Abstract The clinical presentation of a sphenoid fungal ball (FB) is often non-specific and tends to be overlooked, particularly in hosts with an intact immune status. Rarely, potentially life-threatening complications may arise, owning its anatomical characteristics with contiguous structures. Herein, we present an unusual case of sphenoid FB complicated with orbital apex syndrome in an immunocompetent patient. The diagnosis dilemma and subsequent management are further discussed.

Purpose to describe a rare case of orbital apex syndrome caused by aspergillosis with acute presentation. Case description retrospective case report of a 70-year-old man who developed unilateral ophthalmoplegia overnight. He was initially given the diagnosis of suspect Tolosa-Hunt syndrome, but biopsy of the involved tissue showed aspergillosis. Conclusion orbital apex syndrome caused by fungal disease is a life-threatening condition that should be promptly diagnosed and treated. It may present acutely and should not be misdiagnosed as Tolosa-Hunt syndrome. To our knowledge this is the first such case report in the English ophthalmic language Literature.

Gossypibomas are a rare cause of surgical morbidity and mortality. When unrecognised in the perioperative period, they can present later with a myriad of abdominal complications. We present an unusual case of gossypiboma that was discovered as a cause of secondary infertility, misdiagnosed as a complex adnexal mass. After a definitive diagnosis was made, the removal of gossypiboma restored fertility in the patient successfully.

Although primary pericarditis is unusually experienced and diagnosed in paediatric population, it has probable life threatening sequel. This case report presents a case of complicated community acquired staphylococcal pericarditis, which illustrates how evasive the diagnosis of pericardial effusion can be. Early identification of pericarditis and pericardial effusion is vital to enable emergent intervention to enhance prognosis and alleviate mortality. The purpose of this report is to probe into the etiology of acute pericarditis and also to review the clinical presentation, the management and complications connected with acute pericarditis.

Skin Mucosa

Seborrheic keratosis is a benign tumour of skin, a common hyperkeratotic lesion of the epidermis,that usually occurs in the trunk and less frequently in the extremities, face and the scalp. A 65-year old farmer presented with a long standing, slowly growing, firm, redbrown, polypoidal mass about 2×2.5 cm in size, located at the skin mucosa interfare of the tip of nose. The lesion was excised under general anesthesia and histopathologic examination showed seborrheic keratosis. Diagnosis is made on the basis of clinical & histopathological examination. Here, we discuss the clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, pathological diagnosis and management of such a case. There was no recurrence during a year follow-up.Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol; October 2015; 21(2): 119-121

Acquired hemophilia is a relatively rare clinical presentation, and most cases present with acquired FVIII inhibitor. The co-occurrence of inhibitors to multiple coagulation factors is uncommon. These autoantibodies may induce spontaneous life-threatening bleeding in patients who have had no previous bleeding disorder. Herein, we present a patient with postpartum acquired FVIII and FIX inhibitors who developed intramuscular hematoma and hemothorax during follow-up. She was then treated with activated prothrombin complex concentrate and methylprednisolone.

Thymic Cysts

Thymic cysts are usually diagnosed accidentally during radiological evaluation of the chest for unrelated conditions. Symptoms appear late when the mass compresses on adjoining tissues. We report an unusual case of asymptomatic mediastinal thymic cyst which was seen in the neck whenever the patient was asked to perform Valsalva maneuver. This case is being reported for the unusual clinical presentation of a rare disease. The role of imaging in the diagnosis and common differential diagnoses are also discussed.
