Abstract A healthy 35-year-old Brazilian woman presented with persistent redness, swelling, and multiple wounds on the hand 2 weeks after a cat bite in her home country. She was treated twice with amoxicillin-clavulanate but failed to demonstrate improvement. She then presented to our institution with a newly developed abscess on the right hand. Incision and drainage were performed and she was admitted to the hospital. She was subsequently treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics. Her symptoms improved but did not resolve. Four days after hospital discharge, a wound culture resulted as positive for Sporothrix schenchii. The patient was treated with itraconazole. Sporotrichosis is endemic in many countries including Brazil and is known to be transmitted by cat bites. Sporotrichosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis for patients who have symptoms of cellulitis after cat bites in an endemic area.

Background. Abernethy malformation is a rare splanchnic vascular abnormality characterizing extrahepatic abnormal shunts that is classified into types I and II. Abernethy malformation type I has a female predilection and is associated with a variety of concurrent hepatic benign or malignant tumours while type II with concurrent tumours is very rare in females. Case Report. We report a rare female case of Abernethy malformation type II with concurrent occupying lesion in the right liver, which was successfully transplanted; the occupying lesion was pathologically proven to be nodular hyperplasia. Conclusion. This case might provide further knowledge regarding Abernethy malformation. On imaging, the anatomy of portal vein should be carefully investigated to categorize Abernethy malformation, and a wide variety of differential diagnosis of concurrent occupying lesions should be taken into account.

Dopa-responsive dystonia (DRD) is a rare progressive genetically heterogenous disorder with pediatric onset. DRD is 3 times as prevalent in women than in men. This article reports a clinical case of DRD in a young female presenting with paraparesis, foot dystonia (more pronounced in the right foot) and pronounced walking impairment, who was admitted for emergency treatment to a Neurology Unit. Based on the additional tests, which included a levodopa trial and Sanger sequencing, the patient was diagnosed with DRD. Levodopa caused a considerable improvement of the symptoms. The article describes the clinical features of the disease, talks about its differential diagnosis, genetic predisposition and treatment strategy.

This case report shows that keratomas can occur in both hind feet of equine patients and should be considered as a diagnosis for long-standing, intermittent lameness localised to the hooves. A Thoroughbred racehorse presented with long-standing abscessation of the right hind hoof. Owing to the long-standing nature, the abscess draining tract was surgically explored. A focal mass was found within the solar horn. Histopathology revealed the mass to be a keratoma. A similar mass was removed from the left hind hoof a few months later after similar presenting signs. This case shows that keratomas can occur in more than one hoof within a short period and should be considered a differential diagnosis for long-standing lameness localised to the hoof.

Spermatic vein thrombosis is a rare event that mostly affects the left vein thrombosis, but, in our report, it had developed on the right one that requires a meticulous physical examination for diagnosis. The purpose of this case report is to introduce an adult patient with right spermatic vein thrombosis in a 30-year-old man admitted to the operating room for hernia surgery. Spermatic vein thrombosis is an unexpected finding in the differential diagnosis of acute testicular pain.

Introduction: Morel–Lavallée (MLL) is an uncommon entity that is missed by many physicians, it is the result of a shearing force that leads to degloving of the subcutaneous fat from the underlying deep fascia. Case Report: We present a case of a 15-year-old male patient who presented 3 months after the initial crush injury with a large MLL lesion at the lateral aspect of the right proximal thigh. He was treated with incision and drainage with compressive dressing and a negative pressure drain. Conclusion: Diagnosis of MLL is usually clinical and can be aided with radiological tools like MRI that is the gold standard of imaging in this lesion. Several treatment options are available, ranging from conservative treatment with compressive bandages to percutaneous drainage, injection of sclerotic agents, and surgical treatment with incision, drainage, and debridement. Diagnosis and treatment should be familiar to all caregivers to prevent further complications that could be life or organ-threatening.

We describe the case of a nine-day-old female Holstein calf which had cheiloschisis, a moderate dome-shaped head, ataxia and opisthotonus since birth. No significant findings except the dome-shaped head were observed on survey radiography of the skull. Computed tomography (CT) images showed bilateral lateral ventriculomegaly, cerebellar hypoplasia and a cyst-like lesion communicating with the right lateral ventricle. Post-mortem examination revealed a cerebral defect in the frontoparietal lobe, which communicated with the right lateral ventricle, and cerebellar hypoplasia. CT provided a characteristic finding of porencephaly and was helpful for diagnosing the accompanying anomalies. We suggest that porencephaly should be included as a specific anomaly in the differential diagnosis of congenital brain malformation.

Background: Clinically, the recurrent artery of Heubner (RAH) aneurysm is extremely rare, commonly presents with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Case Report: A 73-year-old man with a known moyamoya disease who presented as caudate hemorrhage attributable to an incidental flow aneurysm distal on the right RAH, which was managed conservatively after an unsuccessful endovascular attempt. Unfortunately, the patient died five weeks after  hospital discharge because of re-rupture of the aneurysm. To the best of our knowledge, the RAH aneurysm manifesting as caudate hemorrhage without SAH has not previously been reported. Conclusion: This case highlights that the RAH aneurysm masquerading as caudate hemorrhage without SAH is exceedingly rare but can be encountered, representing a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, and should be considered in the differential diagnosis. Moreover, early identifying and then eliminating such vascular anomaly if possible is of importance to prevent fatal hemorrhage.

Abstract Background During medical imaging, cystic radiation encephalopathy and brain metastasis are difficult to differentiate, and hence they are easily misdiagnosed. To our knowledge, a nasopharyngeal carcinoma recurrence after more than seven years with cerebral metastasis that mimicked cystic radiation encephalopathy has not been reported. Case presentation A 52-year-old man was admitted to the hospital owing to weakness of the right limb for one month, which increased in intensity for three days. He had been diagnosed with nasopharyngeal carcinoma in 2011, which was treated by radiotherapy. The patient successively developed cystic radiation encephalopathy and brain metastasis from the nasopharyngeal carcinoma, which mimicked cystic radiation encephalopathy relapse. Left frontotemporal craniotomy, surgical resection of brain metastasis, and repair of the skull base and dura were performed. Postoperative computed tomography showed that midline deviation recovered, and brain edema was reduced. Conclusions This report is significant because brain metastasis from nasopharyngeal carcinoma can masquerade as a benign entity and cause fatal consequences. In patients presenting with cystic radiation encephalopathy, brain metastasis should be considered as a differential diagnosis.

Uncommon Location

Primary intracardiac tumors are rare and approximately 50-55% are myxomas. The majority of myxomas are located in the left atrium. Here We report a case of a large myxoma in the right atrium, which is an uncommon location for this type of tumor who underwent operative intervention with excision of a 9x6 cm multilobulated mass. In this case report, we emphasize the rarity of large myxomas in the right atrium and the difficulty of differential diagnosis given their dimension and location.
