Congenital Fusion

Symphalangism is a rare condition which manifests in either PIP or DIP joint congenital fusion. Symphalangism may be with some other skeletal deformities. In our case, all PIP joints of both hands were fused with bilateral hypoplasia of carpal bones and Minaar type III lunatotriquetral coalition congenitally. No motion was detected in PIP joints with absence of cutaneous creases over all PIP joints. Radiologically, carpal hypoplasia and lunatotriquetral coalition were seen in all fingers with the absence of PIP joints. The patient's skeletal survey revealed no other pathology. He had no complaints related to his hands. So, regular follow-up was recommended. This pathology was presented as rarely observed although clinical problem is usually not so much.

Neonatal fungal endocarditis (FE) remains a rare condition associated with prematurity. It often puts us in diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma as there are no specific guidelines. We described our successful journey with a 26 days old neonate with aspergillus endocarditis responding to multidisciplinary approach with surgical resection and intravenous antifungals.

Sirenomelia or mermaid syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by variable degree of fusion of lower extremities. Awareness to this rare condition is important for prenatal diagnosis and prognosticating the fetus. The exact etiopathogenesis is still an area of research. Two pathogenic hypotheses are the vascular steal hypothesis and the defective blastogenesis hypothesis with exceptions reported in literature.

Pregnancy occurring after multimodal therapy in a woman with breast cancer with a 1-year follow-up period is a relatively rare condition and has been defined as pregnancy-associated breast cancer. A patient can become pregnant after chemotherapy for breast cancer while she is on tamoxifen. However, the effects of tamoxifen on fetus and on the course of the pregnancy are still unknown. Here, we present a 39-year-old woman treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy for bilateral breast cancer, and who became pregnant while taking tamoxifen.

Autonomic Disturbances

AbstractHarlequin syndrome is a condition characterized by autonomic dysfunction leading to hemifacial flushing on one side with pallor and impaired sweating on the other side. It is a rare condition that can be both congenital and acquired, with congenital cases being rarer, comprising ∼6% of all Harlequin syndrome cases. Harlequin syndrome is usually associated with other autonomic disturbances including Horner syndrome especially when presenting as a congenital condition. We reported the findings of a rare case of concomitant congenital Horner and Harlequin syndromes in an otherwise healthy 4-month-old male infant patient and provided a review of the current literature.

ABSTRACT Vaginal adenosis, without a history of diethylstilbestrol (DES) exposure, is a rare condition with an unclear etiology. A 40- year-old female presented with complaints of persistent excessive watery vaginal discharge. On examination, there was red, patchy, diffuse lesion all over the vaginal wall and cervix. Histopathological examination of the lesion revealed vaginal adenosis. This case is presented here for its rarity. How to cite this article Hena SNB, Akhter N, Das S, Kutubi A.

AbstractObjective:Ectopic cervical thymus is a rare anomaly, and 50 per cent of cases occur in children. The aim of this report was to remind clinicians of this rare condition, which is part of the differential diagnosis of a paediatric neck lump.Method:Case report together with literature review of the pathogenesis and management of ectopic cervical thymus.Results:The ectopic cervical thymus is a rare cause of a benign neck mass, and is thus usually misdiagnosed as lymphadenopathy or neoplasia. We discuss its embryology, aetiology, presentation, histopathology, radiology and management, with reference to the reported case.Conclusion:Ectopic cervical thymus should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of a paediatric neck lump. The diagnosis can often be confirmed by cytology and radiology prior to surgical excision.

Hypothenar hammer syndrome is a rare condition with a peculiar presentation that aids in making a clinical diagnosis. We present a 22-year-old male patient who presented with critical hand ischemia secondary to a distal ulnar aneurysm with distal embolization. The patient was treated with an aneurysmectomy with cephalic vein interposition graft, which resulted in complete reversal of his hand ischemia. This case report outlines the clinical presentation of this rare condition, along with a recent review of the literature.
