Simple Step

Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is a common (20–30%) postoperative complication following pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) (Parmar et al., 2013). Various causes and preemptive measures have been suggested to decrease the occurrence of DGE. We added a simple step in the procedure of 26 consecutive pancreatic head resections, which seems to alleviate DGE and has never been highlighted before.

Small Case Series

Solitary fibrous tumors of the spine are rare lesions. Their description in the literature is limited to case reports and small case series. While generally benign lesions, they can recur and occasionally occur as malignancies. Here the authors present the case of a 10-year-old boy, the youngest patient and first preadolescent reported thus far, with this condition. In addition, they perform a comprehensive review of all previously published cases of spinal solitary fibrous tumors.

Diabetic neuroarthropathy of the knee or Charcot knee (CK) is a lesser-known complication of diabetes mellitus, with a limited number of case reports and small case series published in the literature. The majority of these reports describe the complexities and challenges that arise in these patients undergoing knee arthroplasty procedures. We present two cases of CK, including a rare case of concurrent bilateral disease, and also a review of the current literature.

The risk factors and associated conditions of median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) have not been well characterized in the literature. In this study, we aim to investigate the presentation and outcomes of MALS patients with an emphasis on the prevalence of other uncommon disorders. To this end, data of patients with MALS who underwent surgery between 2013 and 2018 were collected and compiled into a retrospective database and analyzed. Eleven patients were identified. Seven of these eleven patients underwent diagnostics to evaluate gastric emptying. Five of these seven patients (71.4%) had radiographic evidence of delayed gastric emptying. Four of the eleven patients (36.4%) were found to have anatomic abnormalities of their visceral vasculature. Two of the eleven patients (18.2%) were found to have connective tissue disorders, both with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Three of the eleven (27.3%) had a diagnosis of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. This is the first case series reporting on an association between MALS and delayed gastric emptying. We also explored the relationship between MALS and visceral vascular abnormalities, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. It is notable that these conditions are more prevalent in the MALS population than in the general population, suggesting a possible pathophysiologic relationship.
