Psychiatric Manifestations

The majority of malarial neurological manifestations are due to plasmodium falciparum and the most dreaded is cerebral malaria. Post-malarial neurological syndrome (PMNS) is rarely reported in adults (<3%) and children (>10%) and includes a wide variety of neuro-psychiatric manifestations including the rare delayed cerebellar ataxia. We report a case of 60-year-old woman who had a prior history of fever and presented with cerebellitis. The importance of highlighting this case is because in malaria endemic regions awareness of neurological manifestations of malaria must be included in the differential diagnosis of cerebellar ataxia.

ABSTRACT Patients with sarcoidosis have an indolent course in which the disease is not detected unless seemingly benign symptoms appear. Such was the case in a 42-year-old man who was referred to the orthopedic service for evaluation of a slowly enlarging mass over the left wrist without prior history of trauma. In this article, we will review the symptoms and histopathology of sarcoidosis with a particular focus on orthopedic manifestations of the disease. We believe that clinicians should be aware of these associations so that patients can be diagnosed and treated accordingly.

Ovarian torsion after hysterectomy is a rare event. The diagnosis of ovarian torsion is challenging because symptoms are nonspecific. We present a case of ovarian torsion 2 years after laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH). Furthermore, we performed a literature review about ovarian torsion after hysterectomy. This case shows that, in cases of acute onset pelvic pain in patients with history of hysterectomy, the adnexal torsion must be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis, especially in those women who had undergone LH.

Disease Episode

This is a case-report of two patients with cerebral malaria (CM) imported from West-African countries. Notably, this form of malaria was developed as a second disease episode, while the first episode was experienced in West Africa. These findings suggest that the second episode of malaria was caused by a different strain of Plasmodium falciparum as compared to the first one. They are the first cerebral malaria cases imported in Albania after the eradication and absence of Plasmodium for five decades. Early treatment of cerebral malaria is decisive on the duration of coma and disease’s outcome.

Abstract Background Seminoma is the most common subtype of testicular cancer and occurs most commonly in patients aged 30–49 years, but decreases to a very low level in men in their 60s or older. Case presentation A 90-year-old Syrian man with a 6-year history of an increase in size of his right scrotum, presented to the urological clinic and, on clinical examination, the findings suggested testicular tumor. After orchiectomy and histology results based on microscopic and immunohistochemical examinations, a pure seminoma was diagnosed, so we describe in this case report the second-oldest patient with classical seminoma in the medical literature. Conclusion This case report has been written to focus on the probability of any type of testicular tumor occurring at any age or decade; urologists should consider seminoma as a differential diagnosis with any testicular swelling even in elderly patients.
