Splenosis refers to the seeding of splenic cells associated with surgery or trauma. Splenosis mimicking other diseases has been reported in the literature. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of follicular lymphoma in a patient with splenosis whose diagnosis of lymphoma was delayed because of a known history of splenosis. We report a 48-year-old male patient who underwent splenectomy because of injury from a high fall 20 years previously. He had no symptoms other than mild abdominal pain until 2 years previously, which was thought to be associated with splenosis. When his symptoms began to increase, he had explorative laparotomy for diagnosis, which was later confirmed as follicular lymphoma. Splenosis may delay the diagnosis of other conditions that can be underestimated. Clinicians should be aware of unusual symptoms in patients with splenosis.

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a rare inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract. Although commonly associated with allergic diseases, it is also rarely associated with autoimmune disorders. This case report describes a 17-year-old Filipino male with eosinophilic gastroenteritis, manifesting as abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhoea. He had no allergic diseases, but he was previously diagnosed with chronic bullous disease. His symptoms improved with the initiation of corticosteroids. To date, this is the first case report of a patient with eosinophilic gastroenteritis and chronic bullous disease.

Primary cancer of the urethra is rare. Its clinical presentation is nonspecific and urethral stricture is one of its risk factors. Authors report herein the case of a 65-year-old male patient with a history of recurrent urethral stricture for which he opted for a suprapubic catheter. He developed a perineal phlegmon that revealed a primary urethral carcinoma. This case shows unusual symptoms that should lead to suspect urethral carcinoma in a patient with urethral stricture. This will allow to avoid late diagnosis caused by misleading symptoms.

Introduction: The umbilical vein can become recanalised due to portal hypertension in patients with liver cirrhosis but the condition is rarely clinically significant. Although bleeding from this enlarged vein is a known complication, the finding of thrombophlebitis has not been previously described. Case report: We report the case of a 62-year-old male with a history of liver cirrhosis due to alcoholic liver disease presenting to hospital with epigastric pain. A CT scan of the patient’s abdomen revealed a thrombus with surrounding inflammatory changes in a recanalised umbilical vein. The patient was managed conservatively and was discharged home the following day. Conclusion: Thrombophlebitis of a recanalised umbilical vein is a rare cause of abdominal pain in patients with liver cirrhosis.

Background: Binasal Occlusion (BNO) is a clinical technique used by many neurorehabilitative optometrists in patients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and increased visual motion sensitivity (VMS) or visual vertigo. BNO is a technique in which partial occluders are added to the spectacle lenses to suppress the abnormal peripheral visual motion information. This technique helps in reducing VMS symptoms (i.e., nausea, dizziness, balance difficulty, visual confusion). Case Report: A 44-year-old AA female presented for a routine eye exam with a history of mTBI approximately 33 years ago. She was suffering from severe dizziness for the last two years that was adversely impacting her ADLs. The dizziness occurred in all body positions and all environments throughout the day. She was diagnosed with vestibular hypofunction and had undergone vestibular therapy but reported little improvement. Neurological exam revealed dizziness with both OKN drum and hand movement, especially in the left visual field. BNO technique resulted in immediate relief of her dizziness symptoms. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first case that illustrates how the BNO technique in isolation can be beneficial for patients with mTBI and vestibular hypofunction. It demonstrates the success that BNO has in filtering abnormal peripheral visual motion in these patients.

Material and methods. A retrospective analysis of medical records of two children. Anamnestic, clinical, diagnostic and intraoperative findings were analyzed.Purpose. To describe cases of trichobezoars in children : occurrence, diagnostics and treatment.Results. In the first case, a girl, aged 5, often swallowed her own hair after a psychological trauma; and at the age of 15 she complained of hair loss and anemia. In the second case, a boy was chewing and swallowing his own hair for 6 months under the emotional stress. Two weeks before hospitalization he complained of abdominal pain. In both cases, there were no history of intestinal obstruction. At the fibroesophagogastroduodenoscopy, foreign bodies were visualized which were diagnosed as trichobezoars. X-ray diagnostics confirmed foreign bodies in both patients. Those bodies had the shape of the stomach and had an inhomogeneous porous structure. The patients were operated: laparotomy, gastrotomy with removal of dense hair formation. Postoperative course was uneventful.Conclusion. Psychological situations provoked in children the obsessive trichotillomania and trichophagia due to which large trichobezoars were formed in the stomach.

COVID-19 Associated Mucormycosis (CAM) is an emerging infectious disease that has caused increased mortality & morbidity in India during this second wave of the pandemic. The country has reported more than 30,000 cases and over 2,000 deaths by Mucormycosis so far, according to sources from Union Health Ministry. CAM is now a notifiable disease. At our Tertiary care teaching hospital, which caters for COVID 19 management, we are reporting the first case of Rhino orbital CAM, which was caused by Rhizopus spp. Our patient had a history of contact with a suspected COVID 19 patient and was recently diagnosed with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. A direct KOH microscopic examination of purulent material aspirated from the sinonasal polyp of the patient revealed fungal elements, and Rhizopus spp was isolated. Due to a shortage of Amphotericin B, the patient was referred to a government higher speciality centre for further management. The patient was followed up & was noted that he was treated with antifungal and discharged following recovery.

In genetically susceptible individuals, gluten ingestion triggers and immune infiltration and bowel damage in the classical pattern of coeliac disease, with variable symptoms. Intussusception is a condition where one segment of intestine ‘telescopes’ inside of another portion of intestine, which may cause symptoms of abdominal pain due to obstruction. Intussusception has been associated with coeliac disease. We report a 4-year-old girl presented with recurrent abdominal pain of variable severity and found to have intussusception on two occasions, which on both occasions reduced spontaneously during ultrasound examinations. She was later diagnosed with coeliac disease. This case highlights the importance of considering coeliac screening in patients with a history of recurrent abdominal pain and intussusception.

BACKGROUND፡ Gilbert syndrome is a well-recognized condition causing unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia with otherwise normal transaminases and liver function tests. CASE: A 21 year old male patient presented with recurrent episodes of jaundice over four years. The episodes were preceded by stressful conditions and intercurrent illnesses. All laboratory prameters were normal except an unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. A diagnosis of Gilbert syndrome was made after careful clinical evaluation.CONCLUSION: Recognizing Gilbert syndrome has important clinical implicaitions by avoiding uncessary and expensive workup of patients with jaundice. Mangement entails avoiding stressful conditions and prolonged fasting.
