Isolated congenital mitral ring is a very rare subtype of congenital mitral valve malformation, which accounts for about one-third of congenital cardiac anomalies associated with left ventricular inflow obstruction. A mitral ring may be easily missed unless the disease is suspected. The mitral valve repair should be considered in symptomatic patients with mitral stenosis. We report a rare case of a 43-year-old woman with an intramitral ring who experienced previous embolic stroke with left hemiplegia. However, stroke happened several years ago and it does not completely prove causality.

Life Threatening Complication

Myxoedema coma is a sporadic life-threatening complication of severe hypothyroidism with high mortality. Altered mental status and hypothermia are the main symptoms of myxoedema coma. Apart from that, hypoxia, bradycardia, hypotension, anemia, and hyponatremia would be present. Few patients present comatose with severe myxoedema. Presenting coma may mislead the diagnosis of this condition. A female patient presented with fever, breathlessness, and disorientation was admitted. First diagnosed to have electrolyte imbalance and treatment was started accordingly. The patient did not show much of an improvement, and it took a day to identify the presence of severe hypothyroidism. Treating hypothyroidism resulted in an advance in the patient condition. Patients’ previous history of hypothyroidism was not informed during admission. It is always tough to diagnose myxoedema coma when the patients’ previous history of hypothyroidism is unknown. Hence, it is still essential to have hypothyroidism in mind while treating patients with comatose. This case has been reported to alert physicians in diagnosing myxoedema coma patients and to proceed with the treatment at the earliest.

History Of

Eruptive lingual papillitis is a common benign disorder manifested by inflammation of fungiform papillae on the dorsolateral surface of the tongue. Several variants of lingual papillitis have been reported since 1997, most or all of them with painful erythematous papules. Here we report a case of 6 years old girl child with non-painful severe variant form of eruptive lingual papillitis presented to the emergency department. The entire dorsal surface of the tongue was surfaced by 2-3mm by multiple erythematous papules and some with a white or yellowish colour. The papules were excessively inflamed, pigmented, aggregated, and crusted. The cause was idiopathic which resolved within ten days. The parent and patient were reassured with advice to practice oral hygiene. This is a rare case report describing non-painful lingual papillitis without a history of any prior episodes.

A 14-month female child came with complain of cholera like watery loose stool 10-12 times and vomiting 6-7 times, 24 hrs before admission. She was in severe dehydration, hypotension, unconscious with no recorded fever during her stay in hospital and no history of contact with COVID-19. Patient was COVID-19 positive Dehydration and hypotension was corrected, metabolic acidosis continued and eventually patient succumb due to multiple organ failure. This case report should arouse us to suspect COVID infection in every acute Gastroenteritis child who may not have any common symptoms as seen in COVID patient, also who have no history of significant contact with COVID positive patient in family. Some people with COVID-19 develop gastrointestinal symptoms either alone or with respiratory symptoms. Recently, researchers at Stanford University found that a third of patients they studied with a mild case of COVID-19 had symptoms affecting the digestive system. Another recent study Trusted Source published by researchers in Beijing found that anywhere from 3 to 79 percent of people with COVID-19 develop gastrointestinal symptoms.

Abdominoperineal excision of rectum (APER) is one of the widely used surgical procedures to treat low rectal cancer, benign conditions like Crohn’s proctitis with anal involvement and as a salvage procedure for anal cancer. Perineal wound infection is a well-recognised complication following such major surgery. Occurrence of appendicitis in a few weeks’ time following such a major surgery is uncommon. However, here we present a rare case report of perforated appendicitis presenting as persistent perineal discharge in an elderly man, following laparoscopic APER for a low rectal tumour. To our knowledge, this is the first time such a rare clinical presentation of appendicitis is reported in the history of medical literature. Through this case report, we aim to highlight the importance of considering such an uncommon presentation in patients with perineal discharge, following APER.

Severe Airway Obstruction

ABSTRACT We present a case of a 10 years old child who swallowed a live fish, which resulted in severe upper airway obstruction. The child presented to the casuality with severe airway obstruction with a history of accidental slippage of a live Koi fish into the throat. He was restless, dysphasic, dyspneic, typically placing his hands in front of his neck. On physical examination, there was suprasternal retraction and bilateral decreased breath sound. Direct laryngoscopy was done and fish was removed from hypopharynx as an emergency procedure. We outline our emergency airway management strategies and focus our discussion on the technique used to remove the impacted fish from the upper airway, which was paramount for the successful outcome of this case.

Abstract Background: Fewer than 200 benign multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma cases were reported worldwide till 2017, while its pleural involvement has rarely been reported. Case presentation: We report a 70-year-old man who presented with three months history of chronic cough. Surgical resection was performed, and the pathology confirmed benign multicystic pleural mesothelioma. The patient underwent right lateral thoracotomy, wedges resection of the right upper lobe, and parietal pleurectomy and was discharged with an uneventful postop course.Conclusion: Based on published literature to date, this is the second reported case of pleural involvement of this disease.
