Immunodeficiency States

The von Meyenburg complex (VMC) is a rare, congenital malformation of the ductal plate. It is typically asymptomatic and usually discovered incidentally. We report a unique case of recurrent life-threatening hepatobiliary sepsis caused by VMC and a review of the literature. A 62-year-old man presented with recurrent episodes of life-threatening hepatobiliary sepsis. Extensive investigations only showed that he has VMCs without any other source of sepsis or underlying immunodeficiency states. Despite prolonged courses of antibiotics which resolved each episode of sepsis, he suffers repeated recurrences of hepatobiliary sepsis. Liver transplantation is now being considered in view of his refractoriness to medical therapy. As VMC can present with severe hepatobiliary sepsis, it is therefore essential to recognise its presence. This case adds to the literature the atypical but life-threatening clinical presentation of VMC.

Caucasian Male

Erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli, a rare condition of unknown etiology, was first described by Kitamura et al. from Japan in 1960. It is characterized by a triad consisting of well-demarcated erythema, hyperpigmentation, and follicular papules. We report the case of a 50-year-old Caucasian male, who had asymptomatic symmetrical facial lesions since the age of 42. His family history was unremarkable. Published erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli cases of the last 10 years are summarized in this report to demonstrate the variability and differences in the clinical presentation of this uncommon diagnosis.

Primary anorectal malignant melanoma is an extremely rare condition. It appears at the third highest frequency after melanomas of the skin and retina. Its prognosis is dreadful because of the early onset of metastases. The treatment remains essentially surgical. We report an observation of primitive anorectal melanoma, collected at the department of surgery for digestive cancers and liver transplantation of the Ibn Rochd University Hospital of Casablanca, with a review of the literature. In order to analyse the clinical, paraclinical and therapeutic characteristics of primary anorectal melanoma.

Although primary pericarditis is unusually experienced and diagnosed in paediatric population, it has probable life threatening sequel. This case report presents a case of complicated community acquired staphylococcal pericarditis, which illustrates how evasive the diagnosis of pericardial effusion can be. Early identification of pericarditis and pericardial effusion is vital to enable emergent intervention to enhance prognosis and alleviate mortality. The purpose of this report is to probe into the etiology of acute pericarditis and also to review the clinical presentation, the management and complications connected with acute pericarditis.

Timely Treatment

Acute respiratory distress can be life threatening if proper management is delayed. The cause of respiratory distress needs to be diagnosed quickly in order to administer appropriate and timely treatment. However, it is sometimes difficult to tease out various conditions that can present as acute respiratory distress. We present such a unique case of acute respiratory distress in a patient with anemia. We show how the ability to differentiate between cardiogenic and non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema can help in diagnosis and appropriate timely management of acute respiratory distress.
