Baclofen Withdrawal

A patient who has overdosed on baclofen can present with significant neurological symptoms suggestive of a serious brain insult, but with appropriate diagnosis and treatment they often fully recover within 72 h. If the patient had been maintained on chronic baclofen therapy prior to the overdose, one must be watchful for signs of baclofen withdrawal as recovery from the overdose occurs.

State Of The Field

Ectopic spleen is a rare clinical malformation in which the spleen is relocated from its normal anatomical position to other parts of the abdomen. We report a rare case of abdominopelvic ectopic spleen caused by splenic ligament deficiency. A patient experienced intermittent pain in the left upper abdomen that was progressively aggravated. This was confirmed by comprehensive imaging examinations and postoperative pathology. We also performed a review of the literature on the current state of the field. Our data may help to improve the diagnosis and treatment of ectopic spleen.

Common Site

Gastrointestinal granular cell tumors are uncommon. The most common site of gastrointestinal granular cell tumor (GCT) is esophagus. We report a case of esophageal GCT incidentally diagnosed by endoscopy. The lesion was evaluated by endoscopic ultrasonography and resected using the endoscopic technique without complication.

The review of the literature on epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment methods for chronic familial benign pemphigus Gougerot-Haley-Haley, as well as a clinical case of a patient with this disease with family history are presented. The manifestation of the disease occurred at the age of 24, after childbirth. Later there were numerous relapses. Remission was quickly achieved after treatment with antibiotics and oxygen-ozone therapy. In recent years, there has been an increase in the frequency of exacerbations of the disease, and a decrease in treatment effectiveness.

Review Of The Literature

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare tumor of the urinary system. Only three cases of EHE of the bladder have been reported to date, and the biological properties of the tumor in this location remain poorly characterized. We report a case of primary EHE of the urinary bladder in a 58-year-old woman who was treated by transurethral resection and review the existing literature on the diagnosis and treatment of EHE of the bladder.

Early Manifestation

Neurological involvement in relapsing polychondritis (RP) is relatively rare. We describe the case of an 80-year-old man who presented with hypertrophic pachymeningitis (HP) together with arthritis as the first manifestation of RP. Auricular chondritis, which subsequently determined the diagnosis of RP, occurred a few weeks after the detection of HP. The neurological symptoms, as well as arthritis, were promptly improved by treatment with corticosteroids. It is generally difficult to diagnose RP in the absence of typical cartilaginous involvement; however, the present case suggests that HP may occur as an early clinical manifestation of RP.

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans (KFSD) is a rare, X-linked, hereditary disorder of keratinization, characterized by skin involvement and progressive scarring alopecia of scalp, eyebrows, and eyelashes. The diagnosis is helped by the particular clinical features, but pathology is mandatory. <b><i>Case Presentation:</i></b> We described a case of a female patient referred to the outpatient’s hair consultation of our department, in which we performed trichoscopy as a very useful tool for the diagnosis, followed by pathology that confirmed KFSD. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> In our article, we underlined the importance of trichoscopy for the diagnosis of this hair disease, with also a review of the literature on diagnosis and treatment.

Diagnosis And Management

Although palatal myoclonus has been extensively described (Deuschl, Mischke, Schenck, Schulte-Mönting, & Lücking, 1990), little is known about pharyngo-laryngo-palatal myoclonus (PLPM), a complex and rare subset of head and neck myoclonic disease. To date, there have been only 5 cases of PLPM reported (Drysdale, Ansell, & Adeley, 1993; Gupta, Samant, & Katiyar, 1972; Ito, Kimura, & Shibasaki, 1993; Juby, Shandro, & Emery, 2014; Toland, Porubsky, Coker, & Adams, 1984), and no review of the diagnosis and management of this disease has been performed. Early identification of the etiology of PLPM is critical and can aid in appropriate management, referrals, and subsequent treatment. This article presents a case of PLPM along with a review of the literature relevant to PLPM including key elements of diagnosis and treatment.
