Spontaneous bilateral renal subcapsular hematoma is a rare condition. On literature review, only 2 case reports have elucidated possible etiologies for such a presentation; however, no definite conclusions have been made. We present a rare case of a 52-year-old female with diabetes mellitus type 2, chronic kidney disease stage 4, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, prior traumatic brain injury via motor vehicle accident, who presented to our hospital with diabetic ketoacidosis and clinical signs of pyelonephritis; subsequently, imaging demonstrated spontaneous bilateral renal subcapsular hematoma. Risk factors for the rare presentation in this patient included pyelonephritis, history of bilateral ureteral stent placement, and a remote history of a mild unilateral renal laceration secondary to a motor vehicle accident. Typically, patients with this condition achieve spontaneous resolution with conservative management. Our patient initially presented with diabetic ketoacidosis and pyelonephritis but gradually developed retroperitoneal bleeding and hemorrhagic shock. Our patient’s critical condition required close monitoring in an intensive care unit and a more invasive approach including unilateral left renal artery embolization followed by a unilateral left nephrectomy. The patient ultimately recovered and continued to be followed outpatient without any serious long-term complications.

Thyroid storm is a potentially life-threatening endocrinologic emergency characterized by an exacerbation of a hyperthyroid state. Several inciting factors can instigate the conversion of thyrotoxicosis to thyroid storm; trauma is one such trigger, but it is rare. Patients with thyroid storm can manifest fever, nervous system disorders, gastrointestinal or hepatic dysfunction (e.g., nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and/or jaundice), and arrhythmia and other cardiovascular abnormalities. Treatment of thyroid storm is multimodal and is best managed by the endocrinologist and medical intensivist. Initial medical and supportive therapies are directed at stabilizing the patient, correcting the hyperthyroid state, managing the systemic decompensation, and treating the underlying cause. Once this has been achieved, definitive treatment in the form of radioactive ablation or surgery should be undertaken. We describe a case of thyroid storm in a young man that was precipitated by a motor vehicle accident.

Gastric rupture following blunt abdominal trauma is a rare presentation with a reported incidence of 0.02-1.7% in current literature. Traumatic gastric rupture is usually associated with other visceral injuries, such as splenic lesions and fractures. Prompt diagnosis and early intervention reduce mortality and morbidity. History of a recent meal has been implicated in traumatic gastric rupture. 2 We report a case of blunt abdominal trauma with an isolated gastric rupture after a motor vehicle accident, managed successfully without any post-operative morbidity and mortality.

Teeth with is treated with endodontic treatment has own problems, tends to be weaker because of dentin removal and reduced moisture content, so, requires post and crown restoration treatment. The principle of making restoration should be to restore function, esthetic, and to distribute chewing load, so, both teeth and its crown can be used in a long time in oral cavity. This case report described about 23-year-old female patient with a history of truma motor vehicle accident. Tooth 11,12,21 was fractured 2/3 crown with pulp exposed. The diagnosis which estabilished for this case is irreversible pulpitis and the treatment planning are one visit root canal treatment, post and fiber insertion and porcelain fused to metal restoration. On the first visit, acces preparation with crown down technique was done and rootcanals filled with gutta percha and sealer AH 26 with lateral condensation technique. Fiber post was insertion in next visit and cementation with dual-cured resin. Core was made in resin composite and porcelain fused to metal was inserted after control of patient condition in 1 week. One of those methods that used in this case is prefabricated glass fiber post, because of its biocompatibility, more aesthetic, has a modulus of elasticity which is resemble with dentine. Pressure that its transmitted by post to dentin is low, so, this is minimize a root fractured. The result of this treatment and the restoration was good, there were no patient complaints, and normal gingival seemed around the teeth. Restoration post endodontic treatment can be done with several techniques, one is post and porcelain fused to metal to produce a good restoration.

Scapulothoracic dissociation is a potentially limb-threatening and life-threatening high energy injury. Diagnosis could be obscured due to other associated trauma sustained by the patient. We present a rare case of motor vehicle accident involving 2 motorcyclists who collided onto each other, resulting in both victims sustaining left upper limb scapulothoracic dissociation.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 03 No. 03 July’19.

Objective: To develop a tool for assessing intentions to continue or change activities for recovery following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and determine if they are dependent on injury context or activity type. Method: Adult volunteers with no (or no recent) history of mTBI were randomly allocated to one of two vignette conditions, each with a different injury context. The vignette described an mTBI due to a motor vehicle accident (MVA, n = 76) or sport (SPORT, n = 89). Volunteers reported their rest or activity plans for 39 behaviours comprising three behaviour types (cognitive, physical, and restful). Results: Compared to a cut-score representing no change, on average there was a significant (p <= .001) planned decrease in physical and cognitive behaviours (MVAphysicalt(53) = 7.373; SPORTphysicalt(41) = 9.281; MVAcognitivet(41) = 9.367; SPORTcognitivet(51) = −3.521) and a significant planned increase in restful behaviours, such as sleep (MVArestfult(72) = 10.006; SPORTrestfult(86) = 9.566). An overall within-group effect for behaviour-type was not identified and there was no effect of condition (MVA vs. SPORT). Conclusion: The acute rest and activity plans for a simulated mTBI are behaviour specific and not dependent on context. An expectation for blanket-rest was not was observed but rest was planned for specific behaviours. This tool could be used to guide discussions with mTBI patients about their recovery so that their plans align with advice, and it could aid further research into the relation between intended and actual rest and activity and the effect on eventual outcomes.

The medical records and computed tomography (CT) scans of all children less than 1 year of age admitted to the hospital with head injury over a 2-year period were reviewed. Sixty-four percent of all head injuries, excluding uncomplicated skull fracture, and 95% of serious intracranial injuries were the result of child abuse. The occurrence of intracranial injury in infants, in the absence of a history of significant accidental trauma, such as a motor vehicle accident, constitutes grounds for an official child abuse investigation.

Abstract Bilateral basal ganglia haemorrhage following motor vehicle accident is extremely rare in field of neurosurgery. This is presumed to be secondary to rupture of lenticulostriate or Anterior Choroidal artery by shearing, as a result of acceleration/deceleration forces. Although the exact mechanism is still not known. Isolated bilateral basal ganglia haemorrhage carries favourable prognosis. We report a rare case of 50 years old lady having bilateral basal ganglia haemorrhage with diffuse axonal injury following motor vehicle accident. Patient was managed conservatively and improved.
