Orbital Tuberculosis

We describe an interesting case of a 57-year-old man who presented with a rare case of orbital tuberculosis masquerading as sarcoidosis. The varied presentation of orbital tuberculosis may only become evident once a tissue diagnosis is available. Therefore, the dilemma in diagnosis of this rare condition highlights the need for definitive diagnosis through tissue biopsy by a plastic surgeon.

Pump Twin

ABSTRACT This is a very rare condition happening on average once in every 35000 pregnancies. One twin is usually normal. The other is body like tissue often with malformed legs and lower body but no upper body or heart. Abnormal blood vessels on the placental surface allow the normal twin (pump twin) to pump blood through the tissues of abnormal twin. Because the pump twin heart has to pump for two, there is high risk of going into heart failure and death of normal twin. In our cases nature miraculously interrupted the blood circulation to acardiac twin which resulted in normal growth of normal twin. I present here this interesting case diagnosed and followed up and delivered at our institution.

Van Wyk and Grumbach syndrome is a rare condition characterized by breast development, uterine bleeding and multicystic ovaries in the presence of long-standing primary hypothyroidism. The patient with this syndrome was admitted in Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital in November 2013. Here this rare and interesting case was reported.Journal of Current and Advance Medical Research 2015;2(1):24-27DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jcamr.v2i1.22586

Eosinophilic cholangiopathy is termed as a rare, benign, and self-limiting disease. Moreover, the interference of malignant tumor to diagnosis and the changing process of disease make the accurate treatment proposal challenging. A significant number of patients require surgery for the definitive diagnosis and resolution of symptoms. We put forward a case of eosinophilic cholangiopathy infiltrating the gallbladder and bile duct with bone marrow involved, coupled with peripheral eosinophilia. The patient underwent a successful treatment using laparoscopic cholecystectomy and steroids, instead of extrahepatic bile duct excision with Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy. The patient gets an accurate treatment in a minimally invasive manner. In conclusion, surgery refers to not only a diagnostic methodology but also a treatment. When the bile duct and gallbladder are involved at the same time, and cannot distinguish benign and malignant diseases, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is feasible, the effect is the same, and the symptoms of eosinophilic cholecystitis are relieved.

Objectives: Muscle hypertrophy is a relatively rare condition that may cause nerve entrapment syndromes. We report the case of a 14-year-old girl with unilateral hypertrophy of the abductor hallucis muscle with entrapment of the medial plantar nerve and review the literature. Methods: Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed unilateral hypertrophy of the abductor hallucis muscle. Results: Two injections of steroid and lidocaine at the point of tenderness resulted in resolution of the pain. Conclusions: We report a rare case of hypertrophy of the abductor hallucis muscle considered with entrapment of the medial plantar nerve. Treatment of this condition should be selected according to the pathological condition of each patient.

Nasal Glioma

Congenital midline nasal masses are rare lesions, occurring once in every 20,000 to 40,000 live births. 1 – 3 Of these, nasal encephalocele, glioma, and dermoid cysts are the most common and have a potential intracranial extension. 2 – 4 The exact incidence of nasal glioma is not well known, but to our knowledge a total of 164 cases have been reported in the literature to date.

ABSTRACT Aim To discuss a case of spontaneous pneumomediastinum with pneumothorax with subcutaneous emphysema presenting with stridor due to laryngeal edema with relevant review of literature. Background Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is a rare condition that has been described in healthy individuals following Valsalva manoeuvre, excessive and prolonged cough or emesis. Laryngeal involvement in these cases has not been reported so far. Case description We present an interesting case of spontaneous pneumomediastinum with pneumothorax with pneumopericardium and cervicofacial emphysema with suspected ingestion of foreign body. In view of stridor due to laryngeal edema tracheostomy was done. No obvious cause for the air leak was found on further investigations. The foreign body sensation could have led to oral provocative manoeuvres by the patient causing increased intra-alveolar pressures and air leak. Conclusion Spontaneous pneumomediastinum with cervicofacial emphysema with pneumopericardium with laryngeal involvement is very rare. Tracheostomy is essential in case of airway compromise. A thorough evaluation for the underlying condition is essential to prevent further air leak. Clinical significance In a case of spontaneous pneumomediastinum with airway compromise due to involvement of the larynx, tracheostomy is essential to secure the airway and could also help in resolution of emphysema.

Toe Deformity

Congenital unilateral hypertrophy of the plantar musculature is a rare condition, and to our knowledge, reports of only 14 cases have been previously published. As only one describes a concomitant orthopedic toe deformity, we report our case of abductor hallucis, flexor digitorum brevis, and abductor digiti minimi muscle hypertrophy in combination with hallux valgus and claw toe deformity as well as a laterally abducted fifth toe. Thus, this report presents the rare case of congenital hypertrophy of the plantar musculature associated with complex toe deformities. Moreover, the present article contains a detailed description of our surgical technique as well as a review of the current literature.
