Abstract Background To enhance awareness of the clinical features and prevention of endotracheal myiasis. Case presentation A case of intratracheal myiasis is reported. A 61-year-old male patient with a history of laryngectomy was admitted to hospital due to tracheostomal hemorrhage of 3 h duration. Intratracheal myiasis was confirmed by bronchoscopy, and the patient underwent bronchoscopic intervention, which was complicated by a tracheal-esophageal fistula and resolved by endotracheal stenting. Twenty months after stent placement, the fistula had not healed. Conclusion Intratracheal myiasis has serious complications and is difficult to treat. For post-tracheostomy patients, healthcare providers and caregivers should pay attention to the care and monitoring of wounds and maintenance of a tidy, clean living environment to prevent intratracheal myiasis.

An 88-year-old male patient with a past medical history of hypertension and gastroesophageal disease presented with nausea, vomiting, and hypothermia. He was admitted for further testing, which revealed elevated creatine kinase and its MB isoenzyme (CK-MB) and troponin with no significant electrocardiogram changes. He denied cardiac symptoms or any previous cardiac history. The patient was treated with fluids and antibiotics in which improvement in his symptoms was noted. In this article, we share this rare case of hypothermia associated with elevation of CK-MB.

This report describes a rare case of an extra-gonadal oestrogen-secreting tumour in a male patient. An otherwise healthy 60-year-old man presented to our hospital with a 3-month history of shortness of breath and weight loss. Blood panels and histology supported the diagnosis of an oestrogen-secreting choriocarcinoma. Unfortunately, the patient died soon after his diagnosis. The highlighting features of this case are: (1) the difficulty of confirming a diagnosis in a rapidly deteriorating patient; (2) the rarity of oestrogen-secreting extra-gonadal tumours in males; and (3) the aggressive rate of tumour progression seen on sequential imaging.

ABSTRACT Synovial chondromatosis is a condition where the synovial lining of joints, tendons, or bursa undergoes metaplasia into cartilaginous loose bodies. Primary synovial chondromatosis of the ankle joint is very rare and less commonly reported in literature. We report a case of primary synovial chondromatosis of the ankle that we encountered in our clinic. A 33-year-old male patient presented with a history of multiple swellings around his right ankle joint, along with dull aching pain. Both the clinical examination and X-rays were suggestive of primary synovial chondromatosis of the ankle. We performed an open loose body removal and synovectomy of the ankle. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of primary synovial chondromatosis. We report this case owing to its rarity of presentation. How to cite this article Chathoth V, Sankaranarayanan S.

Duodenal Carcinoma

Duodenal adenocarcinoma constitutes 0.4% of gastrointestinal malignancies. Achalasia incidence rate is 0.5-1.2 per 100000. The combination is rare. This is a report of a 68-year-old male from Nepal with history of five years abdominal pain, dysphasia and weight loss. Duodenoscopy could confirm ulcero-proliferative growth at D1-D2. Barium meal depicted features of achalasia cardia. No similar case report suggests that occurrence of duodenal carcinoma and achalasia cardia is merely co- incidental. Discussion: No similar case report suggests that occurrence of duodenal carcinoma and achalasia cardia is merely co- incidental. Consent: Informed consent was obtained from the patient for publication of this case report .

Obturator hernias are rare but pose a diagnostic challenge with relatively high morbidity and mortality. Our patient is an elderly, thin female with an initial evaluation concerning for gastroenteritis, and further evaluation revealed bilateral incarcerated obturator hernias, which confirmed postoperatively as well as a right femoral hernia. An 83-year-old female presented to the outpatient office initially with one-day history of diarrhea and one-week history of episodic colicky abdominal pain. She returned 4 weeks later with diarrhea resolved but worsening abdominal pain and left inner thigh pain while ambulating, without changes in appetite or nausea and vomiting. Abdominal CT scan then revealed bilateral obturator hernias. Patient then presented to the emergency department (ED) due to worsening pain, and subsequently underwent hernia repair. Intraoperatively, it was revealed that the patient had bilateral incarcerated obturator hernias and a right femoral hernia. All three hernias were repaired, and patient was discharged two days later. Patient remained well postoperatively, and 15-month CT of abdomen showed no hernia recurrence.
