Hemorrhage in the newborn period in infants with hemophilia is rarely seen except in those children undergoing circumcision.1 Although reported in only five infants since 1960, scalp hemorrhage in newborn infants with hemophilia may be life-threatening.2-5 We have recently seen two infants with severe hemophilia A; each had a life-threatening subgaleal hematoma in the newborn period. Consumptive coagulopathy complicated the clinical and diagnostic evaluation in one case. CASE REPORTS Case 1 K. J. was a 3,370-gm infant born at 42 weeks' gestation by a forceps delivery after a prolonged labor with oxytocin (Pitocin) augmentation. In the first hours of life, a hematoma was noted over the right parietal area.

Cardiac Emergency

Severe hyperkalemia is a potentially life threatening cardiac emergency, especially in patients with renal failure, and can lead to fatal arrhythmias such as ventricular fibrillation or asystole, leading to cardiac arrest. We report a case of a 39-year-old woman who developed sudden cardiac arrest secondary to hyperkalemia (9.95 mEq/L) with renal insufficiency. Despite 20 min of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and conventional treatment for hyperkalemia, the cardiac arrest persisted. Hemodialysis was then initiated via the right femoral vein during CPR, and the patient restored spontaneous heartbeat 40 min later. Hemodialysis should be considered in the course of CPR in severe hyperkalemia induced cardiac arrest if conventional therapies fail.

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a very aggressive primary cutaneous neoplasm most often occurring on the head and neck of the elderly. Spontaneous regression of MCC was first described in 1986. A 79-year-old woman with MCC on the right cheek underwent spontaneous regression of the malignancy, documented by photographic follow-up, computed tomography, and histologic studies. A review of the literature is presented. Complete clinical and histologic regression of MCC was observed in the present case. Although the literature documents 11 similar cases, only 6 can be regarded as complete spontaneous regressions following exclusive performance of a biopsy (primary complete spontaneous regression). Primary complete spontaneous regression of MCC is infrequent, and most case reports describe this phenomenon in women with MCC on the cheek. The reasons underlying regression are unknown.

Though congenital pericardial absence is often asymptomatic, complications can be life threatening. To date, few short case reports, primarily from the pre-CT and MR era, describe congenital absence of the right pericardium. We present a more comprehensive discussion of the embryologic derangements causing such defects and offer an up-to-date review of characteristic radiologic findings. Recognition of characteristic imaging findings of congenital pericardial absence is crucial in guiding diagnosis and management.

Rosette-forming glioneuronal tumour (RGNT) is a rare central nervous system (CNS) neoplasm that typically arises in the fourth ventricle. It is even more uncommon to arise outside the midline. In this paper, we report 2 cases of RGNT: one located in the fourth ventricle (a typical site), and the other in the right cerebellar hemisphere (a rare site). Both cases were misdiagnosed on imaging, and the results were inconsistent with the pathological diagnosis. The aim of the article is to deepen medical practitioners’ understanding of RGNT by learning from these 2 cases, summarizing cases located in the cerebellar hemispheres and systematically reviewing RGNT.

AbstractMusculo-skeletal complaints in a patient suffering from systemic lupus, with co-existing chronic renal failure, undergoing immunosuppressive treatment after kidney transplantation, can have a varied etiology. The aim of this work was to present a case based review of differential diagnosis of knee pain in such a patient. A literature search was carried out using MEDLINE/PubMed, Google Scholar and EBSCO, with no time limit. We undertook a systematic review of the literature published in English, limited to full-text publications of original articles, letters to the editor, and case reports in peer-reviewed journals, for a discussion and analysis of studies reporting arthralgia in patients with lupus after kidney transplantation. We present a case report of a 45-year-old woman with lupus nephritis, after kidney transplantation, who started to complain of increasing pain in the knees, most pronounced at night and after physical activity approximately 2 years after transplantation. Extensive causal diagnostics were carried out, which revealed bilateral extensive regions of bone infarction in the femur and tibia, chondropathy, degenerative changes of medial meniscuses in the body and posterior horn as well as chondromalacia of the patella. Establishing the right diagnosis is crucial for implementing appropriate treatment.

Introduction: Brain Cranium Trauma (TBI) is defined as any traumatic injury that causes an anatomical lesion or functional impairment of the scalp, skull, meninges, brain or its vessels. In the set of injuries from external causes, the TBI stands out in terms of magnitude and, above all, as a cause of death and disability. Objectives: Demonstrate basic and current concepts in relation to the pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of TBI. Methods: The present work is a narrative review of the literature in the PubMed, SciELO and CNBI databases. As search criteria, the following keywords were used: “traumatic brain injury”; “Semiology”; “Neurology” and articles, which were limited to a specific period of 5 years. Exclusion: case reports and inclusion: 12 articles. Results: The main causes of TBI are car accidents, falls, being run over, aggression and sports activities. It was observed that most victims of TBI have subgaleal hematoma (HS), followed by fractures. In mild and moderate TBI, the appearance of HS is more prevalent, 48.5%. In TBI, severe, the incidence of subarachnoid hemorrhage predominates with 71.1% of cases in the first study and 62.5% in the second. Conclusion: The main group affected by TCE are mostly male and young, this predominance is related to the increase in violence with firearms, alcoholism and high speeds in traffic. The elderly group is at risk due to their susceptibility to falls. Children are also prone due to lack of motor coordination, resulting in acidentes.

Streptococcus pseudoporcinus is a beta-hemolytic Gram-positive, catalase-negative, nonmotile coccus arranged in short chains, usually found in the female genitourinary tract and differentiated from Streptococcus porcinus in 2006. Only two human infections associated with this organism have been reported to date: one in a patient with a first digit wound infection and another with lower extremity cellulitis. We describe two novel cases of Streptococcus pseudoporcinus causing endocarditis in one and pneumonia with empyema in another, illustrating the potential of these bacteria to cause severe invasive and life-threatening disease.
