Cysticercosis, an infection with larval form of pork tape worm, Taenia solium, commonly presents with multiple muscular cysts or CNS involvement. Due to vague clinical presentation and unfamiliarity of clinicians with this entity, it is difficult to diagnose which seen as an isolated cyst. In this article presented a case of solitary inguinal region swelling in an 8-year-old boy which after diagnosis proved to be a solitary cysticercosis in the inguinal region which is very rare occurrence.

Multiple Cysts

Cysticercosis is a parasitic infection with CNS involvement in 60-90% of infested patients. The larval form of pork intestinal tapeworm (Taenia solium) is responsible for cysticercosis. Humans are the definitive hosts and usually harbor the adult tapeworm in small intestine as an asymptomatic infestation. Neurocysticercosis most commonly affects the brain parenchyma. Solitary and multiple cysts in brain parencyma is common but we came across a 24 year old lady patient with huge number of cysts which is relatively rare. The aim of this article is to report the rare case. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/mjsbh.v10i1.6450 Medical Journal of Shree Birendra Hospital Jan-June 2011 10(1) 44-45

Introduction: Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic mucocutaneous infection caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi, which mainly affects the mucus membranes of the nose, oropharynx, skin, eyes, and genital mucosa. The purpose of this case report was to illustrate the importance of clinicians in understanding the unusual incidence of this fungal infection, clinical presentation, treatment modalities, and recurrence rate. Observations: A clinical case report showed rare occurrence of rhinosporidiosis in the lower third of the face. The lesion was surgically excised by electrocauterization at its base. Commentaries: The patient showed no signs of recurrence even after 3 years of follow-up. Further research should be carried out to analyze the role of genetic predisposition in causing zoonotic infection. Conclusion: Rhinosporidiosis should also be considered as the differential diagnosis when facial swelling is encountered.

Cysticercus Cellulosae

Cysticercosis is a disease caused by cysticercus cellulosae, a larval form of tapeworm, Taenia solium. Solitary muscular involvement is a rare and often presents diagnostic challenges due to unusual clinical presentation. Conventionally these conditions are diagnosed by histopathology or MR imaging and treated by surgical excision followed by antihelminthetic medication. We reported 2 cases of solitary intramuscular cysticercosis (biceps brachii and soleus muscle) without any systemic and neurological manifestations, accurately diagnosed by ultrasonogrphy and successfully treated conservatively with antihelminthetics and steroids.

: Infective Endocarditis (IE), a known complication of hemodialysis (HD), has recently been categorized as Healthcare-Associated Infective Endocarditis (HAIE). Single pathogen bacteremia is common, polymicrobial endocardial infection is rare in this cohort of the patients. We report a case of endocarditis caused by Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) and Burkholderia cepacia (B. cepacia), a first ever reported combination of a usual and an unusual organism, respectively, in a patient on HD. Clinical presentation of the patient, its complicated course ,medical and surgical management ,along with microbial and echocardiographic findings is presented herein. The authors believe that presentation of this case of HAIE may benefit and contribute positively to cardiac science owing to the rare encounter of this organism as a pathogen in infective endocarditis and the difficulties in treating it.

Large Animals

Oesophageal disorders are relatively uncommon in large animals. Oesophageal obstruction is the most frequently encountered clinical presentation in bovine and it may be intraluminal or extra luminal (Haven, 1990). Intraluminal obstruction or “choke” is the most common abnormality that usually occurs when foreign objects, large feedstuff, medicated boluses, trichobezoars, or oesophageal granuloma lodge in the lumen of the oesophagus. Oesophageal obstructions in bovine commonly occur at the pharynx, the cranial aspect of the cervical oesophagus, the thoracic inlet, or the base of the heart (Choudhary et al., 2010). Diagnosis of such problem depends on the history of eating particular foodstuff and clinical signs as bloat, tenesmus, retching, and salivation

Caucasian Male

Erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli, a rare condition of unknown etiology, was first described by Kitamura et al. from Japan in 1960. It is characterized by a triad consisting of well-demarcated erythema, hyperpigmentation, and follicular papules. We report the case of a 50-year-old Caucasian male, who had asymptomatic symmetrical facial lesions since the age of 42. His family history was unremarkable. Published erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli cases of the last 10 years are summarized in this report to demonstrate the variability and differences in the clinical presentation of this uncommon diagnosis.

Abstract Background Leech infestation in the nose or nasopharyngeal region is a rare occurrence. The most common known cause is drinking water from natural water sources like ponds and rivers. Its hidden location of attachment in the nasopharynx and its uncommon occurrence make it easy to miss during diagnosis. Case presentation We present a case of a 61-year-old male patient with recurrent unilateral epistaxis without any apparent cause. He was diagnosed with leech infestation in the nasopharynx on endoscopic examination. This article reports the management of nasopharyngeal leech infestation and safety measures for this animate foreign body retrieval. Conclusion A vigilant approach, thorough history, and examination are a must. Though leeches are simple to remove most of the time, certain necessary precaution should be kept in mind for better management and prevention of further complications.

The Ideal

Partial physeal bars may develop after injury to the growth plate in children, eventually leading to disturbance of normal growth. Clinical presentation, age of the patient, and the anticipated growth will dictate the best treatment strategy. The ideal treatment for a partial physeal bar is complete excision to allow growth resumption by the remaining healthy physis. There are countless surgical options, some technically challenging, that must be weighted according to each case’s particularities. We reviewed the current literature on physeal bars while reporting the challenging case of a short stature child submitted to a femoral physeal bar endoscopic-assisted resection with successful growth resumption. This case dares surgeons to consider all options when treating limb length discrepancy, such as the endoscopic-assisted resection which might offer successful results.
