Acute Hospitalization

Acute pancreatitis is a common gastrointestinal disease, most frequently requiring acute hospitalization. During SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2) pandemic, the etiologic agent of COVID-19, several studies described the involvement of other tissues besides the respiratory tract, such as the gastrointestinal tract. In pancreas, ACE-2 receptor is expressed in exocrine glands and islets, both being targets for the virus and subsequent pancreatic injury. There are few articles which report pancreatic injury in COVID-19 patients but most of them do not report acute pancreatitis. Diagnosing acute pancreatitis in the setting of COVID-19 pandemic is challenging and requires ruling out all other potential causes of pancreatitis. Herein we report a rare case of severe acute pancreatitis.

Paraoesophageal Hernia

This is a rare case report of acute pancreatitis secondary to a massive incarcerated paraoesophageal hernia. The pathogenesis resulted from obstruction of the distal pancreatic duct after displacement of the pancreatic head and body into the thorax as part of a Type IV paraoesophageal hernia. Although this condition is rare, the patient made steady progress following laparotomy and open repair of hernia. She made a good recovery after prompt therapy, therefore, this report can be a guide to the diagnosis and treatment of similar conditions.

Meckels diverticulum is a rare congenital anomaly of gastrointestinal tract, seen in 2% of population. It was first described by Guilhemus Fabricus Hildonus in 1598. Meckels diverticulum is an anomaly derived from incomplete obliteration of omphalo-mesenteric duct. It is rarely seen in adults, with prevalence of male to female of 2:1. Complications associated with Meckels diverticulum are hemorrhage, inflammation and intestinal obstruction. We present to you a case of 17 year old male with unusual mechanism of small bowel obstruction due to Meckels diverticulum.

Xanthomas are localized nonneoplastic lesions within tissues that may manifest as papules, plaques, or nodules. These lesions can be found anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract, commonly in the stomach and colon, and rarely in the small intestine and esophagus. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) with biopsy is the gold standard tool for diagnosis. Here, we report a rare case of a lower solitary nodular esophageal xanthoma in an elderly black female. Correspondingly, all cases of esophageal xanthomas reported in the English medical literature were reviewed and presented with the reported case.

Reversible Splenial Lesion Syndrome

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) may affect the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. Major central nervous system manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection include seizures, meningoencephalitis, ischemic stroke, anosmia, and hypogeusia. The reversible splenial lesion syndrome was first described in 2004. Although reversible splenial lesion syndrome was initially recognized as a benign phenomenon, a second type of reversible splenial lesion syndrome was identified in later years, which has a poorer prognosis and potentially serious sequela. Reversible splenial lesion syndrome can be caused by numerous etiologies including viruses. In this report, we present a rare case of COVID-19 with reversible splenial lesion, who presented with ataxia and dizziness.
