Abstract Background:Cannabis use is on the rise. Several casesof cannabinoid syndrome, secondary to chronic cannabis intoxication, have been described worldwide, but few cases have described this entity in pregnant women. Case presentation: We describe a 29-year-old pregnant patient that had consumed cannabis and experienced uncontrolled vomiting. The use of hot baths, the rapid improvement in symptoms, and results of complementary examinations suggested a diagnosis of cannabinoid syndrome. The patient could return home and she continued her pregnancy and childbirth without peculiarities. Conclusion:Cannabinoid syndrome should be considered in the differential diagnosis of vomiting in pregnancy. Consumption of cannabis must be systematically included in the anamnesis. However, it seems to be somewhatunacceptable socially or medically. Consumption must be stopped to manage symptoms.

AbstractBackgroundCerebral fat embolism (CFE) syndrome at high altitude was rare complicated with paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) syndrome and septic shock. It is a challenge to differential diagnosis and treatment at high altitude.Case presentationThis case presents a CFE with PSH and septic shock of a 23-year-old man occurred at high altitude of 3800 m above sea level, transferred by airplane successfully and cured in the department of neurosurgery, Xi’an Tangdu Hospital.ConclusionsIt is key that CFE with PSH can be rapid diagnosed and treatment bundles of septic shock should be initiated as soon as possible. Early neurological rehabilitation played an important role for good outcome.

Abstract Purpose: To report a pregnant patient with impaired vision due to macular involvement of valsalva retinopathy associated with subhyaloid hemorrhage, who was effectively treated with Nd:YAG laser hyaloidotomy and led to successful visual recovery.Case presentation: A thirty-year-old pregnant woman at 36-week gestational age was referred due to suddenly decreased visual acuity in her left eye following a severe vomiting. Left eye examination showed a dense large subhyaloid hemorrhage in front of macula extending from superior to inferior arcade with a clear media. With the diagnosis of subhyaloid hemorrhage she underwent Nd:YAG laser hyaloidotomy and visual acuity improved from hand motion to 20/20 after one week.Conclusion: In this report, Nd:YAG laser hyaloidotomy was shown to be effective and safe in treatment of dense subhyaloid hemorrhage in pregnant patients with Valsalva retinopathy.

Abstract Background Cyamella,the sesamoid bones of the popliteus muscle, are rare in humans. Snapping knee is an uncommon problem which can be difficult to diagnose. Case presentation In this case, we report a 24-year-old male with snapping knee caused by symptomatic cyamella in the popliteus tendon. A large cyamella was identified upon surgery and was removed. Postoperatively, the patient had immediate relief of preoperative symptoms, and there were no signs of recurrence after 1 years of follow-up. Conclusions Although not previously suggested, symptomatic cyamella in the popliteus tendon should be considered as part of the differential diagnosis of the snapping knee.

This chapter reviews background information about the incidence, epidemiology, genetics, and other anomalies associated with common congenital anomalies of the upper extremity. The discussion reviews the differential diagnosis of transverse, longitudinal (amelia, radial, ulnar), intercalary (phocomelia), and central (split hand/foot) defects of the radius and ulna and combined upper and lower extremity defects. The chapter summarizes common causes of upper extremity anomalies, including amniotic band disruption sequence, teratogenic agents (misoprostol, thalidomide, valproic acid), vascular disruption, chromosome anomalies, and Mendelian congenital malformation syndromes, and it gives recommendations for evaluation and management. A clinical case presentation features an infant with Holt–Oram syndrome.
