Abstract IntroductionElectrical burns generate a special type of injury. the longer a person is exposed to electricity, the worse the injuries will be. Cataracts resulting from this mechanism are of low frequency. Casewe present a case of a cataract secondary to an electrical accident, whose vision worsened over time, which led him to the service consultation. DiscussionThe formation of cataracts after various types of exposure to electricity has been reported but the exact pathogenesis of electrical cataract is controversial, and several theories have been proposed. ConclusionThis type of accident or events related to electrocution should have a complete routine ophthalmology evaluation, as soon as the patient is stable. Although they turn out to be a minimal cause of frequency, you should think about the possibility of their existence. Generally, these cases, without previous affections is considered to have a good visual prognosis.

AbstractProliferative angiopathy (PA) is a rare cerebral vascular disease in which anomalous vessels continually recruit additional feeder arteries, amid a functional brain parenchyma. We report the case of a young woman with progressive history of headache, motor deficit, seizures and drowsiness. She received a misdiagnosis of brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM) and evolved with dysarthria and cognitive decline after an unsuccessful embolization performed at another institution. We opted for conservative treatment with periodic control by imaging tests. Proliferative angiopathy differs in natural history, prognosis, histopathology and treatment of the usual AVMs. Endovascular procedures aggravate the neurological deficits, which are usually progressive and tend to worsen over time.

ABSTRACT Lateral swivel dislocation, a subtype pattern of dislocations occurring at mid tarsal joint is a rare type of injury. A medially or laterally directed force applied to the forefoot causes dislocation of the talonavicular joint but not subtalar joint. The calcaneum alongwith the remaining foot swivels on the intact interosseous talocalcaneal ligament. The present case report is a more rare lateral swivel type of dislocation of talonavicular joint in a 25-year-old male. The article also presents a comprehensive review of literature and management of such type of injuries of the hindfoot . How to cite this article Kapila R, Verka Ps, Garg Rs, Ahmed M.

Background: Pyogenic granuloma (PG) with satellitosis is a rare phenomenon that typically occurs in children and teenagers. It can be seen after excision or trauma to the original lesion. Objective: The aim is to review an atypical case of PG with satellitosis and to highlight a conservative approach to management. Methods: This article includes a case report of a 48-year-old woman developing PG with satellitosis in her right foot and includes a review of the literature. Results: There are few cases of PG with satellitosis in the literature. Our patient differs from most given her age and the location of the lesions. She was managed differently with a conservative observational approach, and, over time, her symptoms abated. Conclusion: PG with satellitosis can occur in varying patient populations with varying presentations. Although several treatment options exist, managing patients conservatively should be considered an approach to management. Early investigations should be conducted to rule out more sinister items in the differential diagnosis.

Introduction:Post-traumatic dysgeusia with conversion of the taste of eggs rotten eggs has not heretofore been described.Method:Case Report: A 60 year old right handed female 6 months prior to presentation sustained head trauma. Three days later she noted reduced taste and smell dysgeusia to eggs. Eggs tasted distorted, like rotten eggs. Raw egg whites had no smell or taste. Cooked egg whites had faint sulfur smell for 2-3 seconds and the taste of sulfur. Yolk of soft-boiled eggs, had no smell or taste. The white had no smell but an unbearable sulfur taste. Raw eggs had no smell. The yolk of hardboiled eggs had no smell and taste, the whites smelled and tasted like sulfur. Sunny side up eggs with yolk and white segregated had no smell but tasted, as they should. Sunny side up eggs with yolk and white mixed together has no smell but strong sulfur taste. Scrambled eggs had no smell but mild sulfur taste, which changed over time to a rotten egg smell and taste. With nose clips, scrambled eggs had 0/10 taste, without the nose clips the smell of sulfur was 3/10.Results:Olfaction: Normosmia to threshold and Retronasal Smell Index: 2 (abnormal): Gustatation : Normogeusia to all. Mild hypogeusia to sodium chloride. MRI: Multiple foci of periventricular and deep white matter demyelization.Discussion:Rotten egg smell maybe mediated through retro-nasal pathways, since nasal obstruction eliminated the rotten egg taste. Eggs can possibly be developed as a home device to assess chemosensory function.
