<p class="abstract"><span lang="MT">Cavernous hemangioma of the nasal cavity is extremely rare with only case reports in the literature highlighting the imaging findings on CT and MRI. Haemangioma are benign vascular tumours, which originate in the skin, mucosa and deep structures such as bones, muscles and glands. Exact etiopathogenesis of the haemangioma is not known, although they are divided into two types depending on the dominant vessel size at microscopy, capillary and cavernous. When these neoplasms arise in the nasal cavity, they are predominantly capillary and are found to arise from the nasal septum and are more common in the children. On the other hand, Cavernous haemangiomas are more likely to be found on the lateral wall of the nasal cavity and are more commonly seen in elderly. Also, inverted pappiloma also more commonly arise from the lateral wall of the nasal cavity, from the middle turbinate and also has the same demographics as the cavernous hemangioma. So, the distinction between the two should be carefully made based on the imaging findings so as to give the appropriate treatment to the patient. We have presented a rare case cavernous haemangioma arising from the mucosa of the middle nasal meatus, in a 37-year-old male which is mimicking as an inverted pappiloma based on the imaging features; however on histopathology proved to be cavernous hemangioma and also on the multimodal imaging that helps in early diagnosis and advocating appropriate and timely treatment</span><span lang="EN-IN">.</span></p>

Abstract Background Abruptio placentae is a complication of pregnancy that can lead to uterine rupture, increasing maternal and fetal mortality, especially when there is a lack of medical outreach in remote areas. Case presentation We present two maternal deaths due to uterine rupture in a term pregnancy consequent to abruptio placentae. In one case, the uterus ruptured at the previous lower segment Caesarean section (LSCS) scar site and in another over the lateral wall of Couvelaire uterus. In both cases, the fetus was partially lying outside the uterus in the peritoneal cavity, and there was a massive retro-placental clot. Conclusions Early identification of high-risk factors, followed by institutional delivery, may reduce maternal and fetal mortality due to abruption followed by uterine rupture.

Abstract. The aim of this review was to investigate presentation, aetiology, management, and outcomes of bowel ischaemia following EVAR. We present a case report and searched electronic bibliographic databases to identify published reports of bowel ischaemia following elective infra-renal EVAR not involving hypogastric artery coverage or iliac branch devices. We conducted our review according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement standards. In total, five cohort studies and three case reports were included. These studies detailed some 6,184 infra-renal elective EVARs, without procedure-related occlusion of the hypogastric arteries, performed between 1996 and 2014. Bowel ischaemia in this setting is uncommon with an incidence ranging from 0.5 to 2.8 % and includes a spectrum of severity from mucosal to transmural ischaemia. Due to varying reporting standards, an overall proportion of patients requiring bowel resection could not be ascertained. In the larger series, mortality ranged from 35 to 80 %. Atheroembolization, hypotension, and inferior mesenteric artery occlusion were reported as potential causative factors. Elderly patients and those undergoing prolonged procedures appear at higher risk. Bowel ischaemia is a rare but potentially devastating complication following elective infra-renal EVAR and can occur in the setting of patent mesenteric vessels and hypogastric arteries. Mortality ranges from 35 to 80 %. Further research is required to identify risk factors and establish prophylactic measures in patients that have an increased risk of developing bowel ischaemia after standard infra-renal EVAR.

Background: To investigate the hypothesis that cases of arteritis similar to thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) and associated with the use of cannabis were caused by cannabis or THC (dronabinol), or that cannabis use is a co-factor of TAO. Patients and methods: A systematic review on case reports and the literature on so-called cannabis arteritis, TAO, and cardiovascular effects of cannabinoids was conducted. Results: Fifteen reports with 57 cases of an arteritis associated with the use of cannabis and two additional case series of TAO, in which some patients also used cannabis, were identified. Clinical and pathological features of cannabis-associated arteritis do not differ from TAO and the major risk factor of TAO, tobacco use, was present in most, if not in all of these cases. The proposed pathophysiological mechanisms for the development of an arteritis by cannabis use are not substantiated. Conclusions: The hypothesis of cannabis being a causative factor or co-factor of TAO or an arteritis similar to TAO is not supported by the available evidence. The use of the term “cannabis arteritis” should be avoided until or unless more convincing scientific support is forthcoming.

Häufige Frakturen im Bereich der Schulter betreffen je nach Alter die Clavicula oder den proximalen Humerus. Die Indikation zur operativen Stabilisierung ist bei Luxationsfrakturen des lateralen Claviculaendes und bei instabilen und dislozierten Frakturen des proximalen Humerus grosszügig zu stellen. Werden Kirschner-Drähte zur Osteosynthese eingesetzt muss in hohem Masse mit Drahtwanderungen oder Drahtbrüchen gerechnet werden. In mehreren Fällen wird in der Literatur auf diese Komplikation hingewiesen. Anhand von vier Fallbeispielen möchten wir Ursachen und technische Voraussetzungen aufzeigen, die bei dieser operativen Variante zu lebensbedrohlichen Komplikationen durch eine sekundäre Migration führen können. Dies unter Umständen nach Jahren und ohne klinische Symptome. Die Indikation zur Kirschnerdraht-Osteosynthese muss vor allem bei vorliegender Osteoporose zurückhaltend gestellt werden. Regelmässige Kontrollen in der postoperativen Phase werden empfohlen, die Entfernung der Drähte sollte bei konsolidierter Fraktur frühzeitig geplant werden.
