Bacterial Pericarditis

Endoscopic biliary stent insertion is a well-established procedure that is indispensable in the management of various benign and malignant biliary disorders, and one that helps prevent mortality related to invasive surgical procedures. We report a rare case of the distal migration of a biliary stent outside the abdomen to the pericardium, inducing constrictive pericarditis and septic shock. This case alerts clinicians to be aware of potential adverse events that can lead to unfavorable patient outcomes. Such adverse events can be effectively avoided through early detection and intervention.

AbstractObjective:To report a rare case of simultaneous bilateral cochlear implantation in a five-month-old child with Usher syndrome.Method:Case report.Results:A five-month-old boy with Usher syndrome and congenital profound bilateral deafness underwent simultaneous bilateral cochlear implantation. The decision to perform implantation in such a young child was based on his having a supportive family and the desire to foster his audiological development before his vision deteriorated. The subject experienced easily resolvable intra- and post-operative adverse events, and was first fitted with an externally worn audio processor four weeks after implantation. At 14 months of age, his audiological development was age-appropriate.Conclusion:Simultaneous bilateral cochlear implantation is possible, and even advisable, in children as young as five months old when performed by an experienced implantation team.

Rare Case Report

Eruption of tooth at about 6 months of age is a momentous stage in child’s life and is an emotional event for the parents. Though, a tooth present in the oral cavity of new born can lead to a lot of delusions. The occurrence of natal and neonatal teeth is a scarce anomaly, which for centuries has been associated with assorted superstitions among different ethnic groups. Natal teeth are more frequent than neonatal teeth, with the ratio being approximately 3: 1. Natal and neonatal teeth are of paramount importance not only for a dentist but also for a paediatrician since their presence may lead to numerous complications. Early detection and treatment of these teeth are recommended because they may induce deformity or mutilation of tongue, dehydration, inadequate nutrients intake by the infant, and growth retardation, the pattern and time of eruption of teeth and its morphology. This paper reports a rare case, wherein a neonatal tooth has led to the development of a fibrous hyperplasia in 10 months old infant.

Patients With Cancer

Melanoma is an aggressive but easily preventable cancer. However, it may have a highly atypical presentation which makes early detection more difficult. This case report discusses a 25-year-old patient with a rare case of melanoma developing underneath the nail of the first toe. The case was originally diagnosed as trauma due to its rarity and epidemiological unlikeliness, however through the patient’s persistence for alternative opinions the correct diagnosis was eventually made. However, this led to an amputation as well as more intense, invasive treatment. There were several points on history (duration of the lesion, appearance of the lesion, and lack of healing progress) which when combined with the lesion’s physical appearance should have made such a presentation suspicious for a more malignant cause. This case highlights the importance of early detection in the prognosis and treatment of patients with cancer, the importance of considering all aspects of a history and physical exam, and the importance of listening to and addressing a patient’s concerns. As always, more common diagnoses should be first considered, but when the story does not match up with the presentation, one should move past the horses to consider the zebras.

Lipomas of vulva have been reported only rarely. Benign tumors of the vulva are normally classified according to their origin as epithelial cell tumors (e.g., keratinocytic, adnexal and ectopic tumors), or mesenchymal cell tumors (e.g., vascular, fibrous, muscular, neural, adipose and melanocytic tumors). Vulvar lipomas need to be differentiated from liposarcomas, which are rare but are very similar to lipomas clinically. Here we present a rare case of large vulvar lipoma in an adolescent girl.
