BACKGROUND: “False patellar duplication” is a situation where there are two pieces in the position of a knee-joint like patella. It can derive from cartilage tumors, soft tissue tumors, or gout tumors, or due to the heterotopic ossification, forming a sub patella in the knee joint. CASE REPORT: A woman, 57 years old, healthy history, she has hospitalized for right knee joint pain since 2 years. Diagnosis: the synovial osteochondromatosis of the right knee. We decided to conduct and arthroscopy and removal. After 18 months surgery, the patient knee joint is currently good, range of motion (ROM) (-10)°- 0°-160°, Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale 85/100 point. CONCLUSION: This is the second case in the world and the first case in Vietnam. This is an experience in the process of diagnosis, arthroscopic treatment and differentiation from the "double patellae" status.

Diaphragmatic Hernias

Abstract Background: Diaphragmatic hernias are infrequent and remain undiagnosed till the symptoms arise. One third of these patients are asymptomatic. Its diagnosis is only established on the emergence of gastrointestinal, respiratory or cardiovascular complications. Surgical intervention is needed if complications arise. These Diaphragmatic hernias usually involve the left side of diaphragm either through a congenital defect or from a trauma over abdomen or chest as the right side has a type of protective gear which is the Liver lying below the diaphragm. The occurrence of right sided diaphragmatic hernia is rarest of rare. Patients may present with shortness of breath, obstruction, strangulation, gangrene and perforation of gut. The mortality is very high. Symptomatic diaphragmatic hernia in pregnant females is a matter of greater concern. Case Report: A 21-yr-old female, primigravida, primipara, with 22 weeks gestation, complained of severe abdominal pain and intractable vomiting since the last 7 days and for this acute intestinal obstruction was admitted to the emergency department. At the local Primary Health Center her symptoms were partially relieved by symptomatic management, but due to recurrence of symptoms she was referred to our rural hospital.Her chest radiograph revealed a right sided diaphragmatic hernia with large and small intestine as its content. She had no abdominal or respiratory complaints in past. Initially the patient’s general condition improved by nasogastric aspiration but then she developed tachycardia, tachypnoea, nausea and vomiting despite nasogastric aspiration, so emergency exploration was done. Exploratory laparotomy along with right thoracotomy was performed. As the gut was gangrenous, resection anastomosis was done along with diaphragmatic hernia repair.Conclusion: Diaphragmatic hernia in adults and pregnancy is a very rare entity. The right sided diaphragmatic hernia is rarest of rare that too in pregnancy.What makes this case even extraordinary is, it being the first case in studied literature showing specific right sided presentation during pregnancy, as the rest are left sided. Even though the risk of morbidity and mortality is high, once complications arise, but early intervention improves the outcome.

Radioulnar synostosis is a rare disease which causes supination and pronation restriction as a result of osseous or fibrous connections between the radius and ulna. Radioulnar synostosis includes both congenital and post-traumatic types. Post-traumatic radioulnar synostosis can be seen in the proximal, middle, and distal part of the forearm, depending on the location of the trauma. Congenital proximal radioulnar synostosis occurs as a result of a separation defect between the radius and ulna in the embryonic period. In the presence of congenital proximal radioulnar synostosis, the patient should be evaluated for accompanying syndromes and possible developmental anomalies. In this report, we present a rare case of both proximal and distal radioulnar synostosis. Hypoplasia of the right pectoral muscle mass, hypoplastic appearance of the right nipple, presence of proximal and distal radioulnar synostosis in the right forearm, and accompanying symbrachydactyly suggested Poland syndrome. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case of congenital proximal and distal radioulnar synostosis with Poland syndrome.

Feline dysautonomia is a devastating disease characterized by neuronal degeneration in autonomic ganglia that results in clinical signs related to dysfunction of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The cause is unknown and this disease has a poor prognosis and no definitive treatment. Most reports have been described in few countries around the world, but the prevalence may be underestimated in countries like Brazil. This study describes the progression and clinicopathological changes of dysautonomia in a 17-month-old female Brazilian shorthair cat.

Melioidosis, a disease with protean clinical manifestations, is prevalent in many parts of India, with established endemic hotspots on the southern coast of the country. However, it is still underdiagnosed in many resource-poor regions of the country. We report what is, to the best of our knowledge, the first case of melioidosis diagnosed and treated in Bihar, an economically underdeveloped state in East India. The patient, a 52-year-old diabetic male, presented to the outpatient department with a fever of insidious onset along with pain and restriction of movement in the right shoulder joint and right knee joint, and swelling and tenderness of bilateral ankle joints. Radiological features were suggestive of multiple joint and organ abscesses. A diagnosis of disseminated septicaemic melioidosis was confirmed microbiologically. The patient improved clinically following aggressive treatment with meropenem and cotrimoxazole. The case highlights the need for increased clinical suspicion of melioidosis and adequate diagnostic facilities, as well as the need for early institution of appropriate empirical antibiotics in suspected cases of melioidosis in this region of the world.

Despite the eradication of smallpox from the world in 1980 the osteo-articular sequelae of smallpox are still occasionally noticed in previously endemic areas. The sequelae of osteomyelitis variolosa may raise a diagnostic challenge to the untrained eyes of the surgeon. We present a case of “osteomyelitis variolosa” in a 70 years old patient. The patient had bilateral dislocation of the elbow joint with multidirectional instability. There was distortion of the articular surfaces and ankylosis of the bilateral proximal radio-ulnar joint. Hypoplasia of the right ulna with short fourth and fifth metacarpals of the left hand and hypoplasia of right fourth metacarpal with cortical thickening was noted radiologically. The patient had minimal disability of his elbows despite the striking radiological abnormality and was functionally independent.

Hunter's Syndrome

Bow hunter's syndrome (BHS) is most commonly caused by compression of the vertebral artery (VA). It has not been known to occur due to an extracranially originated posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA), the first case of which we present herein. A 71-year-old man presented with reproducible dizziness on leftward head rotation, indicative of BHS. On radiographic examination, the bilateral VAs merged into the basilar artery, and the left VA was predominant. The right PICA originated extracranially from the right VA at the atlas–axis level and ran vertically into the spinal canal. During the head rotation that induced dizziness, the right PICA was occluded, and a VA stenosis was revealed. Occlusion of the PICA was considered to be the primary cause of the dizziness. The patient underwent surgery to decompress the right PICA and VA via a posterior cervical approach. Following surgery, the patient's dizziness disappeared, and the stenotic change at the right VA and PICA improved. The PICA could be a causative artery for BHS when it originates extracranially at the atlas–axis level, and posterior decompression is an effective way to treat it.

Abstract Background: SARS-COV-2, first reported in December 2019, usually presents with respiratory symptoms but can have various other manifestations and sequelae. One of the rare complications of COVID-19 infection is Reactive Arthritis. This complication is more likely to occur following sexually transmitted or gastrointestinal infection.Case presentation: Herein, we report a 58 years old woman hospitalized following COVID-19 infection and was discharged after a week. She consequently presented to the clinic ten days after her discharge, complaining of walking difficulties and radiating pain in her right hip. After ultrasound and MRI, she was diagnosed with reactive arthritis inflammation in the hip’s neck. Other known microorganisms responsible for reactive arthritis were ruled out before attributing it to the earlier COVID-19 infection. She reached remission after being treated using a combination of indomethacin and depot methyl-prednisolone for 14 days. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first case of reactive arthritis caused by SARS-COV-2 in the hip. Further attention should be paid to symptoms occurring after an episode of infection with COVID-19 in order to expand our understanding of the disease and the symptoms with which it can manifest.

Mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinomas are rare tumors that contain both an exocrine and an endocrine component. Since the latest classification by the World Health Organization and with the aid of immunostaining, more mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinomas are now identified and diagnosed. Nonetheless, our knowledge of these tumors is still limited, notably concerning gastric variants, as the cases reported in the literature are very limited. The clinical and surgical treatment, including the chemotherapy schemes, the prognosis, and recurrence still represent challenges for the medical teams. We present the case of a 62-year-old woman. After an upper endoscopy revealed multiple polyps and a low-grade neuroendocrine tumor, a D2 radical gastrectomy was performed. A low output esophageal anastomotic leak was discovered in the postoperative period and successfully managed. Pathology revealed a gastric mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma, the first case of this kind reported in Ecuador. Patient is doing well and under constant surveillance up until her 13th postoperative month.
