Asymptomatic Case

BACKGROUND: Echinococcosis of the heart has a rate 0.02–2% of all hydatid diseases. Clinical presentation is depending of the location of hydatid cyst in the heart. Patients can be an asymptomatic case or lethal stroke, arrhythmias, valvular dysfunction, pulmonary edema, cardiac tamponade, cardiac failure, shock, and even death. CASE REPORT: We present a case report, a 14-year-old child with 2 weeks of sore throat, whooping cough, subfebrile condition, sweating, fatigue and physical weakness, nausea, abdominal pain, and decreased appetite. He came to emergency room with cardiogenic shock and pulmonary edema. He was diagnosed with intramyocardial hydatid cyst. CONCLUSION: Echinococcus cyst lesion in the LV in lateral wall, not communicating with the LV cavity, has been removed successfully with on-pump technique in a 14-year-oldchild. Median sternotomy was preferred and cardiopulmonary bypass has been considered the safest method. Supplemental medical therapy with albendazole is recommended to reduce the risk of recurrence.

AbstractCystic echinococcosis caused by infection with the larvae form of Echinococcus granulosus remains highly endemic and constitutes a public health concern in some regions of the world. In this case report, we present a rare children case of interventricular hydatid cyst with a size of approximately 5 cm and its successful treatment.

Zenker's Diverticulum

A Killian-Jamieson diverticulum is an outpouching from the lateral wall of the proximal cervical esophagus. These diverticula are rare and are distinct from the more commonly known Zenker’s diverticulum. Literature regarding Killian-Jamieson diverticula and its suggested management is scarce. The present report describes a patient with symptomatic bilateral Killian-Jamieson diverticula. The patient had both diverticula excised and an esophagomyotomy performed. Following surgery, the patient’s symptoms resolved and he recovered well. A literature review and discussion of the etiology, clinical presentation and radiographic findings of Killian-Jamieson diverticulum follow, as do recommendations for clinical management.

Atypical Chest Pain

Hydatid cysts are rarely asymptomatic depending on their location. Complaints may be only relevant due to secondary problems. This paper presents a case report of a myocardial hydatid cyst which was totally excised under cardiopulmonary bypass operation with median sternotomy. Patient was admitted to the hospital with complaint of atypical chest pain in pungent manner together with shortness of breath. Various methods are used for diagnosis. However, echocardiography and computerized tomography with contrast are usually enough for definitive diagnosis and for deciding the strategy of operation. Curative excision must be performed. Extra care should be provided during the operation in order to prevent contamination. Postoperative appropriate antibiotherapy must be administered. Environment should be changed, and infrastructure must be improved in order to prevent further recurrences.

Case Surgery

Abstract OBJECTIVE: Surgery is presently the mainstay in the treatment of cerebral hydatid cysts, but removal without perforation of the cyst wall is critical. The Dowling-Orlando technique has been the main surgical choice for the intact removal of intracranial hydatid cysts. Dowling described his technique in 1929, well before the introduction of the microscope in neurosurgery. Using the operating microscope has not been reported in the removal of a large hydatid cyst. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: The case of a 16-year-old male with a large, right parieto-occipital hydatid cyst is presented. INTERVENTION: In this case, surgery was greatly aided by the use of the microscope in the initial stage of the removal of the cyst. Cyst extraction during the delivery process was continued without the aid of the microscope. The cyst was successfully removed intact. CONCLUSION: The use of the magnification during the early part of the surgery of a hydatid cyst is extremely helpful because, at a crucial stage of the procedure, it prevents inadvertent damage of the very thin cyst wall and allows development of the critical surgical plane.

: Infective Endocarditis (IE), a known complication of hemodialysis (HD), has recently been categorized as Healthcare-Associated Infective Endocarditis (HAIE). Single pathogen bacteremia is common, polymicrobial endocardial infection is rare in this cohort of the patients. We report a case of endocarditis caused by Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) and Burkholderia cepacia (B. cepacia), a first ever reported combination of a usual and an unusual organism, respectively, in a patient on HD. Clinical presentation of the patient, its complicated course ,medical and surgical management ,along with microbial and echocardiographic findings is presented herein. The authors believe that presentation of this case of HAIE may benefit and contribute positively to cardiac science owing to the rare encounter of this organism as a pathogen in infective endocarditis and the difficulties in treating it.

Large Animals

Oesophageal disorders are relatively uncommon in large animals. Oesophageal obstruction is the most frequently encountered clinical presentation in bovine and it may be intraluminal or extra luminal (Haven, 1990). Intraluminal obstruction or “choke” is the most common abnormality that usually occurs when foreign objects, large feedstuff, medicated boluses, trichobezoars, or oesophageal granuloma lodge in the lumen of the oesophagus. Oesophageal obstructions in bovine commonly occur at the pharynx, the cranial aspect of the cervical oesophagus, the thoracic inlet, or the base of the heart (Choudhary et al., 2010). Diagnosis of such problem depends on the history of eating particular foodstuff and clinical signs as bloat, tenesmus, retching, and salivation
