This report describes the epizootiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment of an outbreak of leptospirosis caused by Leptospira canicola in feedlot calves. The infection appeared to be of high morbidity with a cumulative clinical incidence of 15.6 %, cumulative subclinical incidence of 39 % and high mortality (8.3 %). Clinical disease was diagnosed in 4-8-month-old calves, while subclinical infection occurred in 9-12-month-old calves. Subclinical infection was based on serological evidence only. The zoonotic aspects of the infection are emphasised.

Bacterial endocarditis is a disease of primarily middle-aged to older, large-breed dogs that is associated with high morbidity and mortality. It presents many challenges with respect to diagnosis and effective treatment. This paper reviews the pathogenesis, clinical presentation, progression, methods of diagnosis, and treatment of bacterial endocarditis in dogs. Methods for proper diagnosis, including echocardiographic findings and blood culture techniques, and recommendations for effective antimicrobial therapy are also provided.

Timely Diagnosis

Mucoceles arising from the Blandin Nuhn glands are uncommon benign lesions of the oral cavity, which by their clinical presentation may be confused with more serious diseases such as vascular lesions, pyogenic granulomas, polyps, or squamous papillomas; thereby, it is convenient to be aware of the characteristics of this entity to guide the accurate and timely diagnosis and treatment. Herein, we present a case of a 10-year-old patient with a recurrent lesion of this type, which required surgical excision and marsupialization of the same, with no evidence of recurrence during follow-up.

Gallbladder Rupture

Gallbladder rupture following blunt abdominal trauma is a rare event recognized on evaluation and treatment of other visceral injuries during laparotomy. Isolated gallbladder rupture secondary to blunt abdominal trauma is even more uncommon. The clinical presentation of gallbladder injury is variable, resulting in a delay in diagnosis and treatment. We report the case of a patient who suffered an isolated gallbladder rupture due to blunt abdominal trauma.

A four year old white female with a clinical presentation of macroglossia is described. Speech disturbances and occasional episodes of traumatic injury to the tongue with severe bleeding brought the patient to seek dental care. Lymphangioma was diagnosed after incisional biopsy. The differential diagnosis of tongue enlargement in children is discussed including review of the literature relevant to the diagnosis and treatment of lymphangioma.

We present a case report illustrating the complexity encountered in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with multiple diagnoses. The clinical presentation in Tourette syndrome, and the behavioural manifestations in some cases of complex partial seizures can both be misunderstood and misdiagnosed. The paper, within the framework of a case, emphasises the need for a multidisciplinary approach in the assessment and management of such cases.

Uncommon Case

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. It is a common finding in premenopausal women and commonly affects the gastrointestinal tract, especially the rectosigmoid tract. Small bowel involvement is rare and usually asymptomatic making diagnosis difficult. Here we report an uncommon case of exophytic ileal endometriosis surgically treated. Detailed pre-operative counselling on the risk of ileal surgery should always be considered in all cases with endometriosis requiring surgery. We also present a review of the literature regarding the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of this challenging condition.

Aplasia Cutis

Aplasia cutis congenita is a very rare and heterogeneous disease. It is characterized by a localized or extensive skin defect, isolated or associated with damage to the underlying structures, including the bone. The diagnosis is based on the clinical examination. Other abnormalities of various etiologies and severities may be associated with this pathology. Adams-Oliver syndrome is a genetic polymalformative syndrome. The typical form is defined by the presence of Aplasia cutis congenita and limb anomalies. Managing Aplasia cutis congenita, especially in severe cases, is a real challenge. We report a case of a newborn, treated surgically, for extensive occipito-parietal Aplasia cutis congenita. The clinical presentation was suggestive of AdamsOliver syndrome. The evolution was favorable. Describing our experience of managing a case of Aplasia cutis congenita is interesting because: the proposed treatment is very controversial, the rarity and the high morbidity and mortality of Aplasia cutis congenita and Adams-Oliver syndrome. As well as clinical and genetic diversity.

Hashimoto Encephalopathy

Hashimoto encephalopathy is a rarely diagnosed autoimmune neurological disorder, associated with the presence of antithyroid antibodies. The variability of clinical presentation, rarity of the disease, and absence of specific diagnostic markers make timely diagnosis very complicated. This article describes a clinical case of a female patient with Hashimoto encephalopathy and discusses diagnosis, differential diagnosis and treatment approaches. We emphasize the importance of establishing a timely diagnosis, considering high efficacy of targeted treatment.
