Heterotopic pregnancy is a rare condition in which both intrauterine and extrauterine pregnancies occur simultaneously. It was reported to be very rare in normal conceived pregnancy. However, with the considerable progress of the assisted reproductive techniques, the incidence of heterotopic pregnancy increased. Furthermore, the incidence also increases in previous abortions. In this case report, we will present and discuss a patient who had heterotopic pregnancy after clomiphene-induced ovulation as well as a history of previous abortion where the extrauterine fallopian tube ruptured and was managed surgically while the intrauterine pregnancy was preserved.

Heterotopic pregnancy is the condition where both intrauterine and ectopic pregnancy are present. It rarely occurs after natural conception, but is more common with assisted reproductive techniques, when more than one embryo is transferred. Quadruplet heterotopic pregnancy is exceedingly rare. Methods: A literature review was conducted aiming to highlight the diagnosis difficulties and the management options in heterotopic quadruplet pregnancies. Results: Nine relevant studies were identified by researching PubMed up to 2021 for “heterotopic quadruplet pregnancy”, “quadruplet intrauterine and ectopic pregnancy”, “synchronous intrauterine and ectopic pregnancy”. Conclusions: In this paper, we present a case of heterotopic quadruplet pregnancy and address the difficulty in diagnosing this condition and make formal recommendations.

Paraplegia is a rare postoperative complication. We present a case of acute paraplegia after elective gastrectomy surgery because of cervical disc herniation. The 73-year-old man has the medical history of cervical spondylitis with only symptom of temporary pain in neck and shoulder. Although the patient’s neck was cautiously preserved by using the Discopo, an acute paraplegia emerged at about 10 hours after the operation. Severe compression of the spinal cord by herniation of the C4-C5 cervical disc was diagnosed and emergency surgical decompression was performed immediately. Unfortunately the patient showed limited improvement in neurologic deficits even after 11 months.

An 18-year-old man with a history of type 3 von Willebrand disease (VWD) presented with a spontaneous pyohaemothorax. Type 3 VWD may present with both mucocutaneous and deep-seated bleeds, such as visceral haemorrhages, intracranial bleeds and haemarthrosis. There have been very few cases described in children of spontaneous pyohaemothorax. Management of this patient was challenging due to risks of bleeding following surgical drainage, requiring constant replacement with von Willebrand factor concentrate, while monitoring factor VIII levels to balance the risks of thrombosis.

<p class="abstract">We had a sixty years old male patient, who had one year history of foreign body sensation in throat and the history of odynophagia for the last ten days. The NCCT neck showed 3.08×2.28 cm homogenous calcified mass in left tonsillar fossa. The stone was removed and tonsillectomy was performed. Giant tonsillolith is a rare clinical entity. As per available literature, 54 cases of giant tonsilloliths have been reported and to the best of our knowledge, this is one of the largest tonsillolith in the world till date. </p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Tonsillolith, Oral cavity<strong></strong>

Gastric dilatation and volvulus (GDV) is a progressing bloat condition in dogs characterized as dilatation followed by rotation of stomach. A sevenyear old 18 kg black colour female non-descriptive dog presented, with history of difficulty in respiration within half an hour after feeding of curd meals. With the history and general clinical examination the case tentatively diagnosed as gastric dilatation. After unsuccessful advancement of oro-gastric tube, needle gastric paracentesis was performed on left side of the abdomen caudal to the last rib for decompression. Mid-ventral celiotomy and gastrotomy were performed after stabilization of heart rate and respiratory rate. After evacuating the whitish frothy content from the stomach, derotation and incisional gastropexy was performed. On 14thpostoperative day telecommunication confirmed the milk based meal induced GDV canine patient recovered uneventfully. Electrocardiogram monitoring done for first 24 hours period and ventricular arrhythmia was managed by using lidocaine (loading@2mg/ kg bw followed by 25mcg/kg/min for 30 min). It is concluded that on 14th postoperative day telecommunication confirmed the milk based meal induced GDV canine patient recovered uneventfully.

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare disorder characterised by accumulation of lipoproteinaceous material in the alveolar air spaces. Diagnosis depends on histopathological and radiological features. Treatment includes whole lung lavage (WLL) and GM-CSF therapy. We present a case report of primary idiopathic PAP treated with bilateral whole lung lavage. A 50 year old female presented with history of progressive breathlessness and recurrent lower respiratory tract infection. There were bilateral basal ne crepitations on auscultation and she was maintaining saturation of 70% at room air. Serial chest radiographs showed persistent bilateral alveolar opacities. HRCT thorax showed crazy paving pattern involving both lungs. BAL uid showed lipoproteinaceous material which was PAS stain positive. Patient was subsequently treated with bilateral WLLfollowing which there was radiological and clinical improvement

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has caused a global health crisis. COVID-19 can have a multifaceted presentation. A wide range of complications and outcomes can emerge based on the severity and comorbidities of the infected patient.  We report a 42-year-old male with past medical history of CML on Dasatinib (in Major Molecular Response) who was diagnosed with COVID-19 and developed pancytopenia. Our case and review of available reports add to the limited literature available regarding COVID-19 in CML.

Cystic and bullous lung transformation occurs in diseases of various origins: neoplastic, genetically determined, rheumatic, lymphoproliferative, and infectious diseases. The paper presents a review of the literature and a clinical case of a young female patient with a long history of Sjögren's disease. Fifteen years after the onset of the disease, the patient developed cystic and bullous lung transformation and renal angiomyolipoma, which are regarded as a manifestation of probable lymphangioleiomyomatosis.
