<b>Introduction: </b>Gastrointestinal bleeding is a common disease that surgeons encounter in everyday clinical practice. It is most often easy to diagnose and treat. However, rare causes of bleeding can lead to delayed diagnosis and ineffective treatment. Dysfibrinogenemia is a qualitative fibrinogen disorder in which functional fibrinogen level is reduced with normal antigenic level. <br><b> Case report:</b> Herein we present the case of a 59-year-old female with recurrent gastrointestinal bleeds, that turned out to be an unusual manifestation of congenital dysfibrinogenemia. Detailed imaging and endoscopic diagnostics revealed portal hypertension with a non-bleeding 1-cm gastrointestinal stromal tumor and multiple angiodysplastic lesions in close proximity.

Dengue fever is a mosquito borne arboviral disease endemic in tropical countries. The spectrum of presentation of dengue fever ranges from classical flu like illness to dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome. It is usually regarded as a non-neurotropic virus and neurological manifestations of dengue are rare and hypokalemic quadriparesis is even rarer. Here we present a case report of a patient who presented with hypokalemic quadriparesis due to dengue.
