ABSTRACT Frontoethmoidal mucocele can present with a multitude of different symptoms including ophthalmic disturbances. Though benign, they have a tendency to expand by thinning the bony walls. They displace and invade surrounding structures by pressure and bony resorption. If it invades the orbit and continues to expand, the mass may mimic the behavior of many benign growths arising primarily in the orbit. We report a case of a frontoethmoidal mucocele extending into the orbit. Clinically, the patient had an insidious onset of clinical presentation with no intracranial symptoms.

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpiira (ITP), also known as primary immune or autoimmune thmmbocytopenic purpura, is a common cause of thrombocytopenia and bleeding complications in children and adults. It mav be confused with other causes of thrombocvtopenia and is treated with agents that varv in efjicacv, toxicity, and cost. Clinical presentation very in children and adult. In children, ITP is usually an acute, self-limited disorder that resolves spontaneously: in adults, it is typically a chronic disorder with a more insidious onset. In about one third of adults with ITP, the condition is persistent and relatively resistant to most treatments .Available evidence suggests that only about 5% of adults with chronic ITP have spontaneous remission. The principal therapeutic options for ITP include glucocorticoids, intravenous immunoglobulin and splenectomy. Other treatments have been used for refractory cases; these include intravenous anti-Rh (D), azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, danazol, vinca alkaloids, ascorbic acid, colchicine, interferon-alpha, combination chemotherapy, protein A, immunoadsorption, cyclosporine, epsilon-aminocaproic acid, plasma exchange, and accessory splenectomy.

High Index Of Suspicion

Exogenous lipoid pneumonia (ELP) is a rare type of inflammatory lung disease caused by aspiration and/or inhalation of fatty substances and characterized by a chronic foreign body-type reaction to intra-alveolar lipid deposits. The usual clinical presentation occurs with insidious onset of nonspecific respiratory symptoms and radiographic findings that can mimic other pulmonary diseases. Diagnosis of ELP is often missed or delayed as it requires a high index of suspicion and familiarity with the constellation of appropriate history and radiologic and pathologic features. We herein report a case of occupational exposure to tabletop “Teppanyaki” entertainment cooking as a cause of ELP, confirmed by surgical lung biopsies in a 63-year-old Asian woman who worked as a Hibachi-Teppanyaki chef for 25 years.

Rare Diagnosis

Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS) of the larynx in adults is an extremely rare diagnosis with insidious onset and progression. Only six reports (including this one) have been documented in the literature. Clinical presentation is dependent on the site, size, subtype of ERMS and growth rate. Hoarseness is the usual first symptom, followed by stridor and dyspnoea, with dysphagia being late in onset. Accurate staging and risk stratification is necessary to avoid overtreating/undertreating patients and should be guided by local Head and Neck/Sarcoma Multidisciplinary Teams. Treatment has moved away from radical therapeutic regimens to less-invasive, organ-preserving therapies. Long-term follow-up is required due to the risk of late recurrence.

Chronic Course

Subclinical Hypothyroidism is a clinical syndrome which result from the deficiency of Thyroid hormones. Usually, it runs a chronic course with slow and insidious onset. Sometimes it is only accidentally diagnosed. Thyroid gland abnormality where, on one hand influences body metabolism up to a great extent, on the other hand, it is found more in females with ratio of male to female being 1:6, if left untreated it can lead to severe complication. In Ayurveda there is no direct comparison regarding symptoms of Subclinical Hypothyroidism but on the basis of clinical presentation it can be correlated with different entities as syndrome, so it is difficult to give a single Ayurvedic term for it, as there are many systems which are involved in the pathogenesis of Subclinical Hypothyroidism. Hence the symptoms of Pre-clinical and post clinical findings are compared with Rasapradoshaja Vikaras.

Diagnostic Delays

Psoas abscess is a rare infectious disease with nonspecific clinical presentation that frequently causes a diagnostic difficulty. Its insidious onset and occult characteristics can cause diagnostic delays. It is classified as primary or secondary. Staphylococcus aureus is the most commonly causative pathogen in primary psoas abscess. Secondary psoas abscess usually occurs as a result of underlying diseases. A high index of clinical suspicion, the past and recent history of the patient, and imaging studies can be helpful in diagnosing the disease. The delay of the treatment is related with high morbidity and mortality rates. In this paper, 54-year-old patient with severe hip pain having an abscess in the psoas muscle due to metastatic cervical carcinoma is presented.

Lysosomal Diseases

There are four lysosomal diseases of which the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis is the rarest. The clinical presentation and their characteric abnormal ultrastructure subdivide them into four types. These are known as the Infantile form (Santavuori-Haltia), Late infantile form (Jansky-Bielschowsky), Juvenile form (Batten-Spielmeyer-Voght) and the Adult form (Kuph's).An 8 year old Omani girl presented wth myclonic jerks since the age of 4 years, with progressive encephalopathy, mental retardation, ataxia and loss of vision. An ophthalmoscopy was performed followed by rectal suction biopsies (fig. 1). A previous sibling had died of an undiagnosed neurological disorder with a similar clinical picture.

Dementia is a major public health concern that afflicts an estimated 24.3 million people worldwide. Great strides are being made in order to better diagnose, prevent, and treat these disorders. Dementia is associated with multiple complications, some of which can be life-threatening, such as dysphagia. There is great variability between dementias in terms of when dysphagia and other swallowing disorders occur. In order to prepare the reader for the other articles in this publication discussing swallowing issues in depth, the authors of this article will provide a brief overview of the prevalence, risk factors, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis, current treatment options, and implications for eating for the common forms of neurodegenerative dementias.
