A case of a healthy young patient which had a spiral fracture of humerus shaft during an arm-wrestling game. Various differential diagnosis should be assessed. Treatment is the same as a fracture of humerus shaft from any other mechanism.

Imaging can be helpful when investigating salivary gland pain and swelling. Typically in such cases, an ultrasound (US) or conventional sialogram would be requested in seeking obstructed or dilated ducts, a ductal calculus or an abscess within the gland. Occasionally a CT scan is requested. MR is usually reserved for investigating clinically palpable masses in the glands. In acute non-obstructive parotitis, the differential diagnosis includes acute non-suppurative parotitis (as found in mumps), early Sjögren’s syndrome, or suppurative parotitis as seen following duct obstruction. Despite sometimes strong insistence on retrograde contrast sialography, this may exacerbate the pre-existing inflammatory process. The imaging of a young patient expands on these observations.

Current diagnostic standards do not answer all questions regarding the etiology of ischemic stroke. Nowadays, the cryptogenic ischemic stroke (without an obvious cause) still represents 20-30% of all acute strokes. In the end, this terminology is used in the absence of a definite medical and scientific diagnosis. The clinical case that will be presented highlights how difficult the differential diagnosis is regarding an ischemic stroke in a young patient, apparently healthy before the acute neurologic event.

<p class="abstract">When a young patient comes to our OPD with chronic heel pain, our first differential diagnosis is never a tumour. We always consider a possibility of calcaneal epiphysitis, or apophysitis. Glomus tumour itself is rare and that involving the bones is rarer. We are presenting here a case of an 11 year ­old girl with complaints of chronic pain in left heel. Plain radiograph revealed a lesion in her left calcaneum. CT scan was suggestive of hyper dense lesion in left calcaneum and possibilities of chondroma or osteoid osteoma were kept. The lesion was excised and microscopy revealed a glomus tumour comprising round to oval cells arranged around blood vessels. Aim of our study is to report such an unusual case of glomus tumour of bone in young patient without recurrence after resection.</p>

<p class="abstract">Adolescent humerus shaft fractures are uncommon. Direct injuries lead to transverse fractures and indirect injuries lead to spiral and most oblique fractures. There is fracture displacement, angulation and internal rotation of the proximal fragment. There is difficulty in maintaining reduction after closed manipulation of spiral fractures. Paediatric humeral shaft fractures are treated by elastic intramedullary nails more often nowadays. We present a case of isolated spiral fracture of the middle1/3rd and distal 1/3rd junction of the humerus shaft with displacement and angulation treated successfully with closed reduction, coaptation U slab followed by functional orthosis.</p>

Coarctation of the aorta is typically thought to be a childhood disease. However, emergency physicians must keep a broad differential diagnosis when faced with a young patient with signs and symptoms of acute congestive heart failure. The authors present a case of newly diagnosed coarctation of the aorta in a 26-year-old male who was first misdiagnosed with pneumonia.

Liver is most commonly involved organ in hydatid cyst. Primary splenic hydatid cysts are rare; we report a case of an isolated giant hydatid cyst of spleen in a 17-year-old man. The diagnosis was confirmed by imaging findings and serology. Partial cystectomy was performed with success. In cystic lesions of spleen, hydatid cyst should be kept in patrician’s mind in the differential diagnosis. Although splenectomy is the gold standard for treating hydatid disease of the spleen, in young patient spleen-preserving surgery seems give good results.

Common Causes

The myopathy associated with hypothyroidism is usually mild and causes myalgia,stiffness, fatigability, and muscle weakness. Severe forms of myopathy, such as rhabdomyolysiswith acute kidney injury (AKI), have rarely been reported in hypothyroidpatients. We describe a young patient who presented with generalized body aches,cramps, and abdominal pain with vomiting after physical exercise. His laboratory studiesdemonstrated that he had rhabdomyolysis and AKI secondary to hypothyroidism;both resolved with thyroid hormone replacement. Hypothyroidism should be consideredin the differential diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis when common causes are excluded.
