BACKGROUND: Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation of the spleen is a relatively rare benign vascular lesion in both adult and pediatric age groups with unclear etiopathogenesis and variable clinical presentations. Many benign and also malignant splenic masses could mimic sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation, both clinically and radiologically. Herein, we report our experience with a case of sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation in a 3-year-old girl. CASE REPORT: A 3-year-old Iranian girl presented with abdominal pain, back pain, and constipation for 2 weeks...

BACKGROUND: Myxomas are the most prevalent type of heart tumors, mainly occurring in the left atrium, with approximately 20% of cases found in the right atrium. Timely diagnosis and appropriate management of myxomas are crucial for favorable outcomes and to minimize complications. CASE PRESENTATION: A 77-year-old Asian male with no significant medical history presented with intermittent trepopnea and palpitations. Physical examination revealed regular heart sounds and no other relevant findings...

BACKGROUND: Sildenafil is a selective phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension. It is available over the counter in many countries. While there have been a few reports of retinal vascular occlusion following sildenafil consumption, most cases have other comorbidities as risk factors for the disease, and the exact causal role of this drug in these conditions remains unclear. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a healthy 32-year-old Iranian man who developed combined central retinal vein occlusion and retinal artery occlusion following sildenafil exposure...

BACKGROUND: Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder is one of the most severe complications after transplantation, caused by uncontrolled proliferation of Epstein-Barr virus-positive B-cells in the setting of chronic immunosuppression. As one of the biggest transplant centers worldwide, we observed a potential increase in the number of patients with posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder presenting with gastrointestinal symptoms in 1 year, during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic...

BACKGROUND: Acrometastasis is an uncommon finding in non-small cell lung cancer and is usually a sign of multimetastatic disease. Few case reports have suggested solitary digital metastasis as the single secondary lesion of oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer. CASE PRESENTATION: This case report describes an unusual presentation of a Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog-mutated lung adenocarcinoma with a solitary bone metastasis in the fourth finger medial phalanx, which was also the first sign of the disease, in a 63-year-old Caucasian female patient...

INTRODUCTION: Intrahepatic vascular shunts "IHVS" are abnormal communications between intra-hepatic vasculature involving the arterial, portal, or hepatic venous system. Arterio-portal fistula "APF" is an intrahepatic communication between the hepatic arterial system and the portal venous system without any communication with the systemic venous circulation. APF is considered a rare cause of portal hypertension and gastrointestinal bleeding in infancy. CASE PRESENTATION: A 3-month-old Mediterranean female with known cardiac congenital anomalies presented to us with abdominal distension and diarrhea...

BACKGROUND: Intussusception is a rare condition in adults, accounting for 5% of intestinal intussusception and being responsible for approximately 1% of all adult bowel obstructions. Neoplastic origin is the most common etiology of intestinal intussusception in adults, unlike pediatric intussusception, which is usually idiopathic. Intussusception due to the appendiceal mucocele is exceptional, and only a few cases have been reported in the medical literature. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 25-year-old black African male patient with no medical history...

INTRODUCTION: Rathke's cleft cysts are thought to have a benign clinical outcome apart from associated hypopituitarism and visual defects. Synchronous central nervous system lesions, including pituitary adenoma and intracerebral aneurysms, are rarely reported. Diagnosis of Rathke's cleft cyst after presenting with a subarachnoid hemorrhage due to a ruptured arterial aneurysm is reported only once before.

BACKGROUND: Small airways disease (SAD), a novel finding described in post-acute COVID-19 patients, should be suspected when respiratory symptoms continue, air trapping persists on expiratory CT scans, and imaging findings fail to improve despite objectively better conventional pulmonary function test (PFT) parameters. The forced oscillation technique (FOT) and Multiple breathing washout (MBW) are both very sensitive methods for detecting anomalies in the peripheral airways. CASE PRESENTATION: We discuss the case of a 60-year-old Hispanic patient who had severe COVID-19 pneumonia and developed dyspnea, fatigue, and limited daily activity a year later...

BACKGROUND: Obstructive jaundice has various causes, and one of the rarest is pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm (PDAA), which is often associated with celiac axis stenosis caused by median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS). CASE PRESENTATION: The patient was a 77-year-old Azeri woman who presented with progressive jaundice, vague abdominal pain, and abdominal distension from 6 months ago. The intra- and extrahepatic bile ducts were dilated, the liver's margin was slightly irregular, and the echogenicity of the liver was mildly heterogeneous in the initial ultrasound exam...

BACKGROUND: Isolated Patellar Aplasia Hypoplasia is a very rare autosomal dominant disorder. Its treatment depends on the clinical manifestations that can vary widely. The lack of active extension, which can be responsible for frequent falls due to a knee instability, is the most frequent and disabling manifestation. We report an original technique that is a modification of the Galeazzi technique for recurrent dislocation of the patella to gain active extension in case of PTLAH. CASE REPORT: A 7-year-old Caucasian boy with isolated Patellar Aplasia Hypoplasia and an extension lag of the right knee has been treated by a modified Galeazzi technique...

BACKGROUND: Acute presentations of acquired exotropia or divergent alignment of either or both eyes are commonly observed following intracranial vascular events, trauma, orbital, and endoscopic sinus surgeries. CASE PRESENTATION: The reported case is about a 16-year-old previously healthy Tamil female who presented to the emergency department with a few hours of reduced responsiveness. With the only clue in the history being about a family conflict the previous day, the examination revealed a noticeable exotropia along with a constellation of anticholinergic findings: a low Glasgow Coma Score, mydriasis, tachycardia, floppy limbs, exaggerated reflexes, and a palpable urinary bladder...

BACKGROUND: Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune condition affecting the neuromuscular junction and causing muscle weakness along with fatigue (myasthenia). When the clinical manifestations of myasthenia gravis are isolated to the eye muscles, only causing weak eye movements, it is referred to as ocular myasthenia gravis, which can mimic a 1 and ½ syndrome.
