JOURNAL ARTICLE
Hemanth A Baboolal, A Gulati
BACKGROUND: Oral midazolam is commonly administered to reduce anxiety in children presenting for medical procedures or surgery. It is unclear what volume of medication remains unabsorbed in the stomach when the child presents for anesthetic induction prior to these procedures. The presence of any significant residual medication in the stomach has significant clinical implications in the postoperative period. CASE PRESENTATION: A 5-year-old white Caucasian boy presented for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy after receiving oral midazolam liquid...

BACKGROUND: Meckel's diverticulum is a remnant of the omphalomesenteric duct and occurs in only about 2% of people. Mesodiverticular band is the congenital remnant of the vitelline artery and is an even less often occurring phenomenon. PRESENTED CASE: We present the case of a 56-year-old Caucasian male who was admitted to the emergency department with a very intense, sudden abdominal pain, without past abdominal surgery history. Contrast enhanced computed tomography showed a possibly ischemic closed loop of the small intestine...

BACKGROUND: The first cases of coronavirus disease 2019 were officially confirmed in Germany and its European neighbors in late January 2020. In France and Italy, there is evidence that coronavirus disease 2019 was spreading as early as December 2019.

BACKGROUND: Ewing's sarcoma is a malignant neoplasm that mainly occurs in skeletal tissue but can rarely arise in soft tissues. Recently, small round cell tumors (including Ewing's sarcoma) caused by chromosomal translocations have been collectively termed Ewing's sarcoma family of tumors. We report a rare case of primary adrenal Ewing's sarcoma family of tumors with tumor thrombus. CASE PRESENTATION: A 22-year-old Asian woman was referred to our hospital with a left retroperitoneal tumor 19 cm in diameter...

BACKGROUND: High-dose vitamin E intake is known to inhibit vitamin K-derived coagulation factor synthesis, which can cause serious bleeding events such as gastrointestinal bleeding and intracranial hemorrhage. We report a case of coagulopathy induced by marginally increased levels of vitamin E. CASE PRESENTATION: A 31-year-old Indian man presented with oral bleeding, black tarry stools, and bruising over his back. He had been taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for low backache and vitamin E for hair loss...

BACKGROUND: Abdominal nonfunctional paraganglioma is rare. Malignant potential of paraganglioma is assessed by Grading of Adrenal Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma score and genetic testing, but genetic testing is not common. We present a case of abdominal nonfunctional paraganglioma whose malignant potential was assessed by grading of adrenal pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma score and succinate dehydrogenase subunit B staining alternative to genetic testing. CASE PRESENTATION: A 39-year-old Japanese man had a right retroperitoneal tumor without symptoms...

Y N Gashi, Mohamed Eltayeb Abdelrahman Naiem
BACKGROUND: The ulnar nerve has a long and complex anatomical course, originating from the brachial neural plexus in the neck with nerve trunk formation at the posterior neck triangle, and on to the axilla. This intricate anatomical pathway renders the nerve susceptible to compression, direct injury, and traction throughout its course. Compression of the ulnar nerve is the second most common compression neuropathy of the median nerve adjacent to the wrist joint, after carpal tunnel syndrome...

BACKGROUND: Hemangioblastoma of the central nervous system is an uncommon benign neoplasm, with about 25% of cases in patients with von Hippel-Lindau disease. The incidence of metastasis is rare, particularly in patients without von Hippel-Lindau disease. We report a case of hemangioblastoma with leptomeningeal dissemination as a late recurrence. CASE PRESENTATION: A 65-year-old Caucasian man with a history of World Health Organization grade I hemangioblastoma of the cerebellar vermis underwent gross total resection in 1997...

BACKGROUND: Coronavirus disease 2019 was spread worldwide, as a pandemic, from December 2019. Venous thromboembolism events can inflict patients with coronavirus disease 2019 during the hospitalization or convalescent period. Therefore, monitoring of these patients, in terms of venous thromboembolism events signs and symptoms, and timely management of antithrombotic agents are of great importance. CASE REPORT: A 45-year-old Iranian man, who is the first author of this case report, was infected by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and displayed the typical signs and symptoms of coronavirus disease 2019...

BACKGROUND: Drug-induced liver injury is an acute or chronic liver damage in response to drugs, herbals, and any chemical compound. CASE PRESENTATION: In the present work, liver failure following the use of tofacitinib was reported. The patient was an 18-year-old iranian woman without any history of underlying disease.

BACKGROUND: Resistance to dopamine agonists is not uncommonly seen in prolactinomas. However, development of resistance to dopamine agonists after an initial period of robust treatment response is rare, and only 39 cases have been reported in the past four decades. We describe a Chinese man with this rare condition and explored the postulated mechanisms that may explain this phenomenon. We compiled similar cases that were previously reported and compared their etiology, progress, and response to treatment...

BACKGROUND: Dettol and sodium hypochlorite have wide use as household disinfectants and cleaners. Intentional and nonintentional ingestion are widespread, mainly causing mild symptoms that require no specific treatment. However, severe complications can occur when large volumes are ingested. Both products affect the same organ systems in the body, which can result in fatalities when ingested together. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a 26-year-old Asian man who died from multiorgan failure after deliberately ingesting a presumed large volume of Dettol and sodium hypochlorite...

BACKGROUND: Lymphangiomas are lesions attributed to congenital malformations of the lymphatic system, or acquired chronic obstruction of the lymphatic network due to trauma, radiation, surgical manipulation, inflammation, or infection. Overall, lymaphangiomas are rare, and particularly, retroperitoneal lymphangiomas are far more uncommon per reported cases.

BACKGROUND: Perigastric abscess caused by delayed perforation after endoscopic submucosal dissection is a very rare complication. In principle, delayed perforation after endoscopic submucosal dissection is treated surgically. Herein, we report a case of perigastric abscess caused by delayed perforation after gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection that was treated conservatively, without perforation closure, and in which the patient was discharged from hospital in a short period. CASE PRESENTATION: A-74-year-old Asian man was diagnosed with having early gastric cancer on follow-up endoscopy and was admitted to our hospital for endoscopic resection...

BACKGROUND: The medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve is a branch of the brachial plexus that contains C8-T1 segments. Injury of this nerve by various mechanisms has been reported in the literature; however, currently, there is no reported case of medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve injury in the setting of acute blunt trauma.

BACKGROUND: Melanoma is usually discovered from an irregular skin patch or a modification of a preexisting patch. Cutaneous and lymph node metastases are common. Muscle metastases are rare. We report a case of melanoma with infiltration of the gluteus maximus, which had normal dermatological examination. CASE PRESENTATION: A 43-year-old Malagasy man with no history of skin surgery was admitted with progressively worsening dyspnea.

BACKGROUND: Patients with Down syndrome are at a higher risk of developing autoimmune disorders such as thyroiditis, diabetes, and celiac disease compared with the general population. Although some diseases are well known to be associated with Down syndrome, others such as idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis and ischemic stroke due to protein C deficiency remain rare.

BACKGROUND: Elevated plasma cholesterol and/or plasma triglyceride levels in nephrotic syndrome patients are the result of impaired lipoprotein clearance and a compensatory increase in hepatic lipoprotein synthesis. Plasma proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 levels directly correlate to the amount of proteinuria in nephrotic syndrome patients. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 monoclonal antibody has been used to treat dyslipidemia in some refractory nephrotic syndrome cases...
