INTRODUCTION: Diabetes mellitus is a disease with diverse macrovascular and microvascular consequences. One of the unusual effects of hyperglycemia is involuntary movement, termed hyperglycemia-induced involuntary movement. This could range from hemibalismus, chorea, choreo-atethosis, tremors to dystonia. Chorea associated with dystonia is a less commonly reported manifestation. When it is focal, it can be misdiagnosed as stroke or seizure disorder. To the best our knowledge, there is hitherto no case report in sub-Saharan Africa describing the occurrence of focal choreo-dystonia in type 2 Diabetes Mellitus...

INTRODUCTION: Patient safety in primary care setting is important and effort geared towards this cannot be over-emphasised. Patient safety can be achieved through various means, but one mechanism to improve patient safety in resourceconstrained settings is through a practice known as safety netting. Safety netting is widely recommended in national guidelines with varying definitions and scope; hence there is no consensus on when safety netting should be used and what should be the content...

BACKGROUND: The surgical condition termed hydrocoele of the canal of Nuck is one of the rarest clinical entities in the female group. It occurs due to the failure of obliteration of the derivative of the peritoneum, the processus vaginalis. It usually presents with painless inguinal swellings and is sometimes associated with features of intestinal obstruction if there is hernia coexisting with it that has become obstructed. Abdominopelvic ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging provide the basis for diagnosis, where these imaging modalities are available...

INTRODUCTION: There has been an upsurge in the reporting of cases of Left Ventricular Noncompaction (LVNC) cardiomyopathy in medical literature in the last 35 years due to advances in medical imaging.The condition was first described in 1926 and the first reported case by echocardiography was in 1984. The American Heart Association considers LVNC a primary cardiomyopathy of genetic origin, while the European Society of Cardiology and the World Health Organization grouped it as an unclassified cardiomyopathy...

INTRODUCTION: Colonic volvulus is a common cause of large bowel obstruction with the sigmoid colon most commonly affected. Volvulus of the transverse colon is an uncommon occurrence. Rarer still is a transverse colon volvulus developing after surgery for a sigmoid colon volvulus. Early diagnosis is critical as delay in detection and intervention is associated with the risk of complications - perforation, peritonitis, and death. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of an 86-year-old man who presented with features of large bowel obstruction 14 months following a sigmoid colectomy for a sigmoid colon volvulus...

This syndrome caused majorly by a vascular insult to the ventromedial midbrain, characteristically presents with ipsilateral third cranial nerve palsy and contralateral hemiataxia. It is a rare syndrome and only a few cases have been reported since 1912 when it was first described by Henri Claude...
