We report an unusual case of intestinal obstruction. The child presented with intermittent abdominal pain. Initial USG abdomen and CT abdomen were inconclusive. Diagnostic laparoscopy followed by Laparotomy was done to remove bezoar made up of a rubber band and thread balls. Iron and zinc deficiencies are the preventable causes of pica. Plasticobezoars are rare and should be suspected when symptoms are not consistent with other common causes of obstruction.

A 65-year-old man had intermittent abdominal pain for the previous 2 years. This pain suddenly became worse with a fever and elevated inflammatory markers. We took a while to diagnose the patient with mesenteric panniculitis (MP). Although imaging findings suggested MP, we needed to rule out other diseases. Choosing a treatment for the patient also took some time and we finally used glucocorticoid to cure the patient.

Uterine lipoleiomyosarcoma is a heterologous sarcoma composed of variable proportions of malignant lipoblasts histologically corresponding to well differentiated liposarcoma and malignant smooth muscle cells corresponding to leiomyosarcoma. Finding of benign lipomatous component in a typical leiomyoma (lipoleiomyoma) is not an uncommon, however, lipoleiomyosarcoma is an extremely rare malignant tumor and only very few cases have been reported so far. We report a case of lipoleiomyosarcoma of uterine corpus in a postmenopausal woman presenting with lower abdominal pain and abdominal mass. Diagnosis of lipoleiomyosarcoma was confirmed by histopathological examination of hysterectomy specimen. This is the first case of lipoleiomyosarcoma of uterus reported from Nepal. Keywords: Lipoleiomyosarcoma, uterus, histopathology, unusual case.   doi:10.3126/njog.v2i1.1482    N. J. Obstet. Gynaecol Vol. 2, No. 1, p. 67 - 70 May -June 2007

Fecal Microbiota

Abstract A 62-year-old man presented to our department with repeated vomiting, abdominal pain, bloating, and constipation. Echocardiography and computed tomography revealed his thickened pericardium with multiple eggshell-like calcifications, and incomplete intestinal obstruction. Colonoscopy showed extensive focal erosions in the colonic mucosa. After fecal microbiota transplantation, the patient's nutritional status was improved, intestinal obstruction was relieved, and his cardiac function his was restored. This case may provide a new option for the treatment of refractory incomplete intestinal obstruction.

Suspected Diagnosis

Acute cecal appendicitis and appendagitis are two entities due to the inflammation of the cecal and epiploic appendix respectively. A case of a 34-year-old woman is presented, who is admitted for abdominal pain. Initial blood test and ultrasonography were not conclusive, subsequently with clinical deterioration, surgical intervention was required which noted acute appendicitis and appendicitis that were removed. This is an extremely unusual case, since the simultaneous presentation of these two entities has not been widely described and demonstrates the importance of exploring the abdominal and pelvic cavity in patients with suspected diagnosis of acute appendicitis.

Common Causes

Ovarian cysts are common causes of lower abdominal pain and abdominal distention in females. While most of them are benign and rarely grow immensely to achieve a huge size, they may be neoplastic in origin, reaching enormous dimensions with minimum or without raising any symptoms.Here, we present an interesting case of a 19-year-old female,who presented with huge abdominal swelling and pain in whole abdomen from whom a 9.1 kg borderline mucinous ovarian cyst, occupying the whole abdominal cavity was removed.

AbstractObjective:We report an unusual case of dizziness caused by carbon monoxide poisoning.Case report:A 55-year-old man was referred to an ENT surgeon with dizziness. The patient described vague, non-specific symptoms not consistent with a diagnosis of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, labyrinthitis or Ménière's disease. It emerged later that the patient had been suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning from a leaky gas hot water boiler in his house. After having the boiler fixed, the patient's symptoms completely resolved.Conclusion:When the more common causes of dizziness cannot be found, less common but important differential diagnoses, such as carbon monoxide poisoning, should be considered.

Abstract We report the case of a 63-year-old patient with a low-velocity abdominal trauma and bowel perforation. The patient slipped on a wet floor and fell down the stairs. On admission, the patient complained about abdominal pain. A computed tomography scan showed traumatic hematoma of the jejunum in the left upper quadrant and a small amount of intra-abdominal air. Also rib fractures on the left side were diagnosed. We performed a diagnostic laparoscopy and found a bowel perforation, which was manually repaired.
