Of the four cardiac valves, the pulmonic valve is the least suspected in most pathologies when one thinks of endocarditis, pulmonary valve is hardly considered. We can call it a “forgotten valve”. Isolated pulmonary valve endocarditis has less than 100 reported cases [1]. We present a case of isolated pulmonary valve endocarditis in a 27-year-old male with past medical history of IVDA, who presented to the hospital with sudden onset of chest pain and shortness of breath.

Pericardial Cysts

Pericardial cysts are an uncommon cause of mediastinal masses and may be found incidentally on imaging. Symptoms commonly include cough, chest pain, and shortness of breath elucidating a broad differential on examination. Diagnosis is predominantly made using imaging modalities, such as CT, MRI, and CXR with treatment including resection for symptomatic cysts and observation for asymptomatic cysts. Due to a lack of specific signs and symptoms towards identifying pericardial cysts, many are identified at a later stage requiring resection by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). We present the rare case of a patient presenting with a sudden onset cough, shortness of breath, and pleuritic chest pain found to have a large pericardial cyst.

Patient Concerns

Introduction: Myoclonic movement is not common side effect after general anaesthesia. Since we use various intravenous agents during general anaesthesia recently, it is troublesome to find out the exact cause of this neurologic complication. Patient concerns: A 28-year-old male patient without any past medical history underwent mandibular cyst enucleation surgery under general anaesthesia. Diagnoses: Sudden myoclonic movement confined to upper trunk and left upper extremity in recovery room after uneventful GA. Outcomes: There was no significant abnormality in electroencephalography or blood tests, which were taken after the event.

History Of

Eruptive lingual papillitis is a common benign disorder manifested by inflammation of fungiform papillae on the dorsolateral surface of the tongue. Several variants of lingual papillitis have been reported since 1997, most or all of them with painful erythematous papules. Here we report a case of 6 years old girl child with non-painful severe variant form of eruptive lingual papillitis presented to the emergency department. The entire dorsal surface of the tongue was surfaced by 2-3mm by multiple erythematous papules and some with a white or yellowish colour. The papules were excessively inflamed, pigmented, aggregated, and crusted. The cause was idiopathic which resolved within ten days. The parent and patient were reassured with advice to practice oral hygiene. This is a rare case report describing non-painful lingual papillitis without a history of any prior episodes.

A 14-month female child came with complain of cholera like watery loose stool 10-12 times and vomiting 6-7 times, 24 hrs before admission. She was in severe dehydration, hypotension, unconscious with no recorded fever during her stay in hospital and no history of contact with COVID-19. Patient was COVID-19 positive Dehydration and hypotension was corrected, metabolic acidosis continued and eventually patient succumb due to multiple organ failure. This case report should arouse us to suspect COVID infection in every acute Gastroenteritis child who may not have any common symptoms as seen in COVID patient, also who have no history of significant contact with COVID positive patient in family. Some people with COVID-19 develop gastrointestinal symptoms either alone or with respiratory symptoms. Recently, researchers at Stanford University found that a third of patients they studied with a mild case of COVID-19 had symptoms affecting the digestive system. Another recent study Trusted Source published by researchers in Beijing found that anywhere from 3 to 79 percent of people with COVID-19 develop gastrointestinal symptoms.

Abdominoperineal excision of rectum (APER) is one of the widely used surgical procedures to treat low rectal cancer, benign conditions like Crohn’s proctitis with anal involvement and as a salvage procedure for anal cancer. Perineal wound infection is a well-recognised complication following such major surgery. Occurrence of appendicitis in a few weeks’ time following such a major surgery is uncommon. However, here we present a rare case report of perforated appendicitis presenting as persistent perineal discharge in an elderly man, following laparoscopic APER for a low rectal tumour. To our knowledge, this is the first time such a rare clinical presentation of appendicitis is reported in the history of medical literature. Through this case report, we aim to highlight the importance of considering such an uncommon presentation in patients with perineal discharge, following APER.

A 52 years lady presented with chest pain and shortness of breath. Chest pain was initially CCS class II and gradually CCS class III. Coronary angiogram reveals triple vessel disease for which she underwent CABG (RSVG to LAD) in December 1999. On January 2003 PTCA with stent (sirolimus - 3 x 15m m) to LCX was done. She again complaints of chest pain after a short symptom less period. Recent coronary angiogram revealed TVD with left main involvement. In this article we will describe a rare case of successful stenting in left main disease.   doi: 10.3329/uhj.v5i1.3441 University Heart Journal Vol. 5, No. 1, January 2009 40-41

Objective. To present a rare case of extensive subcutaneous emphysema and spontaneous pneumomediastinum following ingestion of Ecstasy in a young adult. We also review the relevant literature and discuss how this case supplements it.Case Report. We report a case of a 19-year-old man with a history of painless neck and chest swelling, and no chest pain or breathlessness, after consuming Ecstasy tablets. Radiological imaging showed evidence of pneumomediastinum and extensive subcutaneous emphysema. The patient remained well under observation and his symptoms improved with conservative management.Conclusions. Subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum after Ecstasy ingestion is uncommon. Cases are often referred to the otolaryngologist as they can present with neck and throat symptoms. Our case showed that the severity of symptoms may not correlate with severity of the anatomical abnormality and that pneumomediastinum should be suspected in Ecstasy users who present with neck swelling despite the absence of chest symptoms. Although all cases reported so far resolved with conservative management, it is important to perform simple investigations to exclude coexisting serious pathology.
