Hepatic tuberculosis masquerading as cholangiocarcinoma: an unusual differential for a liver mass
AbstractA 54-year-old woman presented with an incidentally identified asymptomatic liver lesion with imaging characteristics suspicious for malignancy. She underwent a left hemihepatectomy for presumed cholangiocarcinoma. Histopathology revealed granulomas with microbiological investigations later revealing a diagnosis of isolated hepatic tuberculosis. There were no pulmonary or other disease sites identified. The patient has been medically managed for primary hepatic tuberculosis and remains well...

Traumatic thoracolumbar fracture–dislocation in an infant: surgical management using posterior thoracolumbar instrumentation
AbstractSpinal fracture–dislocation in the infantile population is a rare phenomenon, and its surgical management remains poorly discussed in the literature. This article reports a case of traumatic fracture–dislocation in an infant by outlining the surgical management and extensively reviewing the literature. An 8-month-old girl was involved in a motor vehicle accident and was ejected from the car through the windshield. Radiological imaging demonstrated a complete spinal cord injury at the level...

Brunner’s glands hamartoma with pylorus obstruction: a case report and review of literature
AbstractProliferative lesions of the Brunner’s glands are uncommonly encountered lesions of the small intestine, originating from the deeply seated mucosal and submucosal Brunner’s glands, mainly in the duodenum. The vast majorities of these lesions are benign and include Brunner’s glands hyperplasia (adenomas/nodules) and hamartomas. The etiology and pathogenesis of these lesions are not fully understood, and the diagnosis can sometimes be challenging. We report a case of Brunner’s gland hamartoma...

A case of pyometra with a colouterine fistula due to rectal cancer presenting as acute abdomen
AbstractPyometra usually develops in elderly women, and it can be caused by various etiologies. We describe a rare case of pyometra with a colouterine fistula due to rectal cancer presenting as acute abdomen. A 67-year-old woman with purulent vaginal discharge and abdominal distension was referred to our hospital for suspected pyometra. Because the vaginal echogram showed pyometra at her initial medical examination, drainage was performed. Her symptoms subsequently disappeared temporarily, but 4 months...

Facing a dilemma in the treatment of an internal mammary artery mycotic pseudoaneurysm: coil embolization or surgery? A case report and brief literature review
AbstractWhile aneurysms of the internal mammary artery (IMA) complicate occasionally surgical procedures employing median sternotomy, or are associated with direct thoracic trauma, mycotic pseudoaneurysms of the vessel are rarely reported in the literature. We herein report a case of a 22-year-old man who developed a mycotic internal mammary artery pseudoaneurysm secondary to staphylococcal chest wall abscesses and was effectively treated by coil embolization. Additionally, the report provides a...

Small bowel necrosis and perforation due to sodium polystyrene sulfonate in the setting of graft versus host disease and fulminant Clostridium difficile infection
AbstractGastrointestinal injury is a common adverse event associated with use of sodium polystyrene sulfonate (SPS), tradename Kayexalate. Risk factors for SPS-mediated gastrointestinal necrosis include chronic kidney disease, solid organ transplant recipiency and recent surgery. This report presents a patient with past medical history significant for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) complicated by graft versus host disease (GvHD) and Clostridium difficile colitis who initially presented with small bowel...

Treatment of type II odontoid fracture in the elderly
AbstractOdontoid fractures constitute the commonest cervical spinal fracture in the elderly. There are varied management approaches with paucity of robust evidence to guide decision-making. We review the case of a 92-years-old man with traumatic Grauer type II B odontoid fracture treated with anterior cannulated screw fixation. Postoperatively, he was noted to have dysphagia due to a zenker’s diverticulum. Further history revealed repair of a zenker’s diverticulum ~40 years prior. Cervical spine...

Giant lymphatic malformation causing abdominal compartment syndrome in a neonate: a rare surgical emergency
AbstractAbdominal lymphatic malformations in neonates require sophisticated management. In symptomatic cases, acute complications may necessitate immediate surgery. We present the case of a giant abdominal lymphatic malformation diagnosed in the 18th gestational week. Sonographic concerns about intestinal hypoperfusion in the 33rd week of gestation indicated caesarean section. Postnatal imaging confirmed a macrocystic lymphatic malformation occupying almost the complete abdominal cavity; the intestinal...

Gastric perforation resulting into pneumoperitoneum in a neonate: a case report
AbstractGastric perforation in a neonate is a rare surgical emergency in routine practice. The causes and predisposing factors for gastric perforation in a neonate vary from traumatic to benign conditions like inflammatory processes. Early detection, intensive care, stabilization and prompt surgery yield positive outcome. Early diagnosis is important for better prognosis. Simple investigation such as plain abdominal X-ray can adequately lead to the diagnosis by showing pneumoperinoneum. We present...

Single-session, dual-site robotic surgery for synchronous primary malignancies of the oropharynx and thorax
AbstractSingle-session, dual-site robotic surgery for synchronous malignancies is not widely reported. To our knowledge, there are no previous reports of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) in a single sitting. A 49-year-old male presented with a neck lump. Biopsies and imaging proved synchronous primaries of the tonsil and lung. The morbidity of primary dual-site chemoradiotherapy, or open surgery, presented a management challenge. We therefore opted for sequential...
