Rare Case of Buerger’s Disease with Acute Fulminant Progression to Digital Ischaemia Despite Aggressive Medical Treatment
1. Abstract Buerger’s disease, also known as thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO), is a non-atherosclerotic, segmental inflammatory disease affecting small to medium-sized arteries and veins in the limbs. It is a rare disease seen mostly in young male smokers below 45 years of age. Disease course is typically gradual, progressing from claudication symptoms to rest pain eventually

Inter Aortic-Caval Paraganglioma Simulating a Pancreatic Mass
1. Summary Paraganglioma is a tumor that develops from clusters of neuroendocrine cells located along the vascular and nervous axes called paraganglia. They are present in different locations: the thorax (posterior mediastinum), the abdomen (in the vicinity of the large blood vessels; aorta and vena cava) [1]. Some paragangliomas are secreting, most often catecholamines. They

Solid Pseudopapillary Tumour of the Pancreas, a Chameleon-like Tumour? High CD138 Expression by a Pseudopapillary and Solid Tumour of the Pancreas Simulating a Plasmacytoma
1. Abstract Solid Pseudopapillary Tumour of the Pancreas (SPTP) is an uncommon tumour that occurs mainly in young women. Its aetiology is unknown with a low potential for malignancy. Its diagnosis is most often difficult by biopsy. Imaging data associated with epidemiological data should be sufficient to conjure up its diagnosis. We report the case
A Rare Case of Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM) after Plasmodium Falciparum Infection
1. Abstract Malaria infections have a wide array of both acute and chronic neu- rologic presentations that can create unclear clinical pictures, espe- cially when presenting in a region with low malaria prevalence.1 Neurological complications for the pediatric population can be devastating if not correctly identified and promptly treated.
