Case Report

1. Introduction Left Atrial Dissection (LAD) is defined as a false, blood-filled cavity or lumen expanding from the mitral annular area to the left atrial free wall or interatrial septum. The cavity is located between the endocardium and the epicardium of the left atrium, causing the obliteration of the left atrium and possibly hemodynamic instability, […]

1. Introduction Spinning-induced Exertional Rhabdomyolysis is an increasing problem in developed nation. Spin class can predispose to exertional rhabdomyolysis. We describe a young patient with Spinning- induced Exertional Rhabdomyolysis (SER).

1. Abstract Pancreatic Cancer (PC) remains consistently one of the leading causes of cancer-related death, with a poor 5-year survival rate of less than 10 %. However, if PC is detected in the early stage, a favorable outcome is expected. Accurate detection of small PCs or precursor lesions is clinically very important. Pancreatic Intraepithelial Neoplasia

1. Abstract 1.1. Background: Ectopic carotid artery is a rare vascular malformation in which the vast majority of patients are asymptomatic. Most cases are discovered during physical examination. Symptomatic cases of severe ectopic carotid stenosis are rarely reported. Here, we present the effective surgical treatment of a rare case of an ectopic right common carotid

1. Abstract 1.1. Background: Crohn’s Disease (CD) and colon cancer have many similarities in imaging. However, treatments for the two entities are vastly different, making proper diagnosis critical in the clinic. This case is an atypical Crohn’s disease, which was misdiagnosed as colon cancer. We reviewed a lot of related literature and found almost no

1. Abstract Bone metastases from gastric adenocarcinoma are rare, accounting for less than 2% of cases. Bone marrow (BM) metastases are even less frequent. For those patients suspected for bone and bone marrow metastases, a biopsy is normally the method of choice for diagnosis. In our case, bone and BM metastases were diagnosed using PET-CT,

1. Abstract We present a Case Report of a 15-year-old African-American female with C6 deficiency due to compound heterozygous C6 mutations and a novel C6 mutation.

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

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

1. Abstract 1.1. Background: A lymphoepithelial cyst of the pancreas is a rare benign lesion that is difficult to diagnose preoperatively and challenging in distinguishing from potentially malignant cystic pancreatic neoplasms. A diagnostic step-up approach is recommended to clarify the lesion’s dignity and specify a treatment plan.
