Kill Two Birds with One Stone: Special Ventricular Arrhythmias and Complex Cardiac Malformation

1. Abstract We are reporting a case of special ventricular arrhythmias from the aortomitral continuity. However, it is difficult to treat with radiofrequency ablation, because the patient also suffered from the complex cardiac malformation (Shone’s complex and double-chambered left ventricle). Staged operations were performed to treat this patient, and the follow-up results showed that the

A Challenging Case of Spontaneous Left Atrial Dissection

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,

Spinning-Induced Exertional Rhabdomyolysis an Increasing Problem in Developed Nation – Can this be Prevented

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).

Sonographic Detection of Small Precursor Lesion of the Pancreas: A Case Report and Literature Review

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

Symptomatic Ectopic Right Common Carotid Artery Stenosis Associated with the Hyoid Bone: A Case Report

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

Crohn’s Disease with the Suspicion of Colon Cancer: A Case Report and Literature Review

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

Diffuse Bone Marrow Involvement of Gastric Cancer Diagnosed by Positron Emission Tomography Computed Tomography

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,

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
