Pulmonary artery catheters use remain invaluable in continuous invasive hemodynamic monitoring for patients with severe cardiopulmonary dysfunction and those undergoing major cardiac surgeries. It detects guides treatment decisions. Its utilization has declined due to common complications associated its insertion. This article highlights a rare, rather an important complication of pulmonary catheter knotting reviews techniques management. Prompt recognition this rare by the clinicians allow...
Acute limb ischemia (ALI) in neonates is a rare but critical condition often resulting from iatrogenic causes, such as arterial catheterization. This case highlights the unique challenges diagnosing and managing ALI this population, where evidence-based guidelines are scarce treatment decisions rely heavily on expert consensus extrapolation adult data. We report of premature neonate, born at 30 weeks' gestation, who developed secondary to femoral artery thrombosis following line insertion....
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the colon is an extremely rare pathologic entity, accounting for less than 1 % all colorectal cancer cases. They tend to be very aggressive with poor outcomes and treatment strategies are still controversial due paucity data available guide management. A case a cecal mass metastatic liver lesions. Initially diagnosed as adenocarcinoma, patient underwent resection metastasectomy. Despite achieving negative surgical margins undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy,...
Several associations have been made between COVID-19 and vasculitis. Recent data also shows the prevalence association of de novo vasculitis with either infection or post vaccination. In this article, we present case new-onset leukocytoclastic vasculitis, secondary to vaccination, that was complicated by severe infected nonhealing ulcers in lower extremities. Case A 53-year-old male patient presented dermatology clinics a three-week history painful necrotic patches coalescent lateral...
Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), also known as NF2-related schwannomatosis (SWN), is a rare dominantly inherited genetic disorder mainly characterized by the presence of vestibular schwannomas (VSs) in addition to range other tumors that affect both central and peripheral nervous systems. These include cranial, spinal, nerve, intradermal schwannomas, cranial spinal meningiomas, intrinsic system (CNS) tumors, usually ependymomas. Juvenile cataracts are common patients with NF2, most symptoms...
The feasibility of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in initially node-positive patients is still controversial. We aim to evaluate the oncologic outcomes SLNB NACT and further compare results between those who were node-negative node-positive.
Mesenchymal hamartomas of the chest wall are rare lesions usually detected incidentally in neonatal and pediatric populations. Despite having a rather alarming appearance on imaging, these generally benign carry virtually no risk malignant transformation. Thus, management is primarily conservative for asymptomatic while surgical resection reserved more severe symptomatic cases. Herein, we report our experience prenatal detection large mesenchymal hamartoma at gestational week 33 subsequent...
Abstract Indirect and extraperitoneal penetrating liver injury is an extremely uncommon phenomenon. In this report, we highlight the case of 18-year-old male patient that sustained a gunshot wound with entry site through right buttock landed in liver. He presented to us sepsis due developing hepatic abscess at dislodged bullet was confirmed computed tomography. Interestingly, ballistic missile did not cause any visceral its indirect trajectory. The underwent diagnostic laparoscopy, where...
Injuries of the biliary tract and complex injuries involving vascular parenchymal tissue can be detrimental despite improved use laparoscopy. Complex are variable depending on type injury as well patient surgeon factors. We present four cases at our tertiary referral center with hepatobiliary expertise: stenosis obstruction, double duct system anatomy, combined right hepatic arterial transection injury, a complete pedicle injury. Early identification specialized repair is essential to...
Abstract Purpose: Hemorrhoids are a common etiology of anal discomfort affecting up to half the population. Treatment hemorrhoids is variable; choice treatment dependent on their grading. Surgical excision via conventional hemorrhoidectomy (CH) remains gold standard for high grade hemorrhoids. Transanal hemorrhoidal dearterialization (THD) less painful alternative CH but associated with higher recurrence rates. A hybrid procedure has been recently adopted at American University Beirut...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) constitutes most of primary liver cancers. HCC invading the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is considered a rare entity with limited reports in literature. Management can either be palliative or curative such as transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) followed by definitive resection. Here, we present case direct invasion GIT that was managed surgical resection.A 74-year-old male history mass, found to have HCC. Admitted for medical optimization prior resection,...
