Atrial fibrillation is an irregular heart rhythm with increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Commonly due to thromboembolism at the left atrial appendage. Guideline therapy for atrial fibrillation is anticoagulation. Alternative treatment includes closure with the Watchman device. We present a case of Watchman device-related thrombus seven months after placement.

This case report describes a patient with non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia that developed due to diabetic ketoacidosis. We believe that early diagnosis and intervention may improve the prognosis of non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia that has low vascular risk, with the major risk factor being dehydration due to diabetic ketoacidosis.

Soft tissue malignant tumours of the foot and ankle are rare. Diagnostic imaging and interventional biopsy are vital to establish the nature and grading of a suspicious tumour prior to surgical intervention.

Chikungunya is an arboviral disease caused by a virus with wide geographical distribution in endemic areas. This case report documents a patient with Antisynthetase Syndrome post-chikungunya infection. Autoimmune diseases result from breakdown of immune tolerance. Among all triggers, viruses represent the greatest environmental potential to precipitate inflammatory myopathy.

Porokeratotic adnexal ostial nevus (PAON) is a term encompassing porokeratotic eccrine ostial and dermal duct naevus (PEODDN) and porokeratotic eccrine and hair follicle naevus (PEHFN). We present the case of a seven-year-old girl who presented with hyperkeratotic verrucous papules in a blaschkolinear distribution on the sole of her left foot.

This case report describes a patient in the ICU in need of urgent intubation, for whom video laryngoscope-guided intubation had previously failed. The Infrared Red Intubation System may enhance the chance of successful flexible bronchoscope intubation, especially when performed by non-experts in hospitals without ear, nose and throat surgical backup.

Atraumatic convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage (cSAH) is a rare non-aneurysmal SAH, commonly due to ipsilateral internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis. It is unusual for the cSAH to occur contralaterally to the infarct. We report two cases of acute ischemic stroke associated with contralateral and ipsilateral cSAH that had different presentations.

There are many challenges that can arise while providing home care to a terminally ill patient. Isolation of infected patients was used to prevent COVID-19 infection. In home care, where informal caregivers play an important role, such measures could result in the loss of caregivers.

Bell's palsy in pregnancy is not frequently seen. The association of preeclampsia with Bell's palsy is reported in the research, however, the exact link between Bell's palsy and preeclampsia is unknown. The treatment of Bell's palsy during the pregnancy is difficult and controversial.

Congenital cutaneous candidiasis is a rare and usually benign disorder that develops within the first week of life. We report a preterm neonate with skin diffuse maculopapular lesions at birth. Candida Albicans was isolated from skin and gastrointestinal fluid culture. Antifungal treatment was initiated with skin lesions resolution.

Granuloma annulare (GA) is a benign skin granulomatous, with, usually, unknown cause. Few challenging cases of GA have been reported in the literature mimicking sarcoidosis. We describe a rare clinical presentation of GA mimicking cutaneous sarcoidosis.

Methanol poisoning is a challenging clinical situation with irreversible neurologic complication mainly encountered in developed countries. We report a case of a 50-year-old patient who presented with methanol poisoning, symptomatic of respiratory and neurologic failure. In this context, cerebral magnetic resonance imaging concluded entangled injury mechanisms leading to neurologic failure.

Ellis--van Creveld syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder. We describe the case of a 7-year-old girl with Ellis--van Creveld Syndrome with the diagnosis of common atrium and partial atrioventricular septal defect. She underwent a successful surgical repair, and intraoperatively, a double orifice mitral valve was diagnosed as well.

Infection of urachal remnant may cause recurrent abscesses. In the current case report, we describe an urachal remnant infection leading to a retroperitoneal abscess, which is extremely rare condition. In such cases, the recommended treatment is urachal remnant resection.

Seborrheic keratosis is a common benign epidermal tumor occurring in patients aged over 50 years. It is located preferentially in the trunk, head and neck. The genital location is rare. We report a case of 59 year-old-men presenting a seborrheic keratosis of the pubis.

Pityriasis rosea is a common, acute, self limiting inflammatory skin disease. Pityriasis rosea-like eruptions (PR-LE) have been reported after drugs. The clinical presentation of PR-LE can be distinguished from pityriasis rosea. We reporte a 41-year-old woman who developed PR-LE 5 days after administration domperidone.

Multiple sclerosis is a disease that affects the central nervous system, resulting in a variety of symptoms such as vision , physical activity and stability .Central positional vertigo as an initial multiple sclerosis symptoms is a rare case in the literature.
