A 27-year-old woman presented to the clinic with well-demarcated symmetrical dry gangrene of all the toes. The onset was insidious during recent hospitalization for urosepsis and shock. There is no antecedent history of peripheral ischemia, use of oral contraceptive pill, or smoking. Her medical history is significant for hypertension and preeclampsia. Dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial pulses...

Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis is often confused with symmetrical Brodie's abscess as it has a similar pathogenesis. We report an otherwise healthy 17-year-old boy presenting with a true symmetrical Brodie's abscess. We conclude that a symmetrical Brodie's abscess presenting in an otherwise healthy patient is a separate clinical condition with a different management protocol.

Ocular movements, cover test, and visual fields to confrontation were all normal. Pupils were equal and active, but showed some corectopia upwards and nasally. The left eye was markedly hypermetropic, but disc and macula were both normal, and examination of the rest of the fundus at this stage revealed no abnormality which might account for the poor visual acuity. The right cornea had an extens...

Acoustic waves are mechanical waves recently used to activate tissue metabolism by exploiting the cell permeabilization caused by their passage. We report a case of a retroauricular lipoma in a 44-year-old woman affected by multiple symmetric lipomatosis and treated with extracorporeal acoustic wave therapy. The adipose thickness of the lipoma was reduced from 35.8 to 21 mm, with increased soft...
