Although rare, papillary fibroelastoma (PFE) of the heart valves and atrial myxoma represent the two most common cardiac tumors. Coexistence of these two lesions has been documented in rare case reports. We describe the case of a 77-year-old man who presented with slightly progressive chest pain associated with dyspnea, fatigue and edema of the lungs. Transthoracic echocardiography detected a l...

Papillary glioneuronal tumor (PGNT) is a low-grade biphasic that composed of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-positive cells and synaptophysin-positive neurons. We report case PGNT occurring in the right occipital lobe 48-year-old woman who presented with acute headache left homonymous hemianopsia, latter which was difficult to distinguish from malignant brain tumors because peritumoral e...

Abstract Background There are some limitations using the different sequences of clinical cardiac magnetic resonance (cardiac MR) in detection edema patients presenting with acute myocardial injury. The purpose this study is to evaluate segmental agreement between sequences: T2 mapping and turbo inversion recovery magnitude (TIRM) edema. Results Thirty-seven presented infarction were sent MR ass...

This is the case of an 89-year-old man undergoing emergency endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) for acute cholangitis. However, no en face view of the papilla was obtained after duodenoscope advancement but instead an edematous bulky mass surrounded by a semilunar slit was visible. ▶Fig. 1 a, b depicts the level of the papilla in the short and long axes, providing crescent-like clues to...

Papillary meningioma is a rare subtype of malignant meningiomas, which is classified by the World Health Organization as Grade III. Because of lack of large sample size case studies, many of the specific characteristics of papillary meningioma are unclear. This study investigated by retrospective analysis the clinical, radiological and histopathological findings of 17 papillary meningioma patie...

INTRODUCTION In the absence of acute myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic papillary muscle dysfunction (PMD) is a rare complication of coronary artery disease. Dynamic PMD results in intermittent mitral regurgitation (MR). We present a successfully-treated case of recurrent pulmonary edema due to dynamic PMD secondary to chronic coronary heart disease involving the mitral apparatus. A pathophys...

rinized during the procedure, followed by long-term therapy with clopidogrel. Clinical improvement was immediate, marked by alleviation of headaches, regression of the papillary edema, and a return to normal visual acuity (10/10 right, 9/10 left). In this case angioplastic intervention proved efficacious, and no other surgical or medical treatment was performed. Dear Sir, As the pathogenesis of...

This study reports the case of a 32-year-old female patient with no particular history, treated for myopia since school age. Routine ocular examination showed visual acuity value 10/10, clear cornea, anterior chamber, good depth, with normal iris texture and color and clear lens in both eyes with intraocular pressure 16 mmHg in the right eye and 14 mmHg in the left eye. Fundus examination showe...
