Acute gastric dilatation is a rare entity, with varying aetiologies the majority of which are benign. Delay in diagnosis and treatment could result in sequelae such as gastric emphysema (pneumatosis), emphysematous gastritis, gangrene, and perforation. Gastric emphysema as a result of a benign nongangrenous condition such as gastroparesis, adynamic ileus can be successfully managed conservative...

PURPOSE. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa ocular infection, T-helper cell 1–responsive mouse strains are susceptible (the cornea perforates), and neutralization of IFNbefore infection has been shown to delay the onset of perforation. IFNis the predominant cytokine induced by IL-12, and positive regulation of IL-12 by IFN, if unchecked, leads to excessive cytokine production and toxicity. Despite its p...

Background: Migration of a foreign body to tissues outside the esophagus is rare but potentially lethal condition that requires prompt recognition and management to achieve a favorable outcome. Case report: we report a rare case of cardiac tamponade caused by esophageal perforation after foreign body ingestion in a 48-year-old man. Once the computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a 1.8 cm foreign...

Background: The most common surgical emergency in general surgery is perforation peritonitis. It a serious condition with mortality rate of up to 20%, and it the third cause abdomen after appendicitis intestinal obstruction. aim this study discuss presentation, etiology, management outcome peritonitis our hospital. Methods: 60 patients features admitted from September 2021 August 2022 departmen...

Kyphoplasty is a minimal invasive technique with a low rate of complications. To the best of our knowledge, perforation of gastric wall following kyphoplasty has not been described yet. We present a case that was operated for radical resection of esophageal carcinoma eleven years ago and who underwent kyphoplasty after a recent sixth and seventh thoracic vertebral fracture was diagnosed. Afterw...

Appendicitis is a common and urgent surgical illness with variable manifestations, generous overlap with other clinical syndromes, and significant morbidity, which increases with diagnostic delay. No single sign, symptom, or diagnostic test accurately makes the diagnosis of appendiceal inflammation in all cases. The surgeon’s goals are to evaluate a relatively small population of patients refer...

introduction: pulmonary tuberculosis is major problem worldwide and it is estimated one third the world population are already infected and each year 9 million people develop full blown tuberculosis of these 3 million die of the disease, annually. delay in diagnosis and treatment are major problems that play a significant role in all aspect of the disease from patient treatment to transmission ...

Background: Colonic injury represents a rare complication of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Injury of the small bowel is very rare, with only anecdotal case reports in the literature. We report here a rare PCNL complication of jejunal perforation without concomitant colonic injury. Case Presentation: A 45-year-old male underwent PCNL for multiple left kidney stones. At the beginning of th...

Diagnostic delay frequently occurs in Crohn's disease (CD) patients because of diagnostic limitations. However, diagnostic delay and its related factors remain poorly defined. Therefore, we aimed to identify the predictors associated with diagnostic delay and to evaluate the impact of diagnostic delay on clinical course in a Korean CD patient cohort. We performed a multicenter retrospective ana...

Thanks to Vural and colleagues who reported their interesting case of a misplaced intrauterine device (IUD).1 I would like to mention some points in relation to their letter. With the increased uptake of intrauterine methods2 and the majority of uterine perforations said to occur at the time of device insertion (but go undetected),3 uterine perforation is more frequent than Vural et al.1 sugges...
