Case report: Catastrophic event: neonatal gastric perforation and complication of capillary leak syndrome

Pulmonary Capillary Leak Syndrome

Systemic capillary leak syndrome. Case report.

We here report the case of a patient with systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS). This syndrome is a rare condition characterized by recurrent episodes of hypotension with hemoconcentration and hypoproteinemia. It is due to unexplained episodic capillary hyperpermeabilty that results in fluid and protein shift from the intravascular to the interstitial space: generalized edema, shock and renal...

Trichobezoar Causing Gastric Perforation: A Case Report

Trichobezoars are impactions of swallowed hairs in the stomach and occasionally in the intestine. They occur in emotionally disturbed, depressed, or mentally retarded patients who have trichotillomania and trichophagia. Trichobezoars are usually diagnosed on CT scan or upper GI endoscopy. They can give rise to complications like gastroduodenal ulceration, haemorrhage, perforation, peritonitis, ...

idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome: a case report

conclusions the early signs and symptoms of iscls may be subtle; therefore the diagnosis can easily be missed and prompt treatment of the syndrome may be postponed. thus, the clinician must consider iscls in differential diagnosis in cases of hypotension, hemoconcentration, and hypoalbuminemia. case presentation we present a 58-year-old female who presented with peripheral edema, leg pain, and ...

Idiopathic Systemic Capillary Leak Syndrome: A Case Report

Systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS) is characterized by recurrent hypovolemic shock associated with edema, hemoconcentration and paradoxal hypoprotidemia due to leakage into the interstitial space. We report a new case with cardiac involvement. A 62-year-old man had two recurrent hypovolemic shocks with SCLS's criteria, associated twice with cardiac systolic dysfunction and atrial fibrillat...
