INTRODUCTION Intestinal malrotation is a condition, which is predominantly recognised in childhood. Because of the relative rarity, there is a possibility that it can be missed in the routine clinical care of adults. This case highlights the need for a high index of suspicion for malrotation when things go wrong in routine procedures. This can be the reason for catastrophic sepsis in patients w...

Abstract Invasive mold infections (IMIs) are difficult to diagnose. This analysis of histopathologically proven IMIs at our institution (2010–2019) showed that 11/41 (27%) them were not suspected the time biopsy/autopsy (9/17, 53% among autopsies). The rate missed diagnosis was particularly high (8/16, 50%) nonhematologic cancer patients.

Salter Harris–type injuries of the distal femur should be treated as a dislocation of the knee and therefore as a medical emergency. Senior medical staff should be involved early, ankle–brachial index ratio should be measured in all patients and the clinician should have a high index of suspicion for a vascular injury. Ideally reduction, stabilization, and vascular repair, if necessary, should ...

A case of pheochromocytoma of the bladder is presented with a r eview of the literature. We discuss general management principles of bladder pheochromocytoma. Successful diagnosis and treatment of this lesion requires a high index of suspicion based upon the patient's symptom complex, allowing preoperative preparation prior to surgical treatment.

introduction foreign body aspiration is common especially in children. the absence of history of choking does not rule out the diagnosis. diagnosis required high index of suspicion. case presentation undiagnosed foreign body aspiration mostly occurs in bronchial airway rather than larynx and can cause severe complications. in this article, we report a silent laryngeal foreign body aspiration to...
