Although gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare tumors, they are the most common tumors of mesenchymal origin of the gastrointestinal tract. GISTs present with nonspecific clinical manifestation and they are discovered incidentally during endoscopic or radiological investigations. Massive life-threatening bleeding that requires urgent surgery is rare. We present a case of small bowel GIST that presented with massive lower gastrointestinal bleeding that required urgent surgical intervention.

Intragastric balloons have gained popularity in the management of morbid obesity. Although the procedure of insertion is easy and is generally accepted by patients, a few complications can occur. We report a case of small bowel obstruction caused by spontaneous deflation and forced passage of an air-filled intragastric balloon into the small bowel.

Skull bone realignment and fixation using glue is a simple, safe, and inexpensive method. The operative procedure was not prolonged. Good cosmetic appearance and realignment and fusion of the bone flap were achieved. Further neuroimaging methods are not prohibited. Glue is suitable for the growing skull of children. Glue is also suitable in compound depressed fractures of the skull with possibility of infection.

Cecal volvulus (CV) is a rare cause of acute intestinal obstruction caused by torsion or twisting of a mobile cecum and ascending colon. Early diagnosis and management are essential to prevent serious complications such as bowel gangrene, cecal perforation, and generalized peritonitis. We report a case of cecal volvulus with impending cecal perforation.

The stomach is the most common site of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), representing 60% to 70% of all GIST tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Gastric GISTs are usually asymptomatic discovered incidentally during endoscopic or radiological investigations. A small percentage may present with melena, hematemesis, and anemia due to recurrent bleeding. We report a case of a giant gastric GIST presented with anemia, that successfully treated with laparoscopic resection.
