Concomitant acute transverse myelitis (ATM) and Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is described as GBS and ATM overlap. Its presentation varies greatly, thus making the diagnosis difficult. Overlap syndrome is more commonly associated with acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN) subtype of GBS. However, we present a case of a middle-aged gentleman with combined ATM and acute motor and sensory axonal neuropathy (AMSAN) subtype of GBS. This combination is quite rare, and only a few cases have been reported so far.
Pancreatic cysts are common in adults but rarely seen in children. Out of those seen in children, the majority are pseudocysts. This article presents a unique case of a child diagnosed with a true congenital pancreatic cyst which was ultimately excised completely.
Precursor B-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma, a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, is common in children. It is mostly extranodal; skin, bone and soft tissue are more often involved. However, isolated peritoneal presentation is rare. In this article a unique pediatric case of isolated omental precursor B-cell lymphobastic lymphoma is presented.
Central pontine myelinolysis is a rare condition arising from the myelinolysis of white matter tracts in the pons, most commonly in response to iatrogenic hypertonic stress caused by the rapid correction of hyponatremia. Here, we present an interesting case of central pontine myelinolysis subsequent to normal saline infusion despite strict adherence to the guideline protocol.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
