Case Report: Tuberculous Uveitis, Erythema Induratum, and Persistent Genital Warts in a Female Patient: A Rare Case Report |
|
Mohammad Mahdi Majzoobi, Siamak Akbarzadeh, Golnoush Ebrahimi, Hamid Reza Ghasemibasir, Pedram Alirezaei Adv Biomed Res 2019, 8:70 (27 November 2019) DOI:10.4103/abr.abr_154_19 PMID:31897408
Uveitis and erythema induratum are two uncommon extrapulmonary manifestations of tuberculosis (TB). In most circumstances, we cannot isolate mycobacterium from those sites, so diagnosis is difficult. In the presented case, panuveitis, erythema induratum, and persistent anogenital warts were found concurrently in a 19-year-old girl who had a history of pulmonary TB 10 years ago. Assessment of her immune condition ruled out any immunodeficiency state. Extrapulmonary TB and persistent warts responded dramatically to anti-TB drugs and interferon-gamma, respectively. Our case reveals that a constellation of these clinical manifestations may also occur in immunocompetent individuals.

Case Report: Successful Myomectomy in the Second Trimester of Pregnancy |
|
Zahra Allameh, Tajossadat Allameh Adv Biomed Res 2019, 8:60 (30 September 2019) DOI:10.4103/abr.abr_236_18 PMID:31673533
The prevalence of uterine myomas during pregnancy is estimated to be small. However, a significant fraction of these could lead to pregnancy complications. Myomectomy is rarely performed during pregnancy because of fear of miscarriage and the risk of uncontrolled hemorrhage necessitating hysterectomy. This article reports on a case of myomectomy of subserous leiomyoma that was causing septic necrosis, leukocytosis, rise of inflammatory markers (erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein), and pressure symptom on the liver. Myomectomy was performed at 20 weeks of gestation. The pregnancy continued with no further problems, and at 39 weeks and 1 day of gestation, vaginal delivery resulted in a healthy baby. It is postulated that when myomectomy is performed in carefully selected patients, it prevents sepsis due to myoma torsion and necrosis and also protects surrounding organs against damage.

Case Report: Surprisingly, the Result of an Unplanned Pregnancy after Cranial Radiotherapy: A Case Report (Successful Childbirth after Brain Astrocytoma) |
|
Azar Danesh Shahraki, Leila Mousavi, Amirreza Farhadian Dehkordi Adv Biomed Res 2019, 8:54 (23 September 2019) DOI:10.4103/abr.abr_51_19 PMID:31673527
The present study aimed to present a rare case of successful pregnancy within 6 months from cranial mass surgery and postsurgical radiotherapy. A 32-year-old female with gestational age of 19 weeks had been refereed with a past medical history of recently treated brain astrocytoma. Close obstetric monitoring had been planned; the pregnancy was complicated with severe preeclampsia at the gestational age of 36 weeks, which leads to successful delivery. Pregnancy in patients with a history of cancer has been the focus of studies today and in many cancers it is recommended to delay pregnancy for at least 2 years. The prognosis of such a patient after unplanned pregnancy conception could be more complex; and the present case report aimed to explain about it. The goal of this presentation was to emphasis on the possibility of fertility preservation in the patient with malignancy even after cranial mass surgery and radiotherapy.

Case Report: A Case of Mayer–Rokitansky–Küster–Hauser Syndrome with a Fused Pancake-shaped Pelvic Kidney |
|
Ali Reza Eftekhari Moghadam, Ghasem Saki, Mahin Taheri Moghadam, Seyed Mohamad Hossein Mohseni, Vajieh Heidari, Mohammad Hossein Jamshidi Adv Biomed Res 2019, 8:35 (27 May 2019) DOI:10.4103/abr.abr_97_18 PMID:31259164
Mayer–Rokitansky–Küster–Hauser (MRKH) Syndrome is a female reproductive system disorder. It is characterized by a defect in the Müllerian ducts development, and it causes the absence of the uterus in variable degrees in upper vaginal hypoplasia. In addition, it is often associated with the unilateral renal dysplasia. Müllerian agenesis affects 1 in 4500 newborn girls and is considered as a sporadic anomaly. Women with MRKH Syndrome have a normal female chromosome pattern 46, XX with normal ovarian function. The presence of bilateral kidney agenesis with a pelvic pancake-shaped kidney is a rare condition, and a few cases have been reported in medical journals. This case study focuses on a case of MRKH Syndrome with bilateral renal agenesis and a pancake-shaped kidney.

Case Report: Report of a hydatid cyst case with biceps brachii involvement |
|
Hassan Salehi, Kiarash Salimi Boroujeni, Shoeleh Yaghoubi Adv Biomed Res 2019, 8:23 (28 March 2019) DOI:10.4103/2277-9175.255134 PMID:31008089
Muscular hydatid cyst is a rare condition mainly secondary to the cysts from other organs. We hereby present an uncommon case of primary hydatid cyst found in the right biceps brachii muscle of a 36-year-old male. Magnetic resonance revealed no Echinococcus involvement in any other part of his body. Chest X-ray was normal, and no trace of cyst was found in the lung. In areas where echinococcosis is endemic, any tumor or mass in any part of the patient's body should be evaluated and examined for Echinococcus infestation. This paper is the second case report article on echinococcal biceps brachii infestation existing to this date.

Case Report: Report of a Coarctation of Aorta Stenting in an Infant |
|
Mehdi Ghaderian, Mohammad Reza Sabri Adv Biomed Res 2019, 8:10 (31 January 2019) DOI:10.4103/2277-9175.251215 PMID:30820431
Coarctation of aorta (CoA) is a congenital heart disease that can lead to heart failure during infancy and neonatal period. Several treatments have been proposed for this disease, including surgery and balloon angioplasty. The experiences of using stents in small infants or neonatal patients are very low. In this article, we report a 3 months old age infant who after balloon angioplasty, his CoA symptoms had return and stenting of CoA was performed for him.
