A Rare Presentation of Menetrier's Disease as Gastroduodenal Intussusception.

ABSTRACT: Ménétrier's disease is a rare cause of hypertrophic gastropathy that is usually confined to the gastric body and fundus. It is characterized by giant rugae, hypoalbuminemia, and foveolar hyperplasia. Here we report the case of a 26-year-old woman who presented with epigastric pain, postparandial nausea-vomiting, and weight loss. Paraclinic evaluation revealed hypoalbuminemia and hypochromic microcytic anemia. Gastroscopy and barium meal study showed diffuse polypoid, nodular lesions that affected the entire stomach, invaginating into the duodenum, leading to partial duodenal obstruction. The histologic, radiologic and endoscopic findings fulfilled the diagnosis of Ménétrier's disease. To the best of our knowledge, gastroduodenal intussusception by Ménétrier's disease has been rarely described in the literature.

Contribution of rare variant associations to neurodegenerative disease presentation.

Project description:Genetic factors contribute to neurodegenerative diseases, with high heritability estimates across diagnoses; however, a large portion of the genetic influence remains poorly understood. Many previous studies have attempted to fill the gaps by performing linkage analyses and association studies in individual disease cohorts, but have failed to consider the clinical and pathological overlap observed across neurodegenerative diseases and the potential for genetic overlap between the phenotypes. Here, we leveraged rare variant association analyses (RVAAs) to elucidate the genetic overlap among multiple neurodegenerative diagnoses, including Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, frontotemporal dementia (FTD), mild cognitive impairment, and Parkinson's disease (PD), as well as cerebrovascular disease, using the data generated with a custom-designed neurodegenerative disease gene panel in the Ontario Neurodegenerative Disease Research Initiative (ONDRI). As expected, only ~3% of ONDRI participants harboured a monogenic variant likely driving their disease presentation. Yet, when genes were binned based on previous disease associations, we observed an enrichment of putative loss of function variants in PD genes across all ONDRI cohorts. Further, individual gene-based RVAA identified significant enrichment of rare, nonsynonymous variants in PARK2 in the FTD cohort, and in NOTCH3 in the PD cohort. The results indicate that there may be greater heterogeneity in the genetic factors contributing to neurodegeneration than previously appreciated. Although the mechanisms by which these genes contribute to disease presentation must be further explored, we hypothesize they may be a result of rare variants of moderate phenotypic effect contributing to overlapping pathology and clinical features observed across neurodegenerative diagnoses.

Subcutaneous sarcoidosis with thoracic involvement: A very rare presentation of the disease.

Project description:Subcutaneous sarcoidosis is a very rare manifestation of sarcoidosis and its association with parenchymal lung involvement is rarer. We report the twentieth case in the literature published on PubMed. It is the case of a 61-year-old caucasian, non-smoker lady, who presented to a dermatology department with a 7-month history of asthenia, anorexia, weight loss, fever, exertion dyspnea, dry cough, arthralgia of the large joints and non-tender multiple subcutaneous tumefactions. Biopsy of the nodules established the diagnosis of subcutaneous sarcoidosis. Bronchioloalveolar lavage revealed alveolitis with lymphocyte predominance and the CD4/CD8 ratio was 8.5. Chest computed tomography scan revealed peribronchovascular thickening, micronodules of lymphatic distribution and mediastinal lymphadenopathies which were bilateral, asymmetric, and non-compressive. We therefore concluded the involvement of the lung and the mediastinal lymph nodes. The angiotensin-converting enzyme level was high. The patient was successfully treated with prednisone at the dose of 1mg/kg/day.

Acute onset anarthria without hepatic manifestation: a rare presentation of Wilson disease.

Project description:Wilson disease (WD) is one of the few inherited but treatable disorder mainly affecting the liver and brain resulting in severe disability or death if left untreated. Hence, it is important to keep a high index of suspicion for diagnosing this clinical entity in appropriate clinical settings. The clinical presentation can be quite variable and they may present solely with neurological features sans hepatic symptoms. Such neurological manifestations usually follow subacute to chronic course. Acute onset anarthria as the heralding and predominant presenting feature has been rarely reported in the literature. We reported a case of a 12-year-old girl who presented with acute onset anarthria and dystonia of 1-month duration. On further evaluation, a diagnosis of WD was made. The patient showed partial improvement after she was started on copper chelating agents and anticholinergics.

Replaced gastroduodenal artery with continuation as accessory left hepatic artery: a rare anatomical variant.

Project description:Background:Presented here is a rare case of a gastroduodenal artery (GDA) replaced to the superior mesenteric artery with continuation into an accessory left hepatic artery. To the authors' knowledge, this rare anomaly is not described previously. Replaced GDA is reported, however without continuation into an accessory LHA. Case presentation:A 74-year-old male with recurrent peptic ulcer disease presented with acute onset melena. This anomaly was discovered during abdominal angiography performed for treatment of a hemorrhagic duodenal ulcer. Initial celiac and common hepatic artery (CHA) subselection and angiography demonstrated no branch vessels. Angiography via the superior mesenteric artery demonstrated free extravasation into the duodenum and distal perfusion of the left hepatic lobe. Conclusions:This is a rare variant of hepatic arterial anatomy. Importantly, this variant challenges a previously described anatomical model that attempts to explain observed CHA variation.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the colon with an unusual presentation of intestinal intussusception.

Project description:Inflammatory myfibroblastic tumor (IMT), also known as inflammatory pseudotumor is unusual, benign solid tumor. This tumor is commonly reported in the lungs but can be present in extrapulmonary sites as well. We present the case of a 7-year-old girl with IMT in an unusual location. The patient was admitted with abdominal pain, and ultrasound showed a solid mass in the abdomen. She was operated and colocolic intussusception secondary to a mass was found. Histologic evaluation of mass revealed IMT.

Inflammatory Fibroid Polyp in a 48-Year-Old Male: A Rare Cause of Intussusception.

Project description:Inflammatory fibroid polyp is a neoplastic condition affecting the gastrointestinal tract and particularly the gastric antrum. It is virtually a benign submucosal mass comprising mesenchymal cells and numerous small blood vessels with inflammatory cells and commonly eosinophils. Patients with inflammatory fibroid polyps usually present clinically with mechanical intestinal obstruction with or without intussusception. Herein, we present a case of a 48-year-old male with a known history of schizophrenia who presented with mechanical intestinal obstruction following intussusception due to inflammatory fibroid polyp involving the proximal jejunojejunal part of the jejunum.

Jejunojejunal intussusception secondary to inflammatory fibroid polyp: A rare cause of small bowel obstruction.

Project description:BackgroundAdult intussusception is a relatively rare clinical entity. The majority of cases of intussusception in adults are due to a pathologic condition that serves as a lead point and requires surgery. Small bowel intussusception is usually caused by benign or malignant neoplasms appearing at the head of the invagination. Inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) of the small bowel is an unusual benign neoplastic lesion that has been rarely reported to cause intussusception, especially in the jejunum.Case presentationWe present a rare case of adult intussusception who presented with a triad of intestinal obstruction. Computed tomography revealed small bowel intussusception with bowel ischemia. Intraoperatively, she required resection of the small bowel and primary anastomosis. Macroscopic examination revealed a single pedunculated polyp, which is the lead point of intestinal obstruction and confirmed histologically.ConclusionInflammatory fibroid polyp should be considered as a cause of intussusception among adults with small bowel obstruction.

A rare case of jejunogastric intussusception: A case report and review of the literature.

Project description:IntroductionJejunogastric intussusception following gastrectomy or gastric bypass surgery is a rare complication that, if not identified early, can have catastrophic outcomes.Presentation of caseIn this case, a 59-year-old male with a previous Billroth II gastrojejunostomy presented with intussusception of the efferent loop of jejunum through his previous repair.DiscussionAs there has only been approximately 300 reported cases of this complication, it often does not rank high as a differential diagnosis. Early detection of jejunogastric intussusception by maintaining a high level of suspicion is critical in reducing morbidity and mortality associated with this complication. This can be achieved by following the appropriate steps to diagnosis and choosing the appropriate treatment modality.ConclusionPresentation of the case and a review of the literature is critical to make surgeons aware of this rare complication.

A Rare Case of Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Type 1C With an Unusual Presentation.

Project description:Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy type 1 (CMT1) is an inherited demyelinating neuropathy characterized by distal muscle weakness and atrophy. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1C (CMT1C) is a rare form of CMT1 caused by mutations in the lipopolysaccharide-induced tumor necrosis factor (LITAF) or small integral membrane protein of the lysosome/late endosome (SIMPLE) gene. Phenotypically, CMT1C is characterized by sensory loss and slow conduction velocity, and is typically slowly progressive and often associated with pes cavus foot deformity and bilateral foot drop. A 42-year-old female presented with a 10-year history of slowly progressive bilateral calf pain and cramps. After multiple electromyography/nerve conduction studies (EMG/NCS) and genetic testing, the patient was revealed to have CMT1C with a heterozygous pathogenic variant, c.334G>A (p.Gly112Ser). However, the presentation of the patient's CMT1C phenotype was unusual compared to patients with similar diagnosis in a previous study, including a normal sensory exam with the exception of high arches and mildly reduced vibratory sense. Additionally, the patient's teenage son already started showing symptoms of CMT1C despite the fact that the onset of the disease typically occurs at an older age. This particular case further highlights the idea that the phenotype related to CMT1C may have a wide spectrum of disease severity.
