Stent encrustation or fragmentation? A case report of post stent removal encrustation in postpartum woman and literature review

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ureteral stents are commonly used in the field of urology to relieve ureteral obstruction. However, complications relating to ureteral stent use, such as encrustation continue to occur, especially with prolonged indwell time.

Case presentation

Here we present a 37-year-old postpartum woman with a foreign body in her bladder after removing a ureteral stent 1 month before. She insisted that the foreign body was the fragment of stent and asked for medical malpractice indemnity payments while the surgeon of her insisted that the stent was intact during the procedure. Finally, the foreign body was confirmed as an encrustation by cystoscopy and the patient received 10,000 yuan ($ 1500) as indemnity payments after encrustation removal.

Conclusion

In the absence of guidelines, stent indwelling time vary with centers’ habits, stent materials and patient’s education. Early detection of stent encrustation and timely removal of the encrusted stent are still the best way to avoid stent retention. Violent stent removal is of danger and not recommended in any case.

COVID-19 presenting as right flank pain in a postpartum woman: A case report.

Project description:IntroductionPatients with COVID-19 infection may present a wide range of symptoms that make its diagnosis challenging, especially in patients with underlying conditions.Presentation of caseA 30-year-old postpartum woman presented to the Emergency Department (ED) of Arash Women Hospital with right flank pain. Physical examination revealed tachycardia and decreased sounds in the base of the lung. Chest CT scan demonstrated patchy consolidations in bases of the lungs in favor of COVID-19 infection. The patient underwent pharmacotherapy with Remdesivir, steroid, and interferon beta-1a for eight days and was discharged in a good condition.DiscussionThis study suggests that involvement of lungs' bases may be associated with gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal or flank pain in the COVID-19 patients. It makes the diagnosis difficult in a scenario such as the described patient in our study where there may be other differential diagnoses correlating with the patient's clinical course.ConclusionCOVID-19 should be in the differential diagnosis of any patient presenting to ED with relevant complaints. Correct and immediate diagnosis is critical for proper treatment and isolation of patients with COVID-19.

Percutaneous removal of air-bullet gunshot: case report and literature review.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Cardiac air bullet injuries are rare but can be associated with significant morbidity and mortality. CASE PRESENTATION:We are presenting a young male child who sustained an accidental injury to the chest by an air rifle. Bullet entered the right ventricle from the anterior part of the chest and was identified in the RV side of the interventricular septum by echocardiography and chest CT scan. There was mild pericardial effusion but no valvular injury. The bullet was removed in the cath lab, and the patient was discharged home on the second day. CONCLUSIONS:It is reasonable to try foreign body removal in the cath lab, for certain cases, and avoid cardiac surgery.

Carotid endarterectomy for in-stent restenosis: a case report and literature review.

Project description:It is relatively difficult to treat restenosis when restenosis occurs following carotid artery stenting. Endarterectomy with simultaneous stent removal is an effective approach when restenosis occurs. The treatment method is still not well known. The present paper reports a case of restenosis after stenting that was treated with endarterectomy with a satisfactory treatment outcome. The patient, a 74-year-old male, underwent stenting 10 months before he was re-hospitalized. He seemed to recover well after stenting until one month before he was re-hospitalized, when he presented symptoms of cerebral ischemia. Imaging examination revealed that in-stent stenosis had reoccurred, with the stenosis degree ranging from 70-99%. He was given endarterectomy treatment, and intra-operative findings showed that the stent grew into a carotid artery plaque and protruded below the adventitia and that the stent lumen was not covered by carotid artery intima. The surgery completely and successfully removed the plaque and the stent, while the adventitia was completely preserved. Follow-up indicated that there was no stenosis in the carotid artery, and the prognosis was good. Relevant literature was also reviewed in this paper, and the authors suggested that carotid artery plaque and stent endarterectomy is beneficial. However, surgical treatment for in-stent stenosis remains a challenging option.

Treatment and molecular analysis of bullous pemphigoid with tofacitinib: a case report and review of current literature

Project description:Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a rare, life-threatening autoimmune blistering disease with pruritus and tension blisters/bullous as the main clinical manifestations. Glucocorticosteroids are the main therapeutic agents for it, but their efficacy is poor in some patients. Tofacitinib, a small molecule agent that inhibits JAK1/3, has shown incredible efficacy in a wide range of autoimmune diseases and maybe a new valuable treatment option for refractory BP. To report a case of refractory BP successfully treated with tofacitinib, then explore the underlying mechanism behind the treatment, and finally review similarities to other cases reported in the literature. Case report and literature review of published cases of successful BP treatment with JAK inhibitors. The case report describes a 73-year-old male with refractory BP that was successfully managed with the combination therapy of tofacitinib and low-dose glucocorticoids for 28 weeks. Immunohistochemistry and RNA sequencing were performed to analyze the underlying mechanism of tofacitinib therapy. A systematic literature search was conducted to identify other cases of treatment with JAK inhibitors. Throughout the 28-week treatment period, the patient experienced clinical, autoantibody and histologic resolution. Immunohistochemical analysis showed tofacitinib significantly decreased the pSTAT3 and pSTAT6 levels in the skin lesions of this patient. RNA sequencing and immunohistochemical testing of lesion samples from other BP patients identified activation of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. Literature review revealed 17 previously reported cases of BP treated with four kinds of JAK inhibitors successfully, including tofacitinib (10), baricitinib (1), upadacitinib (3) and abrocitinib (3). Our findings support the potential of tofacitinib as a safe and effective treatment option for BP. Larger studies are underway to better understand this efficacy and safety.

Postpartum histoplasmosis in an HIV-negative woman: a case report and phylogenetic characterization by internal transcribed spacer region analysis.

Project description:The present report describes the first case of postpartum disseminated histoplasmosis in a 24-year-old HIV-negative woman. On the tenth day after vaginal delivery, the patient presented with dyspnea, fever, hypotension, tachycardia, and painful hepatomegaly. Yeast-like Histoplasma capsulatum features were isolated in the buffy coat. The phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that the fungal isolate was similar to other H. capsulatum isolates identified in HIV patients from Ceará and Latin America. Thus, histoplasmosis development in individuals with transitory immunosuppression or during the period of immunological recovery should be carefully examined.

Miliary Tuberculosis in a Young Woman with Hemophagocytic Syndrome: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Project description:We herein report a rare case of miliary tuberculosis-associated hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) complicated with respiratory failure. A 19-year-old Japanese woman with a fever, general malaise, and chest radiograph abnormalities was referred to our hospital. After admission, she developed respiratory failure with pancytopenia. A histological examination of lung and bone marrow biopsy samples revealed noncaseating granulomas without evidence of acid-fast bacilli or lymphoma. In addition, a bone marrow biopsy showed marked histiocyte hyperplasia with hemophagocytosis, and a bronchoalveolar lavage fluid culture grew Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Therefore, a diagnosis of miliary tuberculosis-associated HPS was made. The patient was successfully treated with antituberculous therapy.

Transnasal endoscopic removal of a retrochiasmatic cavernoma: A case report and review of literature.

Project description:BackgroundCavernomas arising in the region of the optic apparatus are extremely rare, accounting for <1% of all the central nervous system cavernomas. Most patients are affected by acute visual disturbances related to hemorrhagic events. A prompt resection of the lesion together with a decompression of the optic apparatus may lead to a functional improvement. Almost all patients reported in literature were treated by means of a craniotomy, whereas only few papers described the use of a transnasal approach.Case descriptionWe report the case of a 53-year-old woman with a hemorrhagic, cavernous malformation of the optic chiasm region and we discuss the technical nuances of the endoscopic transnasal approach we employed. We also review literature for patients with cavernomas treated with a transsphenoidal approach. In our case, the patient underwent the gross-total resection of the lesion through a fully endoscopic transnasal route and the visual disturbances improved immediately after the operation. The ventral access allowed an adequate exposure of the chiasm/anterior circulation complex, thus avoiding an excessive dissection and retraction of neurovascular structures. Moreover, with the aid of angled scopes, we were able to identify the frail vascular supply of the chiasm by employing the suprachiasmatic corridor as well as the infrachiasmatic one. We stress the need for a careful reconstruction of the skull base to avoid a postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leak.ConclusionsWith the evolution and spreading of the neuroendoscopic techniques, in selected cases, we advocate the use of the transnasal route for the removal of cavernomas arising in the region of the anterior optic pathways.

Vaginal Removal of Very Large Nascent Uterine Myoma - Case Report and Literature Review.

Project description:This report shows that even extremely large nascent uterine myomas can be removed vaginally. A 25-year-old nulligravid and nulliparous patient with malaise, hypermenorrhea, and intermittent cramping pain in the lower abdomen was referred to our clinic. Gynecological examination revealed a round cauliflower-like tumor, 7 cm in diameter, originating from the external cervical os with a rough surface and without a palpable stalk or base. Ultrasound scan showed a hyperechogenic mass within the uterine cavity with two distinct subunits: one (55 × 44 mm) well-demarcated from the surrounding structures and the other (43 × 38 mm) in close proximity to the lower part of the anterior uterine wall and in continuity with the myometrium. At surgery, the myoma was completely removed vaginally. Recovery was prompt, complete, and uneventful. Follow-up at one and three months confirmed normal gynecological and sonographic findings. In conclusion, vaginal myomectomy is the treatment of choice for prolapsed pedunculated submucous myoma; even extremely large nascent myomas can be efficiently removed vaginally.

EUS-guided stent removal in buried lumen-apposing metal stent syndrome: a case series.

Project description:Background and aimsLumen-apposing metal stents (LAMSs) play an increasing role in transgastric and transduodenal drainage of pancreatic fluid collections and allow novel EUS-guided interventions. Alongside the main adverse events of bleeding and occlusion, LAMSs can be overgrown by mucosa, which leads to the inability to visualize the stent in endoscopy.MethodsWe describe a series of 4 cases of buried LAMSs that were removed under EUS guidance for identification of the stent followed by removal with rat-tooth forceps.ResultsThe median in situ time of the LAMSs in the reported 4 cases was 53 days. All stents could no longer be visualized endoscopically when drainage of necrosis was complete. All 4 buried LAMSs could be identified by EUS and were removed successfully with forceps. In 1 case, balloon dilation of the stent tract was performed before stent removal. No adverse events were observed after the procedure.ConclusionsBuried stent syndrome is a rare adverse event of LAMSs. Here we describe a safe and effective approach for stent identification and removal without prior mucosal dissection.
