Orbit and sinonasal metastases are rare. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) can metastasise to this region. We present the case of a 49-year-old woman with weight loss, diplopia and a rapidly growing facial mass. The initial diagnosis was a primary tumour and patient underwent excisional biopsy, which showed findings consistent with a diagnosis of RCC. On a subsequent focused review of system, the patient reported having intermittent haematuria. Imaging studies revealed a complex right renal mass as the primary tumour. Metastatic RCC should be in the differential diagnosis of patients with facial masses, especially if associated with symptoms suggestive of a systemic involvement such as haematuria. Despite treatment, patients with metastatic RCC tend to have a dismal prognosis. However, early stage diagnosis of metastatic disease can considerably limit surgical complications and improve survival rate in these patients.Primary hyperparathyroidism is characterised by autonomous production of parathyroid hormone resulting in hypercalcaemia. It is estimated that 12% of these patients present with peptic ulcer-related symptoms. The pathophysiological mechanism is not well established, but studies reveal serum calcium activating gastrin cell calcium receptors ultimately resulting in increased gastric acid production leading to peptic ulcer disease. A patient presented acutely to our service with peptic ulcer perforation in the context of incidentally elevated serum calcium levels. Further inpatient investigations lead to the diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism as the first manifestation of this patient's disease.Scrub typhus is an acute febrile disease transmitted via bites from mite larvae (chigger) infected with Orientia tsutsugamushi. Arrhythmias, ischaemic changes and QT prolongation are some of the observed ECG abnormalities. The patient being reported presented with angina and was found to have sinus bradycardia with ST elevation in inferior leads and T wave inversion in lateral leads. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/gdc-0084.html His coronary angiography was normal. Further evaluation leads to the diagnosis of scrub typhus infection. Following doxycycline therapy, his ECG became normal. Afebrile scrub typhus infection with cardiac manifestation is an uncommon scenario.Thoracic endometriosis is a rare entity, wherein thoracic endometrial tissue deposition occurs. Recurrent pleural effusion is one of its manifestations. Diagnosis and treatment are often challenging, owing to the rarity of the condition and recurrences. We present an interesting case of a young woman of childbearing age who presented with recurrent haemorrhagic pleural effusion. She was referred to our centre after her initial video-assisted thoracoscopic biopsy was inconclusive. She was re-evaluated, and video-assisted thoracoscopic biopsy confirmed thoracic endometriosis. She underwent pleurodesis two times and currently on hormonal treatment, maintaining well.Rectal duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies of the gastrointestinal tract. They can present with pain, gastrointestinal bleeding, infection or compressive symptoms on the rectum and urinary bladder. A 79-year-old man presented with a 8×5 cm swelling in the sacral region above the natal cleft with a positive cough impulse. During surgical exploration, there were two cysts with the posterior one presenting as the hernia. The cyst was excised and histopathological examination confirmed a diagnosis of rectal duplication cyst. Rectal duplications can lie anterior or more commonly posterior to the rectum. Differential diagnoses include dermoid cyst, diverticular cyst, sacrococcygeal teratoma or meningocele and endoscopic ultrasound is imaging of choice for diagnosis. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. This is a rare presentation of a rectal duplication cyst as a perineal hernia with only a handful of cases in literature.This case report describes a patient who presented with acute left facial numbness and eyelid weakness prompting work-up, which demonstrated low suspicion for new stroke but revealed hypomagnesaemia as a potential differential diagnosis. Patient initially presented to the emergency department with left upper extremity weakness and was diagnosed with right basal ganglia infarction. Two weeks after transfer to the acute rehabilitation unit, patient suddenly complained of left facial numbness and eyelid weakness. However, brain imaging did not show any new acute infarct. Instead, laboratory results showed hypomagnesaemia at 1.50 mg/dL. Patient was therefore treated with intravenous magnesium leading to resolution of his symptoms. Up to 30% of acute stroke presentations are stroke mimics. Although hypomagnesaemia is less frequently seen as a mimic, its neuromuscular manifestations may present with similar symptoms. Patients will always benefit from a comprehensive evaluation for stroke symptoms, but it is important to consider the mimics as well.The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has affected millions of people around the globe. The most common presentation of COVID-19 is fever and upper and lower respiratory tract infection. Myalgia is fairly common in the prodromal phase of the viral illness which self-resolves. There is very scant literature on autoimmune myositis triggered by COVID-19 infection. We report a case of SARS-CoV-2 infection, who presented with progressive muscle weakness with rhabdomyolysis and necrotizing autoimmune myopathy on muscle biopsy. This case report imposes awareness of musculoskeletal autoimmune processes triggered by COVID-19 which requires clinical suspicion for early diagnosis and initiation of treatment.Cerebral malaria (CM) is defined by WHO as coma (Blantyre Coma Score 2 or less) in a patient with Plasmodium falciparum parasitaemia and no alternative cause of coma identified. Mortality is approximately 15%-30% in African children and up to one-third of survivors have neurological sequelae. We present a patient with severe stridor and prolonged profound weakness during an intensive care admission with CM. These complications initially presented a diagnostic dilemma in our limited resourced setting. The stridor failed to improve with empiric steroids and a subsequent opportunistic ENT consult diagnosed vocal cord paresis. The weakness was so profound that the patient was unable to lift his head during the acute illness. The child received intensive physiotherapy, and at 1-month follow-up, the stridor and weakness had resolved.
