Peripheral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare vascular pathologies. We report a case of scalp AVM presenting with a palpable mass in the left temporal region and tinnitus. Thirty-year-old female patient had no previous complaints or trauma history in her anamnesis. Physical examination revealed a 3x1 cm pulsatile mass in the left superficial temporal artery tracing. Findings consistent with AVM were detected in the Doppler ultrasonography. After informed consent was obtained, the mass was surgically excised under local anesthesia and discharged the same day. Arteriovenous malformations can develop in 2 ways. Congenital AVMs are more common and develop as a result of defects in the angiogenesis process. The acquired type is less common and usually develops secondary to trauma. The clinical presentation is usually asymptomatic. Symptomatic cases with progressive growth need to be treated. Treatment may involve embolization or ligation of the feeding artery or surgical excision.

This is a case report of a 26-year-old female patient who presented with poor vision due to a vitreous lens drop of her right eye. The patient underwent pars plana vitrectomy. However, scleral fixation was postponed due to corneal edema. She presented to the clinic 2 months later with complaints of eye pain. The patient was found to have a corneal perforation and iris prolapse. Emergency surgery was performed, and after the iris tissue were repositioned, the corneal defect was sutured and an amniotic membrane was transplanted onto the defect. The corneal defect healed, and the anterior staphyloma did not progress. The patient's underlying condition was suspected to be a congenital connective tissue disorder. Anterior staphyloma may develop after vitrectomy in patients with congenital tissue disease, and amniotic membrane closure may be preferred in these patients for better healing process.

Cat scratch disease (CSD) is a zoonotic disease known for centuries caused by Gram-negative intracellular bacilli (Bartonella henselae) generally leading to a benign, self-limiting disease. The main routes of transmission for CSD from infected young cats to human beings were through biting or scratching of contaminated cats. Here, we report a case with acute kidney injury (AKI) with vasopressor-resistant severe hypotension, and pancytopenia who had a history of multiple scratches by stray kittens. The patient was treated with ciprofloxacin and doxycycline based on the diagnosis of Bartonellosis. Disseminated involvement of visceral organs (especially kidneys) in patients with Bartonellosis is very rare. Up till now, 20 cases have been reported as the cause of kidney failure. The presence of limited data about Bartonellosis makes it less recognizable among clinicians leading to delayed diagnosis. We would like to emphasize the importance of unvaccinated cat scratch history in evaluating patients with AKI.

Giant cell bone tumors are benign lesions of the bone and they usually behave locally aggressive in the follow ups. The most common location of giant cell bone tumor is the metaphysis of distal femur, proximal tibia, distal radius, and proximal humerus. They rarely metastasize, and surgical methods are prominent in their treatment. Among the surgical treatments, curettage, cementation, and in some selected cases, reconstruction with vascular fibula graft can be applied. In addition to surgical treatments, denosumab treatments have also been put into practice. In this article we discuss a patient undergoing 3 surgeries due to giant bone cell tumor in right distal ulna in the forearm. We are going to discuss a patient that we performed a reconstruction operation with vascular fibula graft who had been operated on for giant cell bone tumor in his right ulna twice and received denosumab treatment and had good postoperative follow-up and functional results.

A fibroepithelial anal polyp is a benign mesenchymal tumor that typically develops from the hypertrophic anal papilla in response to anoderm irritation, damage, or infection. Long-term lymph stasis is thought to contribute to the process. It can be single or multiple, and it is usually small. It can sometimes enlarge and cause symptoms like itching and wetness in the anal region, lowering one's quality of life. It is rarely necessary to rely solely on surgical intervention. It is frequently excised as part of other proctological procedures. It is uncommon in the clinic for them to cause intermittent intestinal obstruction and obstruct the anal region. We aimed to present a case that resulted in intermittent subileus attacks, chronic constipation, and surgical intervention.

Displacement of the catheter outside the intrabdominal area after ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is an extremely rare complication. In a 4-month-old male patient with a history of VP shunt due to hydrocephalus in the neonatal period, abdominal X-ray showed that the distal end of the shunt catheter was in the scrotum. The catheter tip was reduced to the abdomen via left inguinal herniotomy, and hernia repair was performed with high ligation. Migration of the VP shunt catheter into the scrotal area is a complication that is easy to treat, but has not yet been clarified in terms of prevention. The recognition of this complication and its correction with early surgical intervention are important in terms of preventing possible visceral organ damage and clinical worsening due to shunt obstruction.
