Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by recurrent, life-threatening bacterial and fungal infections of the skin, airways, lymph nodes, liver, brain, and bones. These infections most commonly occur in organs in contact with the outside world (lungs, gastrointestinal tract, and skin), as well as in lymph nodes that drain these structures. While involvement can be seen in many organs, there is no known cardiovascular involvement. Our case is an ACS case that has a different place in the literature because acute coronary syndrome (ACS) was seen in a 20-year-old male patient with a diagnosis of chronic granulomatous disease.

Introduction: Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a disease seen in every tissue and organ. Although it often involves the lung and pleura, it can also progress into extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Soft tissue and bone tuberculosis are the least common of all tuberculosis types. In some cases, the lesions may appear like bone tumors or metastatic lesions. Bacteriological and histopathological studies reach a definitive diagnosis because of the biopsy. We present a case suggestive of Ewing's sarcoma with clinical and imaging findings diagnosed as soft tissue tuberculosis resulting from the biopsy. Case: A two-year-old girl was admitted to our clinic with the complaint of palpable swelling on the left side of her chest. Ewing sarcoma was considered with the findings of Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and PET-CT. Biopsy material was reported as casefied granulomatous inflammation, and M. tuberculosis complex DNA was detected by PCR examination of the tissue. The patient was successfully treated with rifampin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol. Conclusion: Today, it should be kept in mind that tuberculosis is a common disease, rarely isolated soft tissue or bone involvement, and can be confused with malignancy.

Corpus Callosum Cytotoxic Lesion (CLOCCs) once rarely seen in the literature has been more often diagnosed in emergency services nowadays with widespread use of cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). CLOCCs is defined as a clinical and radiological spectrum disorder. Patient’s neurological symptoms usually improve completely within 1 month after the onset of the disease without any sequel. This is generally associated with cytotoxic edema of the splenium corpus callosum. It is important investigate the primary causes that lead to this condition and start the appropriate treatment according to the real diagnosis. We present a case diagnosed as CLOCCs secondary to pneumonia upon admission to our emergency service.

Introduction: 5th carpometacarpal (CMC) joint dislocations of the wrist region are very rare and easily overlooked injuries. In this type of injury, which causes serious functional problems in the hand if not treated appropriately, closed methods are generally used in the treatment. In this study, we present a case with fracture-dislocation of the 5th CMC joint. Case: Fracture-dislocation of the 5th CMC joint of a 25-year-old patient who was admitted to the emergency department due to wrist pain was not noticed. The diagnosis was made during the follow-up of the patient, and the joint was reduced with closed method and fixed with a K wire. No serious problems were encountered in the patient's controls. Conclusion: Undiagnosed 5th CMC joint dislocation disrupts the transverse and longitudinal arches of the hand, so the patient has a weak and painful gripping function. Radiological findings may be unclear on anterior-posterior and lateral views, and additional images may be obtained if in doubt.

INTRODUCTION: While rib fractures due to blunt traumas are common, pericardial and diaphragmatic injuries caused by rib fractures are rarely seen. Diagnosis is challenging due to the difference in clinical symptoms which may have severe clinical consequences. CASE: A 58-year-old female patient who had a traffic accident was referred to our centre due to left pericardial effusion while being followed up for tibial fracture. Left diaphragmatic rupture was detected in the radiographs taken. Intraoperative pericardial rupture was observed in the operated patient. The defects were repaired primarily and the patient was discharged in good health. CONCLUSION: Although the diagnosis is difficult In multitraumas including thoracic trauma, especially in cases with multiple rib fractures, one should be more attentive considering the possibility of diaphragmic and pericardial ruptures.

Introduction: Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome(NMS) is a state neurotransmitter levels fluctuate subsequent to administration of neuroleptic agents. Etiology of NMS is unclear. It’s a neurological emergency includes symptoms like altered mental status, rigidity, fever and dysautonomy. Our aim in here is to mention the side effects of metochlopramide, which is commonly used in Emergency Departments(ED). In our case, subsequent to intravenous admission of metochlopramide, patients clinic worsened with NMS symptoms and this was quite unexpected and unwanted for ED doctors. By this case report it is wanted to raise awareness against, side effects of metoclopramide and NMS. Case Report: Subsequent to intravenous administration of single dose metoclopramide to relieve abdominal pain into 21 years old male with no history of chronical diseases, symptoms of fever, muscle rigidity, confusion and fluctuating blood pressure levels quickly emerged along with leukocytosis and high levels of Creatine Kinase. ED Doctors suspected NMS. Futher laboratory and imaging stuides has excluded other central nervous system pathologies and infections. Eventually, patients clinic got better with symptomatic theraphy and he was discharged fully recovered. Conclusion: NMS due to metoclopramide is quite rare, but usage of therapies includes Metoclopramid at ED’s are quite often. Subsequent to administration of this drug, if patients clinical state worsens with fever, confusion and muscle rigidity, phycisians should keep NMS in mind.

This case report aims to present the diagnosis and treatment process of portal vein thrombosis, which occurred one week after laparoscopic appendectomy and required small bowel resection. A thirty-eight-year-old man was admitted with abdominal pain in the periumbilical and epigastric regions. He had a history of appendectomy and occlusive cerebrovascular disease. In the physical examination of the abdomen, tenderness was detected in the epigastric region on deep palpation. Leucocytosis, increased levels of alanine transaminase level, aspartate transaminase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, lactate dehydrogenase, c-reactive protein, and d-dimer were detected in laboratory analyses. CT scan revealed total thrombus in the portal vein, oedema in the segment of approximately 10 cm in the distal ileum, and free fluid in the pelvic region. Enoxaparin sodium was started. During follow-up, widespread defence and rebound in all quadrants of the abdomen occurred. 20 cm ileal resection with end ileostomy was performed. Enoxaparin sodium treatment was continued. On the 6th day of the service follow-up, the patient had left leg pain, and a subacute thrombus was detected in the main femoral, superficial femoral and deep femoral veins on doppler USG. Edoxaban tosylate 60 mg tablet every 24 hours started as an anti-coagulant treatment, and the patient was discharged without complications on the 18th day of hospitalisation.

Abstract: Monteggia lesion is a rare fracture in which ulna shaft fracture and radial head dislocation occur together. Monteggia equivalent is the lesion associated with ulna shaft fracture and radius head and/or neck fracture. We offer a case of Monteggia equivalent in a 9-years-old boy. In the surgery of the patient, anatomical plating was performed for ulna shaft fracture and intramedullary nail was applied for radius neck fracture. When we look at the literature, such case reports are very rare. Conclusion: In the 1-year follow-up of the patient, there was no loss in flexion, extension, supination and pronation range of motion.

Introduction This case report aimed to report two patients admitted to the emergency department with a preliminary diagnosis of carbon monoxide intoxication and was diagnosed with COVID-19 during their follow-up. Case 1 A 73-year-old female patient presented with weakness and shortness of breath complaints to the emergency department. Carboxyhemoglobin (COhgb) reached 36.2 %. Atypical pneumonic infiltration with peripheral and central patchy consolidations in the zones in hemothorax images from computerized tomography. The patient was tested positive for COVID-19 after a PCR test. The COhgb values of the patient reached 16 % after 3 h. Then, it dropped to 3.0 % after 8 h. Case 2 A 77-year-old male patient presented with shortness of breath and nausea complaints to the emergency department. COhgb (carboxyhemoglobin) reached 30%. Emphysematous changes in the lung parenchyma and increased peribronchial densities in the lobes were shown in computed tomography. The patient was tested positive for COVID-19 after a PCR test. The COhgb values of the patient reached 13 after 3 h. It dropped to 2.4 after 8 h. Conclusion Carbon monoxide intoxication is a significant public health problem with a high probability of death. Detailed studies and meta-analyses are needed to affect the prognosis of COVID-19 disease.

Myalgia and headache are relatively common in COVID-19 disease, but the serious neurological disease is rare. In this case, we describe the symptoms and clinic of AMSAN, a rare variant of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) due to COVID 19. We presented a case of AMSAN, a rare variant of GBS, in a 46-year-old male patient with a poor overall condition that did not recover after COVID-19 disease, loss of strength in all four extremities, and CSF and EMG findings. We added another GBS case due to Covid-19 infection to the literature. It should always be kept in mind that GBS may develop after the COVID-19 disease.
