Salivary gland tumors are relatively uncommon tumors, accounting approximately 3-10% of head and neck neoplasm. Most of them are benign and pleomorphic adenoma is the commonest among them that involves both major (90%) and minor (10%) salivary glands. The most predominant site of pleomorphic adenoma is palate; however, it may occur in any part of oral cavity like lip, floor of mouth, tongue, tonsil, pharynx, retromolar area and nasal cavity. Mucosa of cheek (4%) is an extremely rare site. A case of 25 years young male is reported here possessing pleomorphic adenoma of buccal minor salivary gland that was presented to us with a mobile swelling over right cheek that found to be pleomorphic adenoma of buccal minor salivary gland after histopathological examination. Surgical excision was done by intra oral approach with adequate margins. Patient had an uneventful postoperative course and discharged same day on oral antibiotics.

POEMS syndrome is a paraneoplastic syndrome due to an underlying plasma cell neoplasm. The major criteria for the syndrome are polyradiculoneuropathy, clonal plasma cell disorder (PCD), sclerotic bone lesions, elevated vascular endothelial growth factor, and the presence of Castleman disease. Minor features include organomegaly, endocrinopathy, characteristic skin changes, papilledema, extravascular volume overload, and thrombocytosis.

Background: Bilateral ruptured ectopic pregnancy is the rupture of two implanted product of conception outside of the uterine cavity. Bilateral ruptured ectopic pregnancy without an initial induction of ovulation is extremely rare. It’s occurrence with a major life threatening complication such as massive hemo-peritonium worsens the prognosis. Immediate diagnosis and surgical intervention is required. Few cases have been identified. Case report: We report the case of bilateral ruptured ectopic pregnancy with massive hemo-peritonium diagnosed in a 28-year- old female and managed at African Genesis Health Clinic Yaounde. Discussion and Conclusion: prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention is needed to improve the prognosis related to bilateral ruptured ectopic pregnancies with massive hemo-peritonium. Counseling for assisted means of procreation is important.

Infective endocarditis is a disease with a high mortality rate; mortality increases with the number of new episodes. Patients with relapsing endocarditis have a higher mortality rate per year (20%) than patients with a single episode (9%); moreover, the episodes of infective endocarditis on the prosthetic valve have a worse prognosis, with a mortality rate of 45% for each episode. In relapsing endocarditis, the following are distinguished: the relapses, characterized by the same germ, less than six months after the previous episode, and the reinfections, which may be caused by a different germ, or by the same germ, more than six months after previous episode. A recent analysis of the risk factors of recurrent bacterial endocarditis showed that the use of intravenous drugs, hemodialysis, immunosuppression and previous episodes of infective endocarditis played a major role, especially if they occurred on the prosthetic valve and if caused by S. aureus. Recurrent infectious endocarditis occurs more frequently in young male patients with HIV seropositivity, who routinely use intravenous drugs. We have analyzed the clinical case of a 36-year-old immunocompetent man with a long history of parenteral drug abuse, who has presented 6 new episodes of relapsing infective endocarditis on mitral valve and 2 reinfections since 2013. Between 2013 and 2016, the patient underwent two mitral valve replacements with a biological prosthesis implant and a mitral valve replacement with a mechanical prosthesis implant and a tricuspid annuloplasty. The remaining episodes were treated with medical therapy only. Currently in the literature 6 episodes of relapsing infective endocarditis and 1 reinfection in a single patient is the highest number of reported events.

Familial glucocorticoid deficiency (FGD) is a rare autosomal recessive disease caused by resistant of ACTH receptor at adrenal cortex leading to (usually) isolated glucocorticoid deficiency with normal mineralocorticoid secrete. Patients with FGD usually presented in neonatal–childhood period with signs/symptoms of glucocorticoid deficiency such as hypoglycemia, hyperpigmentation, Failure to thrive, shock and death if treatment was delayed. Labs usually revealed high ACTH, low cortisol but normal 17 OHP, electrolyte, androgen. Here we describe a 3-yearsold Saudi girl, with history of progressive hyperpigmentation for first year of life, but no history of hypoglycaemia or neonatal jaundice, no history of a lacrimation or dysphagia and positive similar family history. She had generalized Hyperpigmentation with normal female genitalia. Her cortisol was low with high ACTH level, but normal electrolyte 17, Hydroxyprogesterone, aldosterone, renin, androgen. Familial Glucocorticoid Deficiency was diagnosed, and maintenance dose of hydro cortisol was started, and patient pigmentation was improved few week latter.

Van Der knaap syndrome is a very uncommon disease seen mainly in the Aggarwal community in northern India. The characteristics of this disease are early onset macrocephaly with mild motor developmental delay, progressive gait alterations, muscular stiffness (spasticity), progressive ataxia, sporadic seizures and usually mild cognitive impairment (MCI) which is of late appearance. Only a few cases of this pathology have been reported in worldwide literature. for the knowledge of all, there are no reports so far of two siblings of parents in which there is apparently no Indian descent or consanguinity. In this case the brothers started with abnormal growth of the cephalic perimeter, difficulty to start the march which progressively got worse, muscular stiffness was developed while intellectual functioning was preserved for several years after onset of the disorder. Was more notorious in one of the two brothers in terms of motor and speech deficit.
Van Der knaap综合征是一种非常罕见的疾病，主要见于印度北部的Aggarwal社区。这种疾病的特征是早期出现的大头畸形，伴有轻度运动发育迟缓，进行性步态改变，肌肉僵硬(痉挛)，进行性共济失调，散发性癫痫发作，通常是晚期出现的轻度认知障碍(MCI)。在世界范围的文献中，只有少数病例被报道过。据大家所知，到目前为止，还没有关于父母中有两个兄弟姐妹明显没有印度血统或血缘关系的报道。在这种情况下，兄弟俩开始时头周生长异常，开始行走困难，并逐渐恶化，肌肉僵硬，而智力功能在发病后几年仍保持不变。两兄弟中有一个在运动和语言障碍方面更臭名昭著。

The knowledge for molecular mechanisms of preterm labor and preeclampsia is still premature. In the previous review, the author proposed that sex steroid treatment should be conserved for prospective clinical study in both preterm labor and preeclampsia. Unfortunately, little attention has been paid so far on the review article. Here, the authors present two cases of severe, complicated preeclampsia associated with preterm labor.

Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures (PNES) are defined as typical seizure-like activities or behaviors without cortical epileptiform discharges. The diagnosis of PNES remains a challenge and continuous video electroencephalography (cEEG) remains the gold standard to differentiate between epileptic seizures and PNES. Despite advances made in our understanding of PNES, diagnosing and treating this well-known entity remains a challenge. 25% of patients with seizures will be misdiagnosed as having PNES or epileptic seizures even by certified Neurologists. Do patient characteristics and demographics increase our accuracy to diagnose PNES? We present a case of a mother and her son, both diagnosed with PNES by cEEG monitoring in our epilepsy monitoring unit. While familial prevalence of conversion disorders is reported in the literature, this will be the first case report describing the incidence of PNES in two members of the same family. Do psychogenic epilepsies run in families? Will the diagnosis of PNES in one family member increase the probability of PNES in their relatives with seizures? Larger patient pools need to be studied to draw a definite conclusion regarding our observation.

Torpedo maculopathy is a rare, congenital anomaly of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) which is characterized by the appearance of a ‘torpedo‐shaped’ lesion located temporal to the fovea. In our case a 9 years old girl on her routine eye examination was discover to have a bilateral macular RPE defect with a pointed-oval shape directed toward the foveola and hyperpigmented. OCT and Foto fundus was done to the patient and diagnoses of torpedo maculopathy was made. Regular was recommended.
