Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the most common procedures performed in the world today Acute calculus cholecystitis is the most frequent complication of cholelithiasis. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the best treatment for acute calculus cholecystitis when performed within 72 hours. Acute cholecystitis tends to be one of the highest risks for conversion to open surgery-due to unclear anatomy, excessive bleeding or technical complications. Here we present 2 cases with severe acute cholecystitis that required placement of laparoscopic cholecystostomy (LC) tube. Patient subsequently underwent interval cholecystectomy, when the inflammation had subsided. LC tube placement can be a safe alternative in such situations to avoid complications and conversion to open procedure.

Transient global amnesia (TGA) is a clinical syndrome featured with the sudden onset of primarily short-term loss of anterograde as well as a milder decline of retrograde memory. The etiology is still unclear. Various risk factors relate with TGA and it is thought the vulnerability of CA1 neurons to metabolic stress plays an important role in the pathophysiological cascade. During the quarantine period of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, a 53-year-old Asian woman with 30 years of migraine history presented the emergency department for the first time to evaluate a sudden onset confusion and forgetfulness with repetitive questioning during migraine attack. Neurologic examination showed preserved orientations for time and person and no abnormalities in motor, speech, sensory, coordination, or cranial nerves. No focal Neurologic finding. Her memory gradually improved and restored to normal baseline over the course of a 24-hour in-patient stay. However, are trograde memory gap still existed a month after the TGA attack. The pathogenesis of TGA is unknown and many risk factors are associated with it, but among them migraine is considered a major risk factor, particularly in female patients aged 40-60 years. The anxiety stressor is a significant trigger for TGA. The pathophysiology argues that the vulnerability of CA1 neurons to metabolic stress plays an important role in TGA.

Fallot tetralogy is the most prevalent cyanogenic congenital heart disease. After one year of age, representing 10% of congenital heart defects and 75% of cyanotic heart defects. It is characterized by misalignment (anterior, superior, and right of the infundibular septum), causing the four known elements of pulmonary artery infundibular stenosis, aortic thrust, and ventricular septal defect, and hypertrophy of the right ventricle. Pregnancy in non- operated women has an associated maternal mortality rate of 3% to 12%, a perinatal loss rate (up to 30%). Women who become pregnant are exposed to hemodynamic stress and a gradual increase in the severity of pulmonary stenosis, exacerbating symptoms, and increased cyanosis. Below we present the case of a patient diagnosed with tetralogy of Fallot diagnosed in adolescence without surgical correction, due to lack of financial resources who reaches the end of pregnancy, without adequate prenatal control, and exacerbation of symptoms in the last trimester, due to which interrupts pregnancy via the abdomen, with a favorable evolution during the puerperium.

We are reporting a case series describing clinical, laboratory, MRI and CT myelogram imaging and treatment results for 4 patients with spontaneous cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) leak with subsequent intracranial hypotension; all of which resolved via blood patches. A 33-year-old woman (case 1) presented abrupt onset severe pain in the back and head; without preceding trauma or procedure. MRI brain revealed leptomeningeal enhancement, after CT myelogram identifying a CSF leak she received a 20ml epidural blood patch in the lumbar area. By the next day her symptoms had completely resolved. A 36year old woman (case 2) with 1 year-long history of positional headaches. Her CT Myelogram showed frequent multilevel Tarlov Cysts; one of which displayed leakage. Her orthostatic headaches disappeared after repeated EBP. A middle aged male (case 3) had an acute onset headache which persisted with orthostatic features since 6 weeks. He had complete remission after one epidural patching. A 47 year old man (case 4) presented with 5 days of typical orthostatic headaches, CT Myelogramm demonstrated a leaking thoracolumbar cyst. He required 2 EBP within 3 days to completely recover. Our cases support the notion that blood patching is a fast, effective and safe treatment for an increasingly recognized diagnosis of orthostatic headache caused by spontaneous intracranial hypotension.

Aortic valve regurgitation is a rare complication of blunt chest trauma, and when it ocurrs, it usually has a severe and acute onset. We report the case of a 52 year old healthy male who was involved in a high velocity motorcycle accident that caused cranial and thoracic injuries from which he recovered uneventfully after a two week admission in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit); cardiac lesions had been ruled out. Once weaning from mechanical ventilation was attempted the patient presented clear signs of acute heart failure and he was finally diagnosed with an aortic valve rupture that caused massive aortic valve regurgitation. After a surgical replacement of the aortic valve, the patient made a full recovery and was discharged two weeks later. Conclusion: Late presentation of traumatic aortic regurgitation should be considered in patients with a history of chest trauma even if valvular lesions were initially ruled out.

Retained fractured coronary guide wire fragments are rarely encountered during percutaneous coronary intervention, but may cause fatal complication such as thrombosis, emboli, dissection and perforation. Management of retained fractured coronary guide wire depends upon the clinical situation of the patient and the position and length of the fractured guide wire remnant. This article present a case of remnant guide wire filaments that remained in aorta without complications.

Cerebral venous and sinus thrombosis (CVT) is an uncommon disease and accounts for <1% of all strokes1,2 Multiple predisposing factors have been associated with CVT, among which only a few are reversible. Some of the transient conditions associated with CVT include pregnancy, dehydration, and infection.1 Cerebral venous thrombosis varies widely in its presentation, predisposition, neuroimaging, outcomes, and prognosis.3 The exact incidence and prevalence of CVT are unknown due to a lack of population based data. Although no age is exempt from cerebral venous thrombosis, in the pediatric population, neonates are most affected, and in adults, the highest incidence is in the third decade, with female preponderance.2

The less severely affected boy was first seen at the age of about four years during April, 2018 at the Children Teaching Hospital of Baghdad Medical City. The parents were relatives. They noted that he can not run as fast as his peer. He walked at the clinic and no obvious abnormality with his gait could be noticed (Figure-1A). Sensory examination was normal. Gower sign was negative and he didn’t have obvious difficulty in squatting and standing from the squat position.
