Vogt Koyanagi Harada syndrome is a systemic autoimmune granulomatous disorder of adults that affects melanocyte-rich, pigmented tissues which contain melanin including the eye, skin, inner ear, meninges, and hair. The syndrome was first described by a Swiss ophthalmologist Alfred Vogt and was named after him and a other two Japanese ophthalmologists. The most characteristic feature of the syndrome is the bilateral ocular manifestations which include diffuse uveitis presenting with an acute or subacute onset of bilateral visual impairment with or without pain and redness.

A 40 years’ man with a history of nephrolithiasis referred for LUTS and bladder stone in evaluation of bladder stone it was discovered that there is a. stent in urinary system of left kidney (Figure 1). The patient was candidate for ESWL after once time ESWL he was carried out for cystoscopy to removing stent and remained of bladder stone. In cystoscopy with covering of antibiotic nelatone of ureter easily removed which was intact (Figure 2) and also the remained of bladder stone.

A 55 years non-alcoholic gentleman was admitted through emergency medical services with sudden severe upper abdominal pain in the epigastrium with radiation to back. The pain in the upper abdomen was associated with recurrent bouts of bilious vomiting. He denied history for any other gastrointestinal symptoms. He is a known diabetic since last 3 years requiring insulin and oral hypoglycaemic agents. He has had similar episode of pain six months ago which was managed conservatively elsewhere. He was clinically stable with tenderness in the epigastrium.

Holt-Oram syndrome is a rare heterogeneous genetic disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance, seen in 1 in 100,000 live births.1 Despite genetic heterogeneity, the most frequent mutation is seen in TBX5 gene located on chromosome 12q24.1.2 It is characterized by abnormalities of a radial array and congenital cardiac defects, most commonly atrial septal and ventricular septal defects, hence quoted as atriodigital dysplasia.3 Conduction disturbances are seen in one-third of individuals and may present even in the absence of structural heart disease.4

The patient’s labs level was within normal except for CRP was elevated. By three separated measurement (one hour between each), water deprivation test revealed increased serum osmolality, increased serum Na+ and decreased urine osmolality. Hormonal Laboratory tests showed decreased FT4 and Testosterone. Magnet Resonance Imaging of pituitary gland was normal and no abnormality was detected (Figure1). Chest X-ray showed diffuse interstitial reticular densities in both pulmonary fields (Figure 2). X-ray of pelvis and legs showed lytic lesions.

A 83 years old woman with past medical history of coronary artery disease, had four stents nine years ago, colon cancer, finished the chemotherapy course and resection fourteen years ago, iron deficiency anemia, diverticulosis of large intestine, fibromyalgia, osteopenia, presented with an episode of syncope. Patient stated she has been in her usual health when she woke up that morning. Patient took her medications which were amlodipine 10mg daily, Aspirin 81mg daily, HCTZ 25mg Daily, Metoprolol succinate 50 daily, Rosuvastatin 20mg Daily, then was doing her daily activities when she felt weak and nauseated then went to her bed and fell next to it. Syncope was witnessed by daughter who stated that patient lost consciousness for about three minutes, covered in cold sweat, no shaking, no bladder or bowel incontinence were noted. Patient did not remember any of these events. Patient’s vitals were within normal limits except the heart rate was 50bpm. Basal metabolic panel and complete blood count were normal. Troponin was negative. EKG (Figure 1) demonstrated HR of 50bpm.

The posterior mediastinum presents a tendency to develop metastatic tumours especially gonadic ones, because of the lymphatic drainage of the testes and the thoracic aorta in the posterior mediastinal, whereas anterior mediastinal space characterized by tumour growth of primary aetiology.1 The regions of the rare presence of primary seminoma is the pineal body, the mediastinum and the retroperitoneum. The mediastinal region is the most common site of seminoma. The latter is in the anterior mediastinum, involves predominantly young males and corresponds to 25-30% of malignant mediastinal germ cell tumours.2–6 The thymus gland is often the primary hosts of mediastinal seminoma.7,8 Even if there are supporters of thymic genetic origin of the primary seminoma, the latest theory professes ectopic seminoma of a tumour originating in the gonads.9
