Moyamoya disease is characterized by the gradual narrowing and occlusion of the terminal ICA and its branches, resulting in collateral circulation formation. In this study, we present a case of Moyamoya disease with characteristic MRA findings, to increase its awareness as early diagnosis and treatment can improve prognosis and limit disability.
Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are benign but potentially locally aggressive bone lesions typically occurring in the metaphysis of long bones3. Clavicular involvement is rare, especially in the absence of trauma or pain1. We report the case of a 12-year-old boy who presented to the urgent care center with a painless, non-tender lump over the lateral end of his right clavicle. Imaging studies revealed an expansile lesion suggestive of an aneurysmal bone cyst. This case highlights the importance of considering ABC in the differential diagnosis of clavicular masses in pediatric patients, even in the absence of classical symptoms.
Fully covered stents are a tool for the endoscopist in the management of benign and malignant strictures of the oesophagus. Nevertheless, they come with potential risks to the patient, such as stent migration and related complications. In this study, we present an interesting case of oesophageal stent migrating to the rectum, to increase its awareness, as early diagnosis and retrieval can limit complications.
We present the case of a 17-month-old female who was brought to an urgent care centre with refusal to bear weight on her left leg following a fall in her cot. Radiographic findings revealed classic signs of nutritional rickets, including metaphyseal changes and a suspected healing fracture. Biochemical investigations confirmed severe vitamin D deficiency. Early recognition and management of nutritional rickets are crucial in preventing long-term skeletal deformities and complications.
Perthes’ disease is a rare childhood condition affecting the hip joint due to avascular necrosis of the femoral head. It is Important for all children to have regular follow up with thorough clinical examination and x rays so that children at risk of developing complications can be identified and treated accordingly2. In this study, we present a case of complicated Perthes’ disease due to lack of regular follow up during the pandemic to increase its awareness as early diagnosis and treatment can limit disability.
