In this study, we present a case of haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) caused by plasmodium Falciparum malaria in a 30-year-old previously fit and well gentleman, to increase its awareness, as early detection and treatment can limit morbidity and mortality.
the navicular bone by the other already ossified tarsal bones leading to impaired blood supply. In this study, we present a case of Kohler’s disease in a 5-year-old, with characteristic x ray findings, to increase its awareness as early diagnosis and treatment can limit disability.

In this study, we present a case of pathological axis fracture caused by plasmacytoma in a 50-year-old female presenting with neck pain, with characteristic radiologic features, to increase its awareness, as early diagnosis and treatment can limit disability.
Freiberg’s disease is a rare disease of the bone affecting commonly the head of second metacarpal in young females in the second decade resulting from osteonecrosis due to multifactorial aetiology2. In this study, we present a case of Freiberg’s disease affecting the head of third metacarpal bone in a 43-year-old female with characteristic X ray findings, to increase its awareness as early diagnosis and treatment can limit disability.
