A Case Report on Fish Bone Perforating Meckel's Diverticulum Mimicking Appendicitis.

Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is the most frequent congenital abnormality of the digestive tract. Although it is silent, it can rarely come up as a complicated case including but not limited to obstruction, inflammation, and neoplasm. Perforation as a consequence of MD is extremely infrequent and mostly related to foreign objects. We report a case of a 24-year-old man who presented to the emergency department with signs and symptoms suggestive of acute appendicitis. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen demonstrated foreign body perforation from a protrusion outside the small bowel. The patient underwent laparoscopy and a fish bone perforating MD was found which was removed.

Spontaneous Bilateral Spermatic Vein Thrombosis: A Rare Clinical Presentation.

Cases of acute scrotum presenting to the emergency department are usually due to testicular torsion, complicated hernia, or epididymo-orchitis. Thrombosis of the spermatic vein is an uncommon entity and most of the cases reported to date are of unilateral involvement. Here, we present an extremely rare case of spontaneous bilateral spermatic vein thrombosis, which was diagnosed by a Doppler ultrasound of the testes. This article highlights its clinical presentation, radiological imaging, etiology, and management.
