RESUMO
Chorea, hemichorea-hemiballismus and severe partial seizures may be the presenting features of nonketotic hyperglycemia in older adults with type 2 diabetes, but cases in young adults with type 1 diabetes are rare. We hereby report a very rare case of diabetic ketosis with movement disorder in a young patient.
RESUMO
Allergic reactions may be noted by an anesthesiologist during various stages of anesthesia that include induction, maintenance, and post anesthesia care. The incidence of allergic reactions is most common in the perioperative period as a result of various drugs being used concomitantly. It is of paramount importance that an allergic reaction be rapidly diagnosed and adequately treated, because anaphylaxis and acute allergic reactions can occur within minutes in a sensitized individual and can be fatal. Here, we report a case of allergic reaction encountered during induction of anesthesia, after administration of intravenous infusion using lactated Ringer solution.

Alstrom syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that was first described in 1959, by Carl Henry Alstrom, characterised by multiorgan system involvement ranging from ocular, aural, endocrinal, hepatorenal, gastrointestinal, respiratory and cardiac to the musculoskeletal system, among many others. It exposes the patient to various risks ranging from pulmonary aspiration and increased cardiac morbidity to separational anxiety, and may necessitate postoperative elective ventilation. We hereby present the successful management of one such diagnosed case in a 12-year-old boy, who presented to us for incision and drainage of an abscess present over the nape of his neck, along with foreign body removal from his right ear.
