RESUMO

Cecal bascule, a rare subtype of cecal volvulus, presents diagnostic and management challenges. We report a case of cecal bascule presenting as an internal hernia in a 68-year-old male with no surgical history. Computed tomography revealed two areas of mesenteric swirling and a displaced cecum. Prompt surgical intervention included laparoscopic exploration, resection of a necrotic adhesive band, and cecopexy. This case is noteworthy because of the absence of predisposing factors like prior surgeries or inflammatory conditions. Management options for cecal bascule include resection and cecopexy, tailored to individual patient factors. Awareness among healthcare providers is crucial for the timely recognition and appropriate management of such cases. Further research is needed to refine management strategies and improve outcomes for these rare but potentially life-threatening conditions.

RESUMO

Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a low-grade tumor of the vascular endothelium. The majority of individuals affected have advanced human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The disease typically manifests as cutaneous lesions but reports have shown that systemic disease is not uncommon. Because gastrointestinal KS is often asymptomatic, it is likely underdiagnosed. Those with symptoms can present with vague abdominal pain, nausea/vomiting or anemia. Rarely the tumors can cause bowel obstruction or perforation. We present a case of small bowel obstruction cause by KS tumors in a young transgender male to female patient with poorly controlled AIDS, supported by literature review of the clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment recommendations.

RESUMO

Necrotizing fasciitis travels along the fascial plane and surrounding soft tissue, leading to ischemia and necrosis. Fournier's gangrene is a type of necrotizing fasciitis invading the deep and superficial planes of the perineal/genital region. It is rapidly progressive in nature and may have life-threatening consequences. Fournier's often exhibits a misleading clinical presentation and can be mistaken for other conditions, such as hematoma, phlebitis, cellulitis, or septic arthritis. Since the ramifications of delayed diagnosis can be clinically significant, recognition of potential mimics is important to prevent morbidity or mortality. We report a case of Fournier's gangrene mimicking a second-degree burn, an exceedingly rare presentation.

RESUMO

Use of enteral nutrition has increased dramatically over the past two decades due to improved nutritional formulas, better quality feeding tubes and the ability to use less invasive endoscopic, fluoroscopic and laparoscopic techniques. Intussusception accounts for 1-5% of adult intestinal obstructions, with feeding tubes acting as a lead point in < 1% of cases. Since intussusception is rare, especially in adults, it is not always considered in the initial differential diagnosis of patients presenting with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting or constipation. If left untreated, intussusception can eventually lead to bowel compromise, poor outcomes and even death. Therefore, prompt recognition and correction are necessary. We present a case of small bowel obstruction in an elderly male secondary to a tube-related intussusception. A review of the signs, symptoms and treatment recommendations is provided.
