1/8. Spontaneous disappearance of a normal adnexa associated with a contralateral polycystic-appearing ovary.BACKGROUND: Absence of the adnexa may be congenital or acquired. However, the etiology is often uncertain. CASE: A 27-year-old woman presented with a 3-year history of subfertility. Her irregular menstruation was associated with acne vulgaris, alopecia, and elevated body mass index. Transvaginal ultrasonography of the pelvis showed a normal uterus, a normal right ovary, but a polycystic-appearing left ovary. A hysterosalpingogram demonstrated a normal uterine cavity, prompt filling and spilling of contrast material from the left fallopian tube, but no filling on the right. Subsequent laparoscopy showed an unexpected absence of right adnexa and presence of a solitary rounded free-floating mass enshrouded in the omentum. She did not have a history of abdominal pain or surgery. CONCLUSION: The evidence suggests that the patient might have had an asymptomatic infarction of the right adnexa.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = cavity (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/8. Transverse aortic arch replacement associated with magic syndrome: case report and literature review.We report a case of ascending and transverse aortic arch aneurysm repair with aortic valve replacement in a patient with magic syndrome (mouth and genital ulcers with inflamed cartilage), the unusual setting of both Behcet's disease and relapsing polychondritis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 53.38344159893keywords = mouth (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/8. mouth and genital ulcers with inflamed cartilage: magic syndrome. Five patients with features of relapsing polychondritis and Behcet's disease.Five patients with features of coexistent relapsing polychondritis and Behcet's disease are described. review of the literature supports the overlap of the clinical manifestations of these two conditions. A common immunologic abnormality is likely, and elastin is cited as a possible target antigen. The "mouth and genital ulcers with inflamed cartilage (magic) syndrome" is the proposed name for this entity.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 53.38344159893keywords = mouth (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/8. Acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis with genital involvement.More than 80 cases of acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis have been published since Sweet in 1964 described the syndrome. Besides skin eruptions, some patients have mucous membrane lesions involving mouth and lips. This report describes a patient with a pustular eruption consistent with Sweet's syndrome, who is believed to be the first with involvement of genital mucosa.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 53.38344159893keywords = mouth (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/8. Behcet's disease.Behcet's disease is characterized by three primary components: iridocyclitis (historically with hypopyon), aphthous lesions in the mouth, and ulceration of the genitalia. erythema nodosum, arthropathy and thrombophlebitis often accompany these manifestations, but the ocular symptoms may be the most important and serious manifestations of the disease. central nervous system involvement, most often due to necrotizing vasculitis, may be the most protean manifestation of the disease, leading to death. The frequency of ocular manifestations is 70-85% in patients with the disease; the underlying disease mechanism in all organ systems is an occlusive vasculitis. Although the most common ocular symptom is that of anterior uveitis, often with hypopyon as a very late sign, the presence of necrotizing retinal vascular lesions is well known and often obscured by the severity of the anterior reaction. Definitions, incidence, clinical characteristics, differential diagnosis, and management of Behcet's ocular disease are discussed, as are the interrelationships of the different organ manifestations. The ophthalmologist should be familiar with the full spectrum of disease presentation since he or she may be the first physician to encounter the Behcet's patient.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 53.38344159893keywords = mouth (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/8. Torsion of the internal female genital apparatus.A case of a huge right-sided ovarian cyst associated with torsion of the whole internal female genital apparatus around the uterine collum, herniation of the transverse colon into the thoracic cavity and mechanical obstruction of the ileum is described. The symptomatology, pathogenesis and treatment of the condition is discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = cavity (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/8. Lost surgical specimens.It is an unfortunate fact that surgical specimens can become lost in the peritoneal cavity. Several reparative actions may be required, including laparotomy. The preferred method to avoid this complication, however, is to prevent it from occurring.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = cavity (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/8. mouth and genital ulcers with inflamed cartilage (magic syndrome): a case report and literature review.A 39-year-old woman had relapsing polychondritis and Behcet's disease, which was described as mouth and genital ulcers with inflamed cartilage syndrome (magic). Serologic human leukocyte antigen analysis showed A24 (9), A31 (19), B56 (22), B62 (15), Cw6, DR4, DR9. Human leukocyte antigen allele analysis revealed DRB1* 0406/0901, DQA1* 0301/0301, DQB1* 0302/0303, DPB1* 0201/0501 through determining the genotype using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique. Treatment with methotrexate (5 mg/week) and pentoxifylline (300 mg/d) was effective to control oral ulcers, erythema nodosum, and arthritis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 53.38344159893keywords = mouth (Clic here for more details about this article) |
