Unrupted Sinus Of Valsalva Aneurysm From Left Coronary Sinus Secondary To Brucella Endocarditis
Unruptured sinus of valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is a rare cardiac condition occurring in the general population, with potential for grave complications. Unruptured sinus of valsalva aneurysms because of Brucella endocarditis is rare , it arising from left coronary sinus is very rare. Most of the cases earlier were diagnosed by echocardiography and also by conventional angiography. But with the availability of advanced imaging mo1dalities like 128 slice cardiac CT and MR modalities, this condition can be accurately assessed noninvasively. We report a case of 40 year old male patient presenting with pyrexia of unknown origin .clinical examination revealed early diastolic murmur and ejection systolic murmur.
Spectrum of abdominal anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES) with successful management: a case report
Abdominal pain is a common symptom with a spectrum of causes. Anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES) is a commonly overlooked and underdiagnosed cause for anterior abdominal pain. Among the patients of chronic abdominal wall pain, the incidence of ACNES is 10–30% and the most common cause is nerve entrapment at the lateral border of the rectus muscle. We describe two cases covering varied location of entrapment, one at the medial border of rectus and another at lateral border explaining the need of ultrasound for successful management of both. This case report illustrates the difficulty of making this diagnosis, utility of ultrasound and a brief review of literature.
