A 32-year-old woman, who presented for laparoscopic sterilization after two full-term normal deliveries, was incidentally diagnosed to have a left-sided complex cyst in the pouch of Douglas (POD). She had no history of previous surgeries or any symptoms of lower abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting
We present a case report of a 41-year-old man with an acute headache and hydrocephalus caused by the dermoid cyst. The dermoid cyst of the third brain ventricle caused an acute hydrocephalus and an increased intracranial pressure (with neurological signs such as nausea, vomiting, oedema papilae n.
Objective: Dermoid cysts (benign mature cystic teratoma) are a relatively common cause of adnexal torsion. We aimed to identify the clinical and surgical characteristics associated with adnexal torsion involving dermoid cysts.
Intracranial dermoid cysts are rare congenital lesions that typically occur in the cisternal spaces. However, exceptionally rare cases of intraaxial involvement have been reported, with only 8 cases having been described in the literature. The authors report the first case of an intraaxial dermoid
We report a man with a ruptured intracranial dermoid cyst, suffering from headache, nausea, vomiting and a generalised seizure. MRI was performed before and 2 weeks after surgical resection. On T1-weighted images the tumour gave high signal, as did fatty material in the frontal and parietal brain
Pancreatic dermoid cysts are a rare entity. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult. The diagnosis is generally taking intraoperative. A 20-year-old female presented with epigastric pain without nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, jaundice, and weight loss of one-month duration. Ultrasonography and
BACKGROUND
Mature cystic teratomas, commonly known as dermoid cysts, are the most frequent ovarian tumors discovered during pregnancy. They are present in 0.3% of pregnancies from weeks 16-20 of gestation. The diagnosis of mature cystic teratomas during pregnancy presents the vexing problem of
There is a wide group of lesions that may exist in the sellar and suprasellar regions. Embryologically, there is varying evidence that many of these entities may in fact represent a continuum of pathology deriving from a common ectodermal origin. The authors report a case of a concomitant
In this study, we report a rare case of intradiploic dermoid cyst in a patient who developed rapid symptoms of intracranial hypertension (ICH) that mimicked Pseudotumor cerebri syndrome clinically. A 25-year-old female presented with a history of headache, nausea, vertigo and blurred vision in the
A 67-year-old uniparous woman had undergone surgery for acute perforated gastric ulcer 10 years prior to the current presentation. Although abdominal computed tomography (CT) performed at that point had revealed a mature cystic teratoma measuring 6 cm in diameter in the right ovary, it was left
BACKGROUND
Intracranial dermoid cystic tumors account for <1% of all intracranial masses.
METHODS
A 52-year-old male, having headaches, nausea and is presented with a history of 2 episodes of new onset seizures. On presentation, the patient had a normal physical exam, including a complete
BACKGROUND
Of all patients undergoing emergency surgery for acute pelvic pain, approximately 2.7% of cases are caused by ovarian torsion. We report a rare occurrence of bilateral ovarian torsion in a young woman.
METHODS
We report the case of a 20-year-old white woman who presented with sudden onset
BACKGROUND
A 27-year-old man presented at the emergency room with episodic acute headaches and nausea for a few weeks. Neurological examination was normal.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to investigate the association of clinical, laboratory and ultrasound findings with the surgical diagnosis of adnexal torsion in a retrospective cohort of women operated for suspected torsion.
METHODS
The study included 199 reproductive age women > 16-year-old who
BACKGROUND
Appendiceal torsion is rare and generally seen more frequently in children than adults. Untreated it can lead to necrosis, ulceration, and subsequent peritonitis.
METHODS
A middle-aged female presented with a 5-day history of cramping abdominal pain and nausea and vomiting. Abdominal wall
