One of the most common epileptic disorders in the pediatric population is Panayiotopoulos syndrome. Clinical manifestations of this idiopathic illness include predominantly autonomic symptoms and dysfunction of the cardiorespiratory system. Another feature constitutes prolonged seizures that usually occur at sleep. It is crucial to differentiate the aforementioned disease from other forms of epilepsy, especially occipital and structural epilepsy and non-epileptic disorders. The diagnostic process is based on medical history, clinical examination, neuroimaging and electroencephalography&mdas

Ganglion cysts are fluid filled sacs which develop near joints and tendons and are usually asymptomatic. Lower limb ganglion cysts are rare occurrences especially those situated around joint spaces causing nerve compression. We present the case of a 68 year-old female with history of progressive swelling in the left antero-lateral leg, associated with pain, and neurological symptoms of peroneal nerve compression. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a large proximal tibiofibular joint ganglion cyst causing peroneal nerve compression. One year following the left sided presentation, the

Idiopathic postpartum chylothorax is an uncommon finding, with only four cases described in the literature. We present the case of a 37-year-old female who was diagnosed with chylothorax three days after the delivery of her baby. Chylothorax was managed with chest tube placement, a low-fat diet, and octreotide. As opposed to the current literature, her chylothorax resolved with medical management and chest tube insertion without further surgical intervention. The chest tube was removed 11 days after chest tube placement, and she was discharged in stable condition. We also review the most re

Keratosis pilaris is a common and benign genetic skin disorder that results in patches of rough bumps on the skin, with varying degrees of reddening and inflammation. These bumps in the skin are caused by the dead skin cells that plug the hair follicles. Keratosis pilaris often manifests in small, hard bumps on the legs and arms. A common treatment method for many acne conditions, including keratosis pilaris, is acid, which has shown promise in recent years. This review examines the use and success of multiple types of acids, steroids, and kinase inhibitors in clinical and non-clinical sett

A young male patient used fixed dose combinations of different fluoroquinolones and nitroimidazoles several times in the last few years for self-treating repeated episodes of diarrhea and loose motion. Each time, he experienced fixed drug eruptions that increased in number and severity on subsequent occasions. Suspecting association between the drug and the rashes, the patient each time discontinued the treatment prematurely, and preferred to switch to a similar formulation next time, but with different molecules of fluoroquinolone (ciprofloxacin or ofloxacin) and nitroimidazole (tinidazole
