Diaphragmatic rupture is a rare pathology that reported in less than 0.5% of all trauma cases, with signs and symptoms that can easily be misdiagnosed. Clinicians must maintain a high index of suspicion to correctly manage this pathology. We present a case of diaphragmatic hernia...
Introduction: The CAP (Controlled Attenuation Parameter) function of FibroScan® is a new non-invasive diagnostic tool that allows the quantification of liver steatosis at the same time as elastometry. It is based on the attenuation of ultrasound waves. Its use is particularly val...
In this report, we present a case of a 28-year-old female patient who had both Peutz-Jeghers syndrome and Crohn's disease. Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is a rare genetic disorder with autosomal dominant transmission characterized by the association of hamartomatous polyposis and cutane...
Ingestion of foreign bodies is the 2nd most common indication for emergency endoscopy. The nature and location of the foreign body determine the indication and the time required for its extraction. The aim of our work was to report on the experience of our department in the endos...
Gastric tuberculosis is a rare manifestation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection outside the lungs. Its clinical presentation is nonspecific and can be misleading, often resembling peptic ulcer disease or malignancy. The primary source of information pertaining to this rare m...
Pneumatosis cystoides Intestinalis (PCI) is a rare disease characterized by the presence of gas-filled cysts in the intestinal wall, which can affect the entire digestive tract, with a predilection for the small intestine and colon. It can be primary or secondary, associated with...
Aims and Introduction: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) colitis often occurs in immunocompromised patients and those with inflammatory bowel disease, but only occurs occasionally in those without previous medical illness. Here we report on a patient without previous medical illness who pres...
Infectious esophagitis is a rare disease that usually affects immunocompromised patients. Diagnosis is made by upper endoscopy showing esophagitis and confirmed by histological examination and sometimes PCR on biopsies. We present a case of esophageal cytomegalovirus (CMV) and he...
Objective: To gather expert opinion regarding the commonly prescribed proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in clinical practice, with a specific focus on the use of pantoprazole as a treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in Indian settings. Methodology: The questionnaire-...
Although it seems relatively rare, pantoprazole-induced thrombocytopenia is a potentially serious side effect[6]. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which have the potential to stabilize blood clot formation, are frequently used in the treatment of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UG...
Introduction: Acute pancreatitis may escape etiological diagnosis after clinical, biological and morphological investigation in 10-30% of patients. Echo-endoscopy is promising and particularly effective in exploring the bilio-pancreatic region. The aim of our study is to evaluate...
