A man in his early 70s presented to the emergency department with a fall, following a history of fatigue and malodorous urine. On presentation, he was feverish, tachycardic and confused and was treate...
With the prevalence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), many severe cases have been discovered worldwide. Here, a case of concurrent pneumomediastinum, pneumoretroperitoneum, and intestinal perfor...
A 74-year-old female patient was hospitalized for COVID-19. Air leakage was unexpectedly found during imaging reexamination. Considering the unobvious subjective feeling of the patient, a conservative...
Clinicians should be vigilant for spontaneous gastrointestinal perforation in patients with COVID-19, particularly those undergoing treatment with glucocorticoids and tocilizumab. The case is shared t...
To estimate if the odds of spontaneous intestinal perforation (SIP) are increased when antenatal steroids (ANS) given close to delivery are combined with indomethacin on day 1 after birth (Indo-D1)....
A retrospective cohort study using the Neonatal Research Network (NRN) database of inborn infants, gestational age 22...
Of 6851 infants, 243 had SIP (3.5%). ANS exposure occurred in 6393 infants (93.3%) and IndoD1 was given to 1863 infants (27.2%). The time (median, IQR) from last dose of ANS to delivery was 32.5 hours...
The odds of SIP were increased after receipt of Indo-D1. Exposure to ANS prior to Indo-D1 was not associated with an increase in SIP....
Foreign body ingestions are fairly common and present with obvious symptoms. Certain foreign bodies, like button batteries and magnets, are rarely ingested, but carry with them the extremely dangerous...
Peritoneal drainage is an established management strategy for spontaneous intestinal perforation (SIP) in premature infants. We sought to evaluate the safety and efficacy of percutaneous pigtail cathe...
Patients less than 32 weeks gestational age who underwent peritoneal drain placement for SIP at two neonatal intensive care units between 2011 and 2022 were identified. Incisional drainage (ID) or per...
Thirty seven infants were identified. There were no differences in demographics or physiological derangement between the groups. Patients who underwent ID had more frequent stool drainage, a greater t...
Percutaneous drain placement provided effective drainage in infants with SIP and was associated with more rapid feeding advancement and no incidence of incisional hernia....
A 77-year-old man presented with abdominal pain for 1 week. He was taking enteric-coated low-dose aspirin (LDA) to prevent secondary cardiovascular events and a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). Computed t...
Late perforation of the ileum is a rare and potentially life-threatening complication following intestinal resection. We present a unique case of a woman in her 60s with a history of appendiceal carci...
