Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome. A difficult diagnosis to make, but must be top of mind for physicians with patients who have vague upper abdominal pain after eating. The median arcuate ligament of the diaphragm compresses the celiac trunk near its root, essentially leading to demand ischemia of foregut structures during meals. Mesenteric doppler studies and/or mesenteric CT Angiography, both done at the end-expiratory phase of breathing, can help elucidate this anatomic abnormality. #RoboticSurgery for this pathology is an ideal approach, given the level of dexterity, visualization, camera stabilization, and fluorescence technology all within a single surgical device.

Interesting Case Study Highlight: Diagnosing Myositis Ossificans Clinical History: A 19-year-old male soccer player complaining of left thigh inner mass midsection with pain and stiffness. The patient had a history of thigh trauma 2 months ago during a football match. Diagnosis: Following thorough medical imaging examinations at ERAD, the diagnostic results indicated a case of Myositis Ossificans, a condition where bone tissue forms inside muscle or soft tissue after trauma. Early and accurate diagnosis was crucial in guiding his treatment plan, ensuring a swift recovery and a return to the field.

🌟Just Published! 🌟 I am thrilled to share that our recent article has just been published in IDCases journal, where I had the honor of serving as the corresponding author. This publication marks a significant milestone in our ongoing research efforts. This report presents a fascinating case of a 39-year-old male who experienced recurrent vertebral osteomyelitis after cerebral angiography. Despite negative results for infective endocarditis (IE), a retained micro-catheter was discovered extending from the aortic arch to the inguinal artery. This case highlights the critical need for improved surgical protocols to prevent similar infections in the future.

Lab reports play a crucial role as an adjunct in determining the most appropriate treatment for most conditions. They are very important, but a surgeon should not be biased on the reports but rather open to all possibilities. Often, it is a very challenging task for our pathology colleagues in private practice, where they are usually provided with - inadequate clinical history of patient - inadequate biopsy or FNA samples - No details on probable clinical differential diagnosis by referring doctors In this challenging background, discrepancies are bound to occur. A 19-year-old patient presented with swelling in the left side of the neck, which was previously attempted to be excised a few months ago on the basis of preop reports suggesting benign neurofibroma. But on present evaluation, a classical boggy, cystic, soft compressible swelling that tends to become prominent and tense with a valsalva menouvre was noted in the left supraclavicular fossa. Further, an USG Doppler & MRI confirmed beyond doubt to be a "venous malformation.". #Venousmalformations #ENTsurgeon #benignswellings #clinicalexamination
