Duodenal Intussusception Secondary to a Duodenal Polyp: A Case Report and Literature Review
A 25-year-old male, with no co-morbidities, presented in out-patient department with a complaint of episodic early post-prandial colicky upper abdominal pain for one year associated with vomiting of gastric contents. Contrast-enhanced abdominal CT and upper GI contrast study revealed a polyp in the second part of duodenum (D2) causing intussusception. Wedge resection of that segment was done in addition to polypectomy. The postoperative course was unremarkable.
Duodenal intussusception is exceptionally rare and often associated with intestinal malrotation or pre-existing pathologies like tumors. In adults, over 90% of cases result from underlying conditions, with tumors being the leading cause. Proper surveillance is crucial due to their association with tumor predisposition syndromes.
Intestinal obstruction secondary to duodenal intussusception due to duodenal polyp is rare. Clinical presentation and management vary amongst patients. It is often diagnosed via CT and upper GI contrast studies. Polypectomy or wedge resection and anastomosis of the involved segment can be undertaken
Approach to Tongue Hyperpigmentation in General Practice: Pigmented Fungiform Papillae and Complexion-Associated Melanosis in a Young Pakistani Female
Hyperpigmentation in exposed areas like the tongue and conjunctiva can pose diagnostic challenges in general practice, ranging from serious conditions to benign, aesthetic concerns. This case report examines a 21-year-old female with concurrent benign hyperpigmentation of the tongue and conjunctiva. A thorough evaluation ruled out extrinsic causes and systemic illnesses, leading to the diagnosis of Pigmented Fungiform Papillae (PFP) on the tongue and Complexion Associated Melanosis (CAM) in the conjunctiva. Due to the absence of concerning features, biopsy was deferred in favor of routine surveillance. An inquiry into the potential association between hyperpigmentation and conditions such as anemia and vitamin D deficiency revealed no definitive connection, as correcting these deficiencies did not resolve the hyperpigmentation. This case underscores the importance of recognizing benign hyperpigmentation to avoid unnecessary procedures and emphasizes a cost-effective, patient-centered approach
Artificial intelligence in Anatomy: Potential uses and challenges
AI is the name of advance technology that enables machines to simulate human intelligence and behavior which has already been used and will continue in future as well to transform whole generation. It is widely opted not only in industrial level but also in large number used in educational purpose and in research.There are large number of benefits to incorporate AI in anatomy for in depth- learning, distance teaching, quick feedback from students, engagement of students in large as well as in small group teaching sessions through digital 3D anatomy for hidden structures, interactive teaching educational tool
