A Rare Case Of Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava Discovered During An Intracardiac Echocardiography Procedure, Riddhi H. Patel, Bilal Ayub

North Texas Research Forum 2023

Background: Isolated persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC), also known as persistent left superior vena cava (SVC) with absent right SVC, affects 0.09-0.13% of the population. Right SVC is present in the majority of people with left SVC. Rarely, the right SVC may be missing. Here, we discuss a rare case of PLSVC found incidentally in a patient with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF).

Case: A 63-year-old female patient with a history of Paroxysmal Atrial flutter (AFL) and atrial fibrillation (AF) on apixaban, HTN, and HLD was brought to the electrophysiology lab for electrophysiology study (EPS) and AF/AFL ablation due to …

Rare Presentation Of Primary Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor Of The Femur In Neurofibromatosis-1, Akshaj Pole, Danielle Ford, Elizabeth Pollard

North Texas Research Forum 2023

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are rare sarcomas, most commonly seen in patients with Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), that are characterized as aggressive with high rate of local recurrence. Among NF1 patients, the risk of developing MNPSTs is approximately 8-13% over a lifetime. Primary MPNST is exceedingly rare, of which the vast majority are concentrated in the head and neck region. Here, we present a case of a 40-year-old male with NF1 who presented with a giant MPNST that originated in the right proximal femur. The mass was treated with complete surgical resection with right hip disarticulation. In a …

Von Gierke disease is an inherited Glycogen Storage disease - type 1 resulting from deficiencies in the specific enzymes glucose 6 phosphatase(1a), and/or glucose 6 phosphate translocase(1b) glycogen metabolism pathway. Von Gierke disease is commonly seen in the pediatric population and is known for his hepatic and renal manifestations. Here we discuss a rare case of Von Gierke’s disease causing some rare cardiac manifestations. 41yo M with PMHx significant for Von Gierke type 1a, HFrEF complicated by VT s/p ICD, HTN who presented for complaints of continued SOB with new muscle soreness. On arrival, lactic acid was elevated at 5.2, …

The Domino Effect: Spontaneous Abortions As A Sequela Of Eisenmenger Syndrome, Riddhiben Patel, Anas Hamadeh, Laura Montoya, Senthil Thambidorai

North Texas Research Forum 2023

Background: Eisenmenger's syndrome (ES) is a congenital cardiac abnormality in which a significant chronic left-to-right shunt results in pulmonary arterial hypertension and a reversal of the shunting direction. A woman with ES should ideally avoid conception given the increased risk of unexpected fetal demise and maternal mortality. Case: We present a case of a 35-year-old female patient G3, P0, at 9 weeks gestation with reported PMHx of erythrocytosis and spontaneous abortions who presented to the hospital with complaints of vaginal bleeding and worsening SOB. She was noted to have a Hct of 70 and a Hb of 23.8, with SaO2 …

Fever Of Unknown Origin Secondary To Staphylococcus Epidermidis Infective Endocarditis In A Patient With Aicardi Syndrome, Kimberly Sanchez Lopez, Elvis Caraballo Antonio, Gabriel Barciela Perez, Melanio J. Rodriguez, Yeissen Godinez

East Florida Research Day 2023

INTRODUCTION Aicardi syndrome is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder predominantly affecting females and characterized by agenesis of the corpus callosum, infantile spasms, and distinctive chorioretinal lacunae. We present the case of a 24-year-old female with a known history of Aicardi syndrome who presented with fever of unknown origin, ultimately attributed to Staphylococcus Epidermidis infective endocarditis involving a native valve.

CASE DESCRIPTION A 24-year-old female with a history significant for Aicardi syndrome and epilepsy presented to the emergency department for fever during the past week; her primary care physician sent her for outpatient blood work a few days prior, including blood culture, …

Comprehensive Care To Improve Quality Of Life: A Case Of Childhood Adrenoleukodystrophy, Miraal S. Dharamsi, Adrian A. Mejia, Cecilia De Vargas

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

The childhood cerebral form of adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) causes rapid demyelination of cerebral white matter and is clinically characterized by hyperactivity, emotional changes, and poor school performance, as well as progressive cognitive, visual, auditory, speech, and motor decline. While aggressive behavior is a known complication of ALD, treatment of the disease is limited. Moreover, behavioral management is not well described in the available literature, particularly from a psychiatric standpoint. In this case presentation, the patient’s parents reported significant agitation and aggression, which may have been secondary to verbal deficits, in addition to the general neuropathological implications of this disease. Although this …
