North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

Extracranial carotid artery aneurysm is a rare sequela of atherosclerosis, trauma, and conditions of chronic inflammation. Standard treatments include antiplatelet medications, open resection, or endovascular stenting. Transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) has become a well-recognized alternative treatment in the past few decades. This case study documents the first reported case of Horner’s syndrome post-TCAR for an internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysm. A 68 year-old male with intermittent double vision was referred to vascular surgery clinic with brain CT angiography showing a 9mm saccular aneurysm with dissection flap of the right cervical ICA. Prior attempts by neuro-interventional radiology were unsuccessful due to …

IE is a rare fatal disease with an incidence rate of 3 to 10 cases per 100,000 people, predominantly in males over the age of 50 years in developed countries. Septic emboli are a serious sequelae of infective endocarditis with commonly affecting brain, spleen, kidneys, and lung. Usually, initial management includes tapered long term antibiotics with surgical evaluation for possible valve …

A Bullous Eruption In An 81-Year-Old Male, Garrett S. Furth, Christian J. Scheufele, Carlos S. Bahrami, Stephen E. Weis

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

INTRODUCTION: When a patient presents with a blistering rash arriving at the diagnosis can seem overwhelming. Bullous Pemphigoid (BP) is the most common autoimmune blistering disease and tends to affect older individuals, with a mean age of presentation of eighty. It is caused by antibodies targeting the basement membrane zone, the structure between epidermis and dermis, specifically affecting the BP180 (Type-XVII collagen) and BP230 (a plakin) proteins. Antibody-antigen complexes lead to complement activation and destruction of these transmembrane proteins, causing separation of the epidermis and dermis, and formation of tense, subepidermal blisters and bullae. Identification of key clinical features and …

Introduction: Intussusception of the appendix is an exceedingly rare pathology with an incidence of 0.01%.

Case Summary: Patient is a 55 y/o female with appendiceal intussusception on CT and endoscopy. She was admitted for elective laparoscopic appendectomy, a distorted area involving the cecum and terminal ileum was identified. Procedure was converted to an open ileocolic resection due to the unclear anatomy and concern for possible malignancy. An intraoperative consultation revealed an inverted appendix.

Recurrent Non-Sustained Ventricular Tachycardias In A Patient With Suspicion Of Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy: A Case Report, Chinar Singh, Meng Xie, Poonam Choudhry, Asif Jawaid

East Florida Division GME Research Day 2024

Objective: This case study aims to highlight the mechanisms, clinical presentation, diagnostic strategies, and management approach utilized for recurrent non-sustained ventricular tachycardias in a patient with suspected cardiac amyloidosis.

Background: Amyloidosis is a group of disorders characterized by the abnormal deposition of amyloid proteins in tissues and organs throughout the body. These proteins aggregate into insoluble fibrils that disrupt normal cellular function, leading to a range of clinical manifestations depending on the affected organs. Cardiac amyloidosis is characterized by the deposition of amyloid fibrils specifically in the myocardial tissue, leading to restrictive cardiomyopathy, progressive heart failure and arrhythmias. Ventricular tachycardia …

Primary Squamous Cell Carcinoma (Scc) Of The Sigmoid Colon: A Rare Location & Histological Subtype Of Colorectal Carcinoma (Crc), Astrid Sacasa, Stachyse Stanis, Mohtashim Naeem

East Florida Division GME Research Day 2024

Introduction. Primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the colon is a rare histological subtype of CRC with poor prognosis. It most frequently occurs in the right colon, and least commonly in the sigmoid colon. Similar CRC symptoms no matter the subtype can range from asymptomatic to rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, change in bowel habits, and weight loss. Here, we describe a case of primary basaloid SCC of the sigmoid colon.

Case description. A 71-year-old female with no significant past medical history presented with guaiac-positive stools, underwent a colonoscopy revealing an ulcerated mass in the left colon. Histopathology and immunohistochemical results …

Spinal Pilomyxoid Astrocytoma In A 17-Month-Old Twin, Gul Emek Wymer, Chamyan Gabriel, Robert Bender, Susana Ferra

East Florida Division GME Research Day 2024

Introduction: A pilomyxoid astrocytoma is a rare type of brain tumor that primarily affects young children, typically arising in the hypothalamic-suprasellar region of the brain. Unlike pilocytic astrocytoma, PMA is characterized by a more aggressive clinical course and distinct histopathological features, including a monomorphic cell population, angiocentric arrangement, and a myxoid background.

Case presentation: A 17 months old patient with a history of twin to twin transfusion was brought to the hospital with a complaint of motor regression, compared to his twin. The CT and MRI images revealed an intradural intramedullary spinal mass. The mass tissue biopsy was sent to …
