This report presents two cases of late diagnosis of PSIS and a literature review of the relevant cases. The objective is to update data on such an uncommon syndrome to avoid the consequences of pituitary dysfunction including short stature, impaired cognitive function, negative impact on bone health, adrenal crises and delayed puberty.Case report: In this paper, we report on two cases of late diagnosis of PSIS with a history of growth hormone deficiency. The first case is a 21-year-old female presenting with generalized fatigability, dizziness and delayed puberty, while the second case is a 19-year-old female presenting with secondary amenorrhea. The hormonal profile of the first patient revealed panhypopituitarism; the second case had growth hormone deficiency subsequently had secondary hypogonadism with intact thyroid and adrenal functions. The diagnosis of PSIS was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and both cases were treated with hormone supplements. Progress was also tracked through planned follow-up sessions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case series of such late diagnosis PSIS from Saudi Arabia.Conclusion: The key message of this paper is that rare etiologies such as PSIS should be kept in mind, especially for young patients presenting with clinical evidence of pituitary hormonal deficiencies, and MRI should be considered to confirm diagnosis. The early diagnosis, hormonal replacement, and long-term follow-up are crucial to reducing negative impacts of pituitary hormonal deficiencies.","PeriodicalId":14337,"journal":{"name":"International Medical Case Reports Journal","volume":"18 ","pages":"345-354"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11932035/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143700437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This case report discusses a unique instance of postpartum CVT complicated by hemorrhagic infarction in a patient from Somalia.Case presentation: We report the case of a 35-year-old woman, gravida 9, para 8, who presented on the 13th postpartum day with right-sided weakness, seizures, and severe headache. Initially misdiagnosed as impending eclampsia due to the absence of hypertension and proteinuria, she underwent CT and MRI scans, revealing a significant superior sagittal sinus thrombosis with hemorrhagic infarction. The patient was treated in the ICU with increased intracranial pressure management, seizure prophylaxis, and anticoagulation therapy, resulting in substantial clinical improvement.Discussion: This case emphasizes the necessity of maintaining a high index of suspicion for CVT in postpartum women displaying neurological symptoms. Misdiagnosis can impede timely intervention, highlighting the need for access to advanced imaging and a multidisciplinary approach. Increasing awareness and training for healthcare providers are essential for timely diagnosis.Conclusion: The management of this case illustrates the importance of early recognition of CVT in the postpartum population. Enhancing diagnostic resources and treatment strategies, particularly in resource-limited settings, can significantly improve maternal health outcomes and reduce morbidity and mortality.","PeriodicalId":14337,"journal":{"name":"International Medical Case Reports Journal","volume":"18 ","pages":"355-365"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11930266/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143692105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The diagnosis and management of higher order pregnancy have abundant and complex challenges, especially in rural areas where antenatal care (ANC) is often inadequate. Late booking and low awareness of complications necessitates priority management and referral to a tertiary center for fetal medicine expertise. This is our experience managing a spontaneously conceived quadruplet pregnancy delivered prematurely in a low-resource setting.Case presentations: A 27-years-old primigravida of 7.5 months of gestation presented with preterm labor. Her membrane was intact, and she noted active fetal movements. Her history was notable due to her pregnancy being spontaneously conceived and that her antenatal consultations had mistakenly identified her pregnancy as a triplet pregnancy. At presentation, her fundal height was 49 cm, and her cervix was 5-6 cm dilated. As she was in active labor, she underwent an emergency caesarean section. Four neonates were delivered but only two were transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit due to infrastructure limitations. She made an uneventful recovery and was discharged 2 days later. However, only two of four neonates eventually survived. This quadruplet pregnancy signified the pertinent complications of multifetal pregnancy: misidentification of chorionicity; preterm delivery; and early neonatal deaths due to prematurity.Conclusion: Higher order pregnancies present their own challenges for diagnosis and treatment. Preterm delivery and its associated neonatal complications are well-known complications, and a multidisciplinary management is crucial.","PeriodicalId":14337,"journal":{"name":"International Medical Case Reports Journal","volume":"18 ","pages":"325-332"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11910030/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143648207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In cases with extensive cutaneous lesions, heat therapy can be used as an adjuvant to systemic antifungal therapy. This case report aimed to demonstrate the efficacy of heat therapy using an electric heating pad as an adjuvant to itraconazole in the treatment of extensive chromoblastomycosis. A 60-year-old immunocompetent male presented with ten-year history of extensive verrucous erythematous plaques with atrophic central lesions located in the right arm. Histology and mycological examination from a direct smear and skin biopsy revealed muriform cells and pathognomonic chromoblastomycosis. Cultures grew dark-pigmented colonies, yielding Fonsecaea spp. A combination therapy of itraconazole 400 mg daily and topical heat therapy using an electric heating pad resulted in clinical improvement during the first month of treatment. Heat therapy can be administered as an adjuvant to systemic antifungal therapy because of its fungistatic and fungicidal effects, and its ability to enhance the patient's immune response. The selection of a suitable heat therapy device is crucial for improving the success of therapy. In this case, the patient demonstrated significant improvement in cutaneous lesions after one month of combination therapy with itraconazole and heat therapy. Electric heating pads are a good choice for topical heat therapy because of their stable temperature, availability, affordability, and ease of use. Heat therapy using electric heating pads is an effective adjuvant to systemic antifungal therapy in the treatment of extensive chromoblastomycosis.","PeriodicalId":14337,"journal":{"name":"International Medical Case Reports Journal","volume":"18 ","pages":"315-320"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11899887/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143615549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
