Factor XIII (FXIII) is a plasma proenzym, which stabilizers fibrin clots and plays key role in hemostasis. Here we report a case of acquired FXIII deficiency caused by FXIII inhibitor, which is rare and pathogenisis is still unknown. Experience of treatment is limited to data from case reports. Immunosuppressive drugs may be used to reduce the inhibitors and may have been of benefit in this patient.

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrythmia. Treatment is multi-modal including medical management and more aggressive treatment including surgery and radiofrequency ablation. We report here a case of a 55 year old man who developed an esophageal ulcer related to treatment of atrial fibrillation by cryoablation.

Spigelian hernias, rare defects in the abdominal wall, manifest at the semilunar line lateral to the rectus abdominis muscle. Situated amidst the muscular layers of the abdominal wall, they may escape detection due to abdominal obesity.

A 42-year-old female with abdominal pain and on anticoagulation presented with an acute Rectus Sheath Hematoma (RSH), a rare abdominal pathology. Point-of-Care Ultrasonography (POCUS) was performed at the bedside, revealing a hypoechoic lesion in the left rectus sheath causing mass effect, consistent with RSH.

Myxoedema coma is a critical and potentially fatal condition occurring in untreated or undetected hypothyroidism. It is characterized by systemic organ failure and deteriorating cognitive function. This report outlines a case involving a young male presenting with disturbed consciousness, lowered body temperature, and slow heart rate.

Metformin is widely recognized as the first-line therapy for type 2 diabetes due to its low cost, safety profile, and potential cardiovascular benefits. However, complications of its use may occur in daily clinical practice, including lactic acidosis, which, although rare, is characterized by relatively high mortality.

Induction of multiple eruptive cutaneous nevi has been frequently reported in children with hematologic malignancies and chemotherapy-induced immunosuppression. This is the first report of an adult female patient developing multiple eruptive melanocytic skin lesions while undergoing chemotherapy for metastatic melanoma.

Silver nitrate cauterization is the conventional treatment for peritoneal dialysis catheter exit-site granulomas. Plasma-Ion Pen is a new technique that takes advantage of Plasma radiofrequency ablation and consists of generating plasma energy through the production of ionized energy. These devices are currently very popular on the market at a very low price.

Cesarean section is a crucial part of birth care that may save lives, but it can also perform unintended consequences, they include sepsis, hematoma, uterine dehiscence, and post-cesarean wound infection. These consequences can be diagnosis by radiological examinations such as Computed Tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography.

The vertebral arteries are the main source of blood supply to the structures within the posterior fossa. Vertebral Artery Hypoplasia (VAH) is defined as a condition where there is a difference of more than 2 mm in the diameter of the vertebral arteries at the V4 segment [1]. The concept of regional hypoperfusion is associated with unilateral VAH and posterior circulation stroke [2].
