The case of 9 patients reported in the context of the health alert due to the increase in cases of Monkeypox virus infection in the world in non-endemic countries is presented. It is important to know in a practical way the most important epidemiological and clinical criteria that make us think about ruling out Monkeypox in the current context of transmission in Peru. The characteristics of the confirmed cases are discussed versus those of other diseases that are part of the differential diagnosis such as chickenpox, hand-foot-mouth syndrome, etc.

ABSTRACT Pilocytic astrocytoma is a glioma-like neoplasm, slow growing and with little risk of tumor progression. Its course with hydranencephaly is not described to our knowledge in the Colombian literature. We describe the case of a pediatric patient with the presence of convulsive neurological symptoms with a history of tuberous sclerosis which will be a key determinant in the relationship between the relationship between astrocytoma preceded by hydranencephaly, since they include genetic aberrant mechanisms for the development of the latter. The clinical outcome of the patient was purely palliative. Keywords: Astrocytoma; Juvenile Pilocytic Astrocytoma; Pilocytic Astrocytoma; Hydranencephaly; Hemihydranencephalies; Congenital Absence of Cerebral Hemispheres

We present the case of a 5-year-old male patient with a medical history of recurrent bronchospasms since 3 months . He went to the pediatric allergy clinic at the Edgardo Rebagliati Martins National Hospital with his mother, who reported episodes of acute urticaria, one after consuming cooked pork and another 2 after consuming cooked beef. To the evaluation, non-contributory exam. The following tests were performed: specific IgE in vitro, where a positive result was obtained for pork albumin (26.6 KUA/L) and later skin tests, with a positive result for raw pork. Due to the appearance of lesions only after the consumption of cooked mammalian meat, alpha-gal syndrome was suspected and specific IgE testing against alpha-gal was requested through an external laboratory, which came back positive (>100 kU/L).

We report the first successful case of fetal surgery for spina bifida repair in Peru. A pregnant woman was referred to our center at 23 weeks of gestation because of prenatal diagnosis of spina bifida. A multidisciplinary team was formed with the goal of performing the first open intrauterine surgery in Peru. A successful intrauterine surgery was carried out at 25 weeks of gestation and a healthy infant was born by cesarean section at 37 weeks of gestation. We demonstrated the feasibility of this complex intrauterine surgery in our local setting.

Fetus in fetu is a rare condition, which has fewer than 200 cases reported to date. It is mainly located in the retro peritoneum; but it can occur at other levels. Treatment is always surgical and early detection and extraction allows clinical improvement and the successful development of the affected child. We report the case of an 18 month infant who is carried by her mother to medical appointment due to low weight for that age. In the physical exam, doctor found mass in the left hypochondrium and epigastrium and a total abdominal ultrasound is requested. Ultrasound reports findings relating to right hydronephrosis, and excretory urography and a CT with contrast reveals fetus parasite located in retro peritoneum. The infant is taken to surgery for lysis of peritoneal adhesions, resection of retroperitoneal tumor, and ureterolysis nephropexy. After this, the infant presented good evolut...

Background. Cervical ectopic pregnancy is the implantation of the embryo in the lining of the endocervical canal lining. It represents less than 1% of all ectopic pregnancies. Case description: We report two patients who come to the emergency room for transvaginal bleeding. The diagnosis of cervical ectopic pregnancy was made by transvaginal ultrasound (7- and 8-weeks' gestation). Treatment was started with methotrexate (28-year-old patient) and methotrexate-folinic acid (35-year-old patient). Due to the increase in human chorionic gonadotropin hormone, it was decided to perform an abdominal hysterectomy (28-year-old patient) and McDonald-type cervical curettage-cerclage (35-year-old patient). There were no complications after surgery in both patients. Conclusions: The treatment of cervical ectopic pregnancy is controversial. The most appropriate therapy should be chosen to preserv...

Background: Case reports and case series are essential sources of knowledge; however, they only provide low-quality scientific evidence. These studies are common in the medical field because they allow to formulate new hypotheses and to report new and rare pathologies in a structured way and complications or adverse drug events. Hence, the primary objective of a case report or case series is contributing to the scientific knowledge. To publishing these studies, it is recommended to follow the CARE statement's recommendations to guarantee a structured report with a minimum of pertinent and relevant information to make a clear and precise interpretation of the findings. This review aims to provide a scientific writing guide for case reports and case series and maximize their publicity in indexed peer-reviewed journals.

Infectious sacroiliitis is a rare condition that is sometimes diagnosed late due to the poor specificity of the symptoms. In addition, imaging techniques such as scintigraphy, tomography, and nuclear magnetic resonance are required to assess the extent and severity of the lesions. If early diagnosis and treatment are made, the clinical evolution is satisfactory and leaves no sequelae. Clinical case: the case of an 83-year-old female patient is presented, with a history of ischemic cerebrovascular disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes mellitus and urinary tract infection, who presented with moderately intense colic-like abdominal pain, afebrile, and reported that at the time After getting up from his chair he felt weakness in his left side. On admission, hypertensive, febrile with T°: 38°C SatO2: 98% with FiO2: 0.4. On physical examination, there was edema in MMII with pitting (...

Introduction: Hepatic ectopic pregnancy (HEP) is an extraordinarily rare form of extrauterine implantation, associated with a high risk of hemorrhagic complications and maternal mortality. Case presentation: This case illustrates the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of a 30-year-old patient with complicated HEP. The diagnosis was confirmed through abdominal ultrasound, revealing a viable fetus implanted in the right hepatic lobe. Due to hemodynamic instability, an urgent laparotomy was performed with hepatic resection and in situ management of the placenta, combined with methotrexate therapy to prevent complications related to residual placental tissue. Conclusion: The reported experience underscores the importance of early diagnosis using advanced imaging and a multidisciplinary approach to reduce morbidity and mortality in critical conditions. It provides key evidence f...
