RESUMEN
Hamartomas are non-neoplastic tissue abnormalities commonly found in various organs but rarely in the upper aerodigestive tract. Respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma (REAH) is a rare benign proliferation affecting the nasal cavity and sinonasal tract. It often mimics other nasal masses, leading to diagnostic challenges. We present the case of a 25-year-old female with recurrent epistaxis and chronic bilateral nasal obstruction. Diagnostic endoscopy revealed a polypoidal mass, later confirmed as REAH through histopathological examination. CT scans demonstrated soft tissue opacity but no erosion of surrounding bony structures. The patient underwent endoscopic excision, and the excised mass exhibited characteristic histological features of REAH. Endoscopic excision with careful postoperative follow-up can lead to successful outcomes in REAH cases. A year of follow-up revealed no recurrence.
RESUMEN
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a novel infectious disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). This disease caused one of the largest pandemics in human history. During the second COVID-19 surge, the Indian government faced the threat posed by the growing COVID-19 pandemic by informing citizens and encouraging the use of preventive measures such as face masks, hand sanitization, personal protective equipment, quarantines, and vaccination. Vaccination is an effective prophylactic intervention in public health, and COVID-19 vaccines have been developed to achieve immunity against viruses and stop the transmission of infection. However, vaccines have side effects, and by early 2021, many doubts arose regarding COVID-19 vaccinations. Few people were not taking immunization because post-immunization adverse events were reported. We are reporting a case of seizures after immunization with Covaxin.
