Fungal ball in concha bullosa as incidentaloma: A case report and the review of the literature.

Concha bullosa is an anatomic variant consisting in an enlargement and pneumatization of the middle nasal turbinate. A fungal ball (FB) localized in this structure is an extremely rare disease. This article describes the unusual case of a young patient with an asymptomatic fungal mass in the concha bullosa, incidentally discovered at computed tomography (CT) scan of the head, which was performed after trauma.

Non-invasive treatment of the sigmoid volvulus. A pediatric case report.

Sigmoid volvulus occurs when the sigmoid colic loop gets wrapped around its own mesocolon. While this condition is categorized as an extremely rare emergency in the pediatric population, diagnosis is often difficult due to the fact that its aspecific manifestations or sneaky symptoms are similar to other medical conditions. The available treatment options remain controversial up to this day, and the non-operative approach is more preferred in treating hemodynamic stable patients. This paper examines the case study of a 13-year-old girl suffering from sigmoid volvulus, who was treated with water-soluble contrast enema, in order to determine whether this method is efficient and effective in successfully treating the pathology of this condition.
