RESUMO
We present a 36-year-old immuno-compromised male with non-resolving pneumonia, who developed a broncho-pleuro-cutaneous fistula following a thoracoscopic biopsy, which was successfully managed with an ultrasound-guided blood patch placed over the bronchial defect. We discuss the mechanism by which this is presumed to close a fistula, thus justifying it as a cost effective and minimally invasive modality of treatment.

A 21-year-old man had a long-standing history of leg ulcers and hyperpigmention over the feet. Over a span of 8 months, he had an acute ischemic stroke followed by a basal ganglia hemorrhage. He was finally diagnosed with DADA2 syndrome after genetic sequencing. The implications of this new syndrome and its links to stroke in the young are presented in this article.
