Introduction: Ovarian torsion is a rare gynecological emergency that can result in permanent ovarian loss if not promptly recognized and managed. Cases involving multiple rotations of the ovary are highly unusual and pose a significant risk for ovarian viability. Clinical Description: A 33-year-old P2 woman presented with sudden severe lower abdominal pain. Imaging showed a complex midline adnexal mass, more towards left and mild free fluid with suspected torsion. Emergency laparotomy showed a sixfold torsion of the right ovary with a dermoid cyst. Detorsion and cystectomy were performed with preservation of the ovary. Postoperative recovery was uneventful and histopathology further confirmed a benign dermoid cyst. Discussion: Ovarian torsion with multiple rotations is extremely rare so early recognition and timely surgical intervention enable ovarian salvage even in severe cases. Moreover, Dermoid cysts are the most common predisposing factor. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of prompt diagnosis and immediate management of ovarian torsion to prevent complications, preserve ovarian integrity and fertility.

Introduction: Colorectal cancer during pregnancy is a complex and rare condition often presenting with benign gastrointestinal symptoms that overlap with normal pregnancy related changes, leading to delayed or misdiagnosis. Further, hepatic metastases may complicate recognition, especially when initially interpreted as benign lesions such as hemangiomas. So, early identification and management are crucial and remain challenging for optimizing maternal and fetal outcomes. Clinical Description: A case of 39-year-old gravida 5 para 4 at 24 weeks+1 day with chronic hypothyroidism, longstanding anemia and a one year history of epigastric + right upper quadrant pain with suspected hemorrhage from a known liver hemangioma. Further imaging suggested a malignant hepatic lesion where colonoscopy and biopsy confirmed stage IV metastatic colon adenocarcinoma with liver and adrenal metastases. Her condition deteriorated and delivered a stillborn infant at 26 weeks of 780 grams following placental abruption. She continued to decline despite supportive care and died. Conclusion: This case illustrates the diagnostic challenges of colorectal cancer in pregnancy where nonspecific symptoms and inaccurate imaging results contributed to delayed diagnosis. The aggressive nature of the disease emphasizes the importance of prompt diagnosis and integrated care approach to improve both maternal and fetal outcome.

Rabies is a virus present in more than 150 nations and territories worldwide, but it can be prevented through vaccination. Each year, tens of thousands of people die from rabies, primarily in Asia and Africa, with children under the age of 15 representing 40% of these fatalities. Up to 99% of rabies transmissions to humans occur through dog bites, making dogs the leading cause of rabies-related deaths in humans. We present a fatal case of rabies after a 5-month exposure incident. The patient, a 55-year-old Nigerian missionary from Enugu state, Nigeria presented with restlessness, hydrophobia, occasional barking gestures, abdominal discomfort and agitation. His condition was said to have progressively worsened as patients was unable to eat and drink fluids for days. His wife reported that the patient had experienced a bite from a stray dog on his right arm 5 months before presentation, for which no antirabies prophylaxis was given. The patient died on the second day of admission to the hospital (within 7 days of symptom onset).

The deleterious health effects of ethanol abuse are widely known and a diversity of medical conditions appear with excessive consumption. Acute and chronic abuse have different clinical characteristics, although severe intoxications are rare among alcoholics of a long career, where the systemic complications will dominate the symptomatology. While the medical focus acutely will mostly stay on the nervous and circulatory effects, gastrointestinal complications that will come up chronically (liver, pancreas, bowel dysfunction) need proper consideration. Ethanol will affect gastrointestinal functionality through a triple action, directly on the epithelial cell and the secretory activity, by altering the motility and in the long-term scope, through promoting carcinogenesis. Medical teams dealing with acute and chronic ethanol intoxication or abuse must be aware of the multiple effects it shows, and perform a prompt diagnosis as well as appropriate intervention.
