    Abstract Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD) is an immune-mediated neuroinflammatory disease of the central nervous system. Patients typically present with sensory deficits, weakness, and incontinence. This is a case of a 43-year-old female with diabetes mellitus admitted for acute onset leg weakness and stool incontinence. Spinal MRI imaging revealed transverse myelitis, and her lab work was significant for an anti-aquaporin 4 (AQP4) antibody titer of 1:2,560. Initial treatment consisted of a high-dose steroid taper and plasmapheresis. This unique case illustrates the importance in recognizing delayed presentations of rare neuroinflammatory conditions previously assumed to be a sequela of diabetic neuropathy.

    Abstract Pancreatic panniculitis (PP) is a rare variant of panniculitis that affects patients with pancreatic disorders, most commonly pancreatic malignancy or acute/chronic pancreatitis. Patients often present with painful, erythematous nodules on their lower extremities that may undergo spontaneous ulceration and necrosis. Treatment is largely supportive and should address the underlying pancreatic disease.

    Abstract Co-occurrence of pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum is rare in COVID-19 patients. Positive airway pressure therapy used to improve oxygenation may sometimes worsen clinical outcomes in some patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia. In this case report, we describe an individual who was diagnosed with COVID-19 and developed bilateral pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum after initiating non-invasive positive airway pressure therapy.

    Abstract Hyperinflammation is a key component of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and is associated with poor outcomes. It is imperative to distinguish severe COVID-19 from hyperinflammatory syndromes such as multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS) and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. There is a subset of post-COVID-19 patients who present with some symptoms characteristic of MIS in adults (MIS-A) yet do not meet all the criteria for a diagnosis. We describe the unique case of a patient with this kind of presentation who clinically improved following tocilizumab and corticosteroid usage.

    Abstract Cryptococcosis is a global invasive mycosis, commonly encountered in patients with HIV/AIDS with low CD4 counts, diabetics, organ and stem-cell transplant recipients, malignancies, and other patients with immunosuppression. The presentation depends on which organ is usually involved although multi-organ involvement may be present. Here, we describe a young female with an enlarging flank mass, found to have disseminated cryptococcosis in the setting of immunosuppression.
