    Abstract Salmonella osteomyelitis is an underdiagnosed pathology with unusual clinical presentations. The patient was a 24-year-old female with no previous medical history who presented to the emergency department with progressive pain in the left arm for several months. She was initially treated unsuccessful with augmentin for 7 days for suspicious cellulites. Standard elbow X-rays described a lesion initially considered as metastatic. Investigations were completed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compatible with osteomyelitis. Following surgical sampling, salmonella enterica infection was diagnosed. The patient recovered full use of her limb after 8 days of IV antibiotic therapy with third-generation cephalosporin, and she completed 11 weeks of antibiogram-targeted PO fluoroquinolone therapy. Salmonella osteomyelitis could mimic other diseases, making diagnosis difficult.
    Learning points: A poor response to treatment should raise questions about the initial diagnosis.Isolated metastatic lesions in the upper limbs are rare and require proper clinical and radiological evaluation to arrive at a correct diagnosis.

    Title translation Floating thrombus in the aortic arch, a rare cause of lower limb ischemia.
    Abstract Acute arterial occlusion of the lower limbs is a medical and surgical emergency due to its morbi-mortality. We present the case of a 59-year-old man admitted to the emergency department for acute and diffuse pain in the left lower limb caused by extensive obstructive clots in the arteries of this limb. Since atheromatous cause was unlikely after angioscopy of the lower limbs, a cardiac origin was suspected. Echocardiogram was normal, however, thoracic angiotomography revealed a floating thrombus in the aortic arch. The patient was treated surgically with placement of an aortic endoprosthesis without complications.

    Title translation Long COVID, diagnosis and management : a survey among general practitioners in the Bas Rhin in France.
    Abstract The long COVID includes non-specific symptoms affecting patients of all ages.
    Methods: Monocentric, prospective, quantitative and descriptive study interested in comparing the knowledge of general practitioners in Alsace (France) with the positioning and recommendations of the World Health Organisation (WHO) on long COVID in the period November 2022-February 2023. A multiple-choice questionnaire was elaborated based on the WHO positioning and recommendations on the long COVID.
    Results: 126 questionnaires were received, 65 (51.6 %) women, 42 % aged between 25-35 years. 84.9 % had knowledge about long COVID. The need for an impact on daily life, unexplained symptomatology and symptoms persisting at two months were criteria retained (84.9 %, 91.3 % and 82.5 %, respectively). A history of anxiety disorders (86.5 %) and severe acute forms of COVID-19 (57.9 %) were considered as risk factors. Fatigue, dyspnea, joint pain, headache and cough were associated with long COVID in 65.9 % of responders. About 74,6 % performed a complete blood test, 96.03 % recommended rehabilitation, 76.2 % referred to the pulmonologist and 71.4 % were in favour of a consensus document.
    Conclusions: General practitioners are aware of the existence of long COVID as a pathology and agree with the recommendations of scientific societies, among which those of WHO. However, this study has some limitations so that this topic deserves further dedicated investigations.

    Abstract We report a case of anti-HMGCR myopathy mimicking limb-girdle muscular dystrophy in a 27-year-old male patient with no history of statin intake and presenting with a chronic onset form over 3 years. Treatment with prednisone and methotrexate was initiated with an insufficient response, so intravenous immunoglobulin was added. One year after initial treatment was started, as levels of creatine kinase (CK) were >1000 U/l, treatment with rituximab was added. Despite a 3-year delay before treatment, muscle strength improved even though CK levels remain elevated.
    Learning points: We describe a case of anti-HMGCR myopathy mimicking limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, which resulted in delayed diagnosis and management.The patient's muscular strength improved but creatine kinase levels remain elevated despite comprehensive treatment.

    Abstract An 80-year-old patient was admitted to the internal medicine department for binocular diplopia and hearing loss with sudden onset. The patient had presented with SARS-CoV-2 infection 3 weeks previously and had been admitted to hospital. Complete work-up including autoimmunity, serum and LCR viral serology and MRI did not allow a diagnosis to be established. The hypothesis of a microvascular origin or the previous SARS-CoV-2 infection was considered. The latter was retained in light of the temporal relationship, the absence of other pathologies after exhaustive work-up, and the clinical evolution.
    Learning points: A temporal relationship between SARS-CoV-2 infection and symptoms in the absence of other pathologies is important for diagnosis.Mid or long-term follow-up is necessary in patients with unexplained symptoms after SARS-CoV-2 infection.

    Title translation Emphysematous cystitis: an uncommon cause of abdominal pain.
    Abstract An 82-year-old woman with a previous medical history of hypertension and hypothyroidism was admitted to the emergency department for abdominal pain, diarrhea, confusion and changes in her overall condition over several days. At the emergency department, the patient was febrile and her blood tests showed elevated C-reactive protein without leukocytosis (8.9 × 10^9/L). In the current context, a nasopharyngeal swab for SARS was performed and was negative. With these results, the initial suspicion was that of an infectious condition of gastrointestinal origin. The urine sample was oul-smelling with presence of leukocytes and nitrites and was sent out for culture. In the setting of probable urinary tract infection, empirical antibiotic treatment was started with a third generation cephalosporin. It was decided to perform a total body scanner in order to evaluate the presence of other infectious foci. The study described the presence of emphysematous cystitis, a rare pathology in a patient without any of the classic risk factors for this entity. Urine and blood cultures were positive for Escherichia coli sensitive to the empiric antibiotic which was continued to complete 7 days. The clinical course was favorable.

    Title translation Spontaneous non-traumatic splenic rupture as a presentation form of light chain amyloidosis. Report of one case.
    Abstract We report a 35-year-old sportive man who was admitted to the emergency department for worsening of acute spontaneous abdominal pain appearing at rest. He only referred having lifted a tree trunk the day before, but he was used to perform such physical efforts. The clinical course at the emergency department was marked by the development of severe anemia secondary to a progressive splenic hematoma and acute pulmonary distress. The patient benefited from total splenectomy. Laboratory data showed hypogammaglobulinemia, proteinuria and the anatomopathological examinations of both spleen and kidneys were consistent with light chain amyloidosis.

    Abstract We report on a 70-year-old male patient admitted to the internal medicine department for evaluation of a right cervical mass. He had been treated with antibiotics as an outpatient by his primary care doctor. Upon admission the patient was asymptomatic, but within a few hours his cervical mass enlarged; this enlargement was confined to the right sternocleidomastoid muscle. Complete blood investigations including serology and autoimmunity were negative. The neck scan and MRI were in favour of myositis. No other lesions were found either in the nasal fibre-optic exam or in the thoracic-abdominal-pelvic scan. The biopsy of the muscle showed a lymphoplasmacytic inflammatory infiltrate of the perimysium. The diagnosis of focal myositis was made. The patient clinically improved during hospitalisation with complete resolution of symptoms without any specific intervention.
    Learning points: A thorough clinical examination is essential in the evaluation and characterisation of cervical masses.The diagnostic approach must be rigorous in order not to ignore potentially serious diseases.A high level of clinical suspicion is needed in the diagnosis of focal myositis.

    Abstract A 75-year-old woman with a history of chronic hydrocephalus due to stenosis of the aqueduct of Sylvius was examined at the emergency department for altered mental status. There was placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt in 1970 complicated by meningitis, leading to removal of the material and ventriculociternostomy as definitive treatment in 2004. About one month previously, she had undergone a laparoscopic cholecystectomy complicated by an intra-abdominal collection. Clinical examination at the emergency department revealed a Glasgow score of 8 (E3 V1 M4). In the emergency department the patient presented a tonic-clonic seizure before a cerebral CT scan was performed showing a massive compressive pneumocephalus, then a second seizure. The patient was finally admitted to the neurosurgery department and underwent surgery.
    Learning points: Changes in mental status in a patient with a history of chronic hydrocephalus should alert clinicians to a possible complication.This case reflects the delayed diagnosis of a critically ill patient in the emergency department.
