    Abstract Introduction: Congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (CTTP), also called Upshaw-Schulman syndrome (USS), is a rare autosomal recessive disorder resulting from the deficiency of the ADAMTS13. CTTP is characterized by the formation of platelet-rich thrombi in small vessels of multiple organs, resulting in thrombocytopenia and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, eventually leading to organ failure.
    Case report: We present a case of an 11-month-old male infant with CTTP lacking classic features of the disease. Instead, his clinical picture portrayed vitamin B12 deficiency, leading to misdiagnosis and subsequent treatment delay.
    Conclusion: This case led to the conclusion that congenital TTP should be suspected in case of vitamin B12 deficiency if the child does not respond to the vitamin B12 replacement therapy. We also emphasize that management for CTTP should be started at its earliest in case of increased clinical suspicion to avoid worse outcomes, especially in countries lacking rapid availability of enzyme assay.

    Abstract Respected Editor, Depression is a widely prevalent and debilitating mood disorder affecting 44% of Pakistan’s entire population, with women affected twice as much as men [1]. It is characterized by persistent low mood, lack of interest, fatigability, worthlessness, and recurrent thoughts of suicide. At present, pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy are considered as gold standard modalities for treating depression. However, these therapies have shown reduction, but not absolute remission‎ [2]. Moreover, poor adherence to the aforementioned treatments due to side‐effects from medication and stigma attached to pursuing talking therapy suggests that alternative approaches need to be implemented urgently, either alone or in conjunction with traditional therapy. Music therapy is defined as a non-pharmacological means of treating depression using music or its elements to ameliorate the functioning of individuals with various somatic and psychological illnesses [3]. Evidence shows that music therapy has previously been used in a variety of ways as a part of a therapeutic regimen for people with depression and, thus, needs to be investigated further as a potential treatment option. Several studies including, a meta-analysis [4] and a Cochrane systemic review [5], identified that music therapy combined with treatment, as usual, is associated with improvement in mood and functional abilities that go beyond those found with standard care alone. Music therapy also appears to be a bettertolerated treatment option, as indicated by low drop-out rates as compared to those receiving conventional psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy. Along with major depressive disorder, individual music therapy also proved to be beneficial for people suffering from other mental illnesses such as anxiety accompanying depression, social anxiety, postpartum depression, dementia, and schizophrenia [6]. Music therapy uses a diverse variety of techniques. However, they can be classified broadly as 'Active', where people perform, improvise, or write music, ...

    Abstract An epidermal inclusion cyst is a benign lesion, frequently observed throughout the body. However, its presence in the retrorectal region is a rare occurrence. With a higher incidence in women and non-specific symptoms, these cysts are mostly an incidental finding. Here, we report a case of a 33-year-old female presenting with complaints of abdominal pain and sensation of incomplete and painful defecation. The patient's history revealed that a large pelvic cyst was found incidentally during her first cesarean section (CS) owing to an arrest in labor. A presumptive diagnosis of rectal duplication cyst was made based on digital rectal exam (DRE), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. For cyst removal, the patient underwent a midline laparotomy. A postoperative biopsy led to the confirmed diagnosis of the retrorectal epidermal inclusion cyst. On follow-up, our patient showed a smooth recovery without any complications. We conclude that when dealing with a pregnant woman with a pelvic mass, developmental cysts should always be kept in mind. Timely diagnosis and management of a retrorectal mass is essential for effective treatment and to prevent subsequent complications.
