    Abstract We present the case of a 41-year-old man with Rapp-Hodgkin syndrome who underwent nasal septum deviation surgery under general anaesthesia. This syndrome is rare, with approximately 70 cases reported worldwide. It is one of a group of ectodermal dysplasia syndromes and results from the aberrant development of ectoderm during fetal development. Some of the clinical features may affect anaesthetic management. The most important considerations are potentially difficult airway management, the need for meticulous temperature control, and the importance of skin protection. This case was uneventful, but as there are few case reports on the management of patients with ectodermal dysplasia syndromes undergoing anaesthesia this report contributes useful knowledge. The pathogenesis and clinical features of Rapp-Hodgkin syndrome and the anaesthetic management for this patient are described.

    Abstract Ketamine has been used in the treatment of several pain syndromes, particularly those with a relevant neuropathic component. Sub-anesthetic doses of ketamine produce a potent analgesic effect, due to its inhibition of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors and enhancement of descending inhibitory pathways. Its short-term analgesic effect is well-documented perioperatively, with an associated reduction in postoperative chronic pain and opioid consumption. Despite some evidence regarding its long-term benefits, the number of clinical studies is still limited. In addition to its analgesic effects, ketamine also possesses an anti-depressive action, which might be useful in the treatment of chronic pain patients. Several side effects have been described, the psychomimetic ones being the most relevant due to their impact on treatment adhesion. At present, co-administration of ketamine and benzodiazepines or α2-agonists facilitates its clinical application. Despite current evidence and increasing use, further investigation is still needed regarding its long-term safety profile and clearer risk-benefit analysis.

    Abstract A 50-year-old woman with a history of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and ascending aorta dissection was referred for endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) for suspected choledocholithiasis. Twelve years earlier she had undergone a Bentall-de Bone procedure and 7 years earlier a thoracic aorta aneurysm (TAA) was repaired with an endovascular prosthesis. EUS confirmed choledocholithiasis, however a large aneurysm (60 mm of diameter), was incidentally detected at the distal end of the aortic endoprosthesis. Computed tomography (CT) later confirmed the aneurysm, extending 4.5 cm above the renal arteries. The patient underwent a successful new endovascular repair. This rare incidental finding underscores the usefulness of a systematic approach when performing EUS, enabling the detection of significant abnormalities beyond the initial indication and allowing for early intervention in TTA patients.

    Abstract Anesthetic dilemmas are not rare in daily practice. Frequently, patients present with comorbid conditions that make general anesthesia risky (e.g., difficult airway and severe pulmonary dysfunction) and contraindications to neuraxial anesthesia at the same time. Reports on the successful anesthetic management of these patients can provide useful information. We report a case of a patient with severe hemodynamic instability who underwent spinal anesthesia for surgical hip debridement. General anesthesia and airway manipulation were avoided because the patient had recently recovered from SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia amid the first wave of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic when very little was known about the disease and no ventilators were available for postoperative care. We explain in detail the continuous spinal anesthesia technique using a conventional epidural catheter and prophylactic norepinephrine when cardiovascular instability was the major concern.

    Abstract Introduction: Malignant biliary obstruction drainage is essential, since jaundice is associated with morbidity and mortality. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the recommended procedure for biliary drainage, with percutaneous biliary drainage being the classic alternative in cases of unsuccessful ERCP. Recently, endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage has been emerged as a new option, with EUS-guided choledochoduodenostomy (EUS-CDS) being considered an effective and safe method in the drainage of distal obstructions of the common bile duct.
    Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of EUS-CDS performed in patients with distal malignant biliary obstructions, after failed ERCP.
    Methods: Single-center retrospective cohort study between July 2017 and June 2022 including all consecutive patients submitted to EUS-CDS in our center. The primary outcomes were "technical success" and "clinical success," defined as "resolution of jaundice or improvement in total serum bilirubin level above 50% at 7th day and above 75% at 30th day after the procedure." Secondary outcomes were procedure-related adverse events, endoscopic reintervention, and survival time.
    Results: EUS-CDS was performed in 20 patients (65.0% male; median age 76 years). The most frequent etiology for the biliary obstruction was pancreatic adenocarcinoma (
    Conclusion: EUS-CDS was effective in biliary decompression of malignant obstructions of the common bile duct, with high clinical success and a favorable safety profile.
