1.Perforation of a Meckel’s Diverticulum Following Ingestion of a Chicken Bone: A Case Report and Literature Review
Soonchunhyang Medical Science 2024;30(2):49-51
Perforation of a Meckel’s diverticulum with a foreign body is a rare complication. Whether in children or adults, fish bones have been reported to cause perforation in a Meckel’s diverticulum, but few cases have been reported in which swallowing relatively large bones such as chicken bones results in perforation. We report a case of perforation of a Meckel’s diverticulum caused by swallowing a chicken bone.
2.Vaginal Stenosis due to Chemical Vaginitis after Using Jamu Sticks: A Case Report
Soonchunhyang Medical Science 2024;30(2):52-55
Jamu sticks are used in some Southeast Asian cultures especially Indonesia for vaginal health and tightening. However, there is no scientific evidence supporting the safety or effectiveness of Jamu sticks for vaginal tightening or health. Chemical reactions caused by these foreign substances can lead chemical vaginitis, increasing the risk of secondary infection through the disrupted vaginal wall. I report a case of a patient successfully treated for vaginal stenosis due to chemical vaginitis caused by Jamu sticks experienced in our hospital and advise caution against indiscriminate folk remedies.
3.Jejunal Intussusception Caused by Enteric Muco-submucosal Elongated Polyp: A Case Report
Soonchunhyang Medical Science 2024;30(2):60-63
Muco-submucosal elongated polyp is a non-neoplastic growth composed of normal mucosa and submucosal tissue. It was first reported by Matake and his colleagues and has been found mainly in the colon. The term colonic muco-submucosal elongated polyp was proposed for colonic lesions. However, only a few cases have been reported in the duodenum and jejunum of the small intestine. These lesions are called enteric muco-submucosal elongated polyp, and intussusception is very rare. In this case report, I experienced a case of enteric muco-submucosal elongated polyp that occurred in the jejunum of the small intestine and caused intussusception.

Hypovolemic shock and septic shock present similar symptoms, such as increased heart rate and decreased blood pressure. However, the two conditions have different causes, mechanisms, and treatment approaches. Early differentiation between the two conditions can have a positive impact on patient prognosis. In this case, the patient underwent a right ovarian cystectomy due to a teratoma torsion during a previous pregnancy, followed by treatment for a postoperative infection. While recovering, the patient underwent an emergency cesarean section due to sudden severe abdominal pain. After the surgery, unstable vital signs were suggestive of hypovolemia due to massive bleeding from the cesarean section. Therefore, fluid infusion and blood transfusion were initiated. The vital signs did not improve. So, the patient was reassessed. Body temperature and the previously elevated C-reactive protein levels were remeasured. The results of the reassessment indicated a septic condition due to previous infection. The patient was prescribed additional vasopressors and antibiotics for the following week. Subsequently, the patient’s vital signs stabilized, and the treatment was discontinued.
