Herein, we present three cases of Pityriasis lichenoides chronica (PLC) in patients who developed the rash after use of 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-Coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors. The patients had complete resolution after standard treatment by dermatologists and withdrawal of the offending agents. In one case, the patient had a previous episode of a similar rash that occurred with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors use many years previously. Pityriasis lichenoides chronica is a condition of unknown aetiology. Several agents have been associated with its presentation.

Condylar hypoplasia is the underdevelopment or defective formation of the condyle, which can be congenital or acquired. Congenital hypoplasia is present at birth, while acquired condylar hypoplasia occurs from an event that interferes with its normal development. This event can be trauma, infection, radiation, endocrine disorders, or systemic arthropathy (1).

Adnexa masses occur in one out of two hundred pregnancies
(1). Many are benign ovarian cysts diagnosed in women
during antenatal care and managed conservatively with success.
Occasionally, ovarian accidents occur that necessitate
emergency surgeries. However, in women, unbooked during
pregnancy, presentation to hospital may occur for the first
time in the puerperium and it may pose a diagnostic challenge.
We present the case of a 33-year old multipara who
presented with acute abdomen in the puerperium. The initial

Transverse myelitis is a very rare neurological condition associated with immunologic and infectious
conditions causing interruption of the neuroanatomical pathways in a transverse plane in the spinal
cord. Herein is described the fatal case of a patient that developed transverse myelitis after a
Caesarean delivery, probably related to the epidural analgesia.

Fulminant myocarditis, especially those caused by the
Ebstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a rare disease (1). For the first
time, we describe a case of fulminant myocarditis caused by
EBV in a young, immunocompetent adult, co-infected with
parvovirus B19.

ABSTRACT
Aorto-cavitary fistulae are rare complications of infective endocarditis. The diagnosis, in the absence of concomitant aortic valve disease, replacement of aortic valve with homograft or prosthetic valve, periannular abscess and negative blood culture, requires a high index of suspicion and has important prognostic and management significance. The sensitivity of the Modified Duke Criteria is challenged in this case report with a documented right sinus of valsalva fistula to the right ventricle seen on transthoracic echocardiography.
