Spontaneous bilateral superficial femoral artery pseudoaneurysms and a unilateral posterior tibial artery aneurysm in an immunocompromised patient
We present the rare case of bilateral superficial femoral artery pseudoaneurysms, of unknown etiology and a concurrent posterior tibial artery saccular aneurysm in a patient with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection and multiple comorbidities. This was managed using a combination of endovascular covered stent grafts and open surgical repair technique. The patient is doing well on follow-up a year later with no post-operative infections. A literature review of the existing reports of superficial femoral artery pseudoaneurysms and posterior tibial artery aneurysms and their management is also reported. (Source: Clinical Case Reports)

CHARGE syndrome with early fetal ear abnormalities: A case report
We report a fetus with fetal external ear abnormality detected by ultrasound at 22nd week of gestation. Postnatal examination revealed an external ear abnormality, a mild atrial septal defect, and other clinical signs of CHARGE syndrome. A de novo pathogenic nonsense mutation in theCHD7 gene (c.406C > T, p.Q136X in exon 2) was identified to cause the disorder. Our study demonstrated that prenatal diagnosis and genetic testing were recommended to obtain a solid diagnosis of CHARGE syndrome when fetal external ear abnormality was detected by ultrasound examination.
