Abstract

Differential diagnosis of anterior sacral meningocele during the evaluation of post-hysterectomy pelvic collections.

Highlights

Accompanied by at least two of the minor criteria, including recurrent genital ulcers, ocular lesions, skin lesions, and a positive pathergy test[12], none of which were observed in our patient
There is no standard treatment for Hughes-Stovin syndrome, the most widely used treatment option being immunosuppression therapy involving a combination of glucocorticoids and cyclophosphamide, which has the potential to stabilize aneurysms or even promote regression in some cases[11]
Dear Editor, Here, we present the case of a 34-year-old woman who suffered postoperative pain and fever after subtotal abdominal hysterectomy

Summary

Introduction

Accompanied by at least two of the minor criteria (not necessarily simultaneously), including recurrent genital ulcers, ocular lesions, skin lesions, and a positive pathergy test[12], none of which were observed in our patient. Other causes of pulmonary artery aneurysms are trauma, infection, pulmonary hypertension, and Marfan syndrome[8,9,10,11]. There is no standard treatment for Hughes-Stovin syndrome, the most widely used treatment option being immunosuppression therapy involving a combination of glucocorticoids and cyclophosphamide, which has the potential to stabilize aneurysms or even promote regression in some cases[11].
