    Complex Regional Pain Syndrome in an Adult Following Tetanus-Diphteria Toxoid Vaccine: Case Report and Review of the Literature
    (2014) Seyrek, Aslihan; Yemisci, Oya Umit; Sozay, Seyhan; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0501-5127; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8460-7699; AAJ-8820-2021; AAJ-2936-2021
    Background: Complex regional pain syndrome [CRPS] is a painful and disabling chronic neuropathic disorder, and unfortunately, due to its wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, the diagnosis may often be missed by primary-care physicians. To the authors' knowledge, there are no reported cases of CRPS following immunization with tetanus-diphteria toxoid booster vaccine in an adult. Findings: We present a 26-year-old woman with severe pain, swelling, and limited range of motion of the left forearm following a booster dose of the tetanus-diphteria toxoid vaccine. Conclusion: Disease awareness among practitioners, early recognition, and appropriate treatment is essential to minimize the risk of adverse outcome.

    Anorectal Malformation in an Adult Associated with Chronic Renal Failure: A Case Report
    (2017) Ezer, Ali; Ezer, Semire S.; Parlakgumus, Alper; 0000-0002-3834-9924; 0000-0002-9597-3264; AAJ-8558-2021; AAJ-9529-2021
    Few adult cases suffering from anorectal malformation have been concerned in literature; therefore, little is known about the best approach for managing this matter in adults. Our case is a 24 years old female patient admitted to our center with recurrent urinary tract infections and fecal incontinence. She was in hemodialysis program for 1 year due to chronic renal failure. During clinical examination, rectovestibular fistula was detected. Initially, sigmoid loop colostomy was formed. After 10 days, posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP) was applied and after 3 months, closure of the colostomy was practiced. Total continence reconstruction was achieved. 8 months after all these processes, kidney transplant from our patient's mother was performed and the patient was back to her normal life. After 18 months, Arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis was closed. By means of PSARP, satisfactory results were reached in adults with delayed anorectal malformation.
