Article Abstract
Intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunt (IPSVS) is a rare vascular abnormality that involves abnormal communication between the intrahepatic portal vein and systemic veins, such as the hepatic vein or inferior vena cava. Patients with IPSVS are typically asymptomatic, and IPSVS is incidentally discovered via imaging while evaluating other diseases. However, endovascular closure of the shunt should be considered in symptomatic patients with a high-flow shunt. This report presents a patient with congenital IPSVS with sudden onset hepatic encephalopathy treated using percutaneous transhepatic embolization.

Juvenile fibroadenoma typically is seen in the adolescent patient and has distinctive clinical and histopathological features that are related to the early onset of the benign tumor. Only rarely can juvenile fibroadenoma occur as a prepubertal lesion or may be detected earlier in childhood, raising questions about differential diagnosis and management of the lesion. We present a case of very early first manifestation of juvenile fibroadenoma in a 2-year-old patient.

Testicular torsion is a urological emergency that occurs when the spermatic cord twists, cutting off blood supply to the testicle, and it requires immediate surgical intervention to prevent irreversible damage. Although it typically presents with sudden, severe scrotal pain and swelling, atypical presentations can complicate diagnosis and delay treatment. We report the case of a 25-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with a sudden onset of left lower abdominal pain and left inguinal swelling.
