Introduction: Primary central nervous system vasculitis (primary CNS vasculitis) is a rare inflammatory disorder that affects small-to-medium-sized cerebral vessels, often leading to recurrent strokes. Diagnosis is vague due to non-specific neurological symptoms. Imaging findings, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis and exclusion of systemic vasculitis are essential for diagnosis.

Acute vestibular syndrome (AVS) is characterized by the sudden onset of dizziness or vertigo, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, gait instability, and nystagmus, lasting for more than 24 hours and often persisting for several days to weeks. Central AVS primarily involves central vestibular structures, such as the brainstem and cerebellum, and is most commonly caused by ischemic stroke in the posterior circulation. When acute posterior circulation infarction presents solely with isolated dizziness or vertigo, without other symptoms of central nervous system damage, it is often misdiagnosed as a peripheral vestibular disorder, this can lead to serious consequences.

Oral and maxillofacial space infection (OMSI) progresses rapidly, and when combined with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), it can become a serious and life-threatening condition. Cases of OMSI with concurrent DKA are relatively rare. This case report describes a young man who developed OMSI caused by methicillin-resistant in the setting of DKA.

Background: Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LG-ESS) is a rare malignant tumor of the female reproductive system with atypical clinical symptoms and slow progression.

Case: A 44-year-old female with a history of intermittent severe dysmenorrhea, previous laparoscopic myomectomy, and uterine artery embolization (UAE) presented with rapidly enlarging pelvic masses. Imaging revealed uterine masses suggestive of leiomyomas, although an adnexal origin could not be excluded.

Background: Anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5-positive dermatomyositis (MDA5+ DM) with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RPILD) is a fatal disease. Although Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi) hold their promise in treating MDA5+ DM, regimen for RPILD is still urgently needed to improve the adverse prognosis.

Methods: Based on a large inception cohort of MDA5+ DM, patients with RPILD (oxygen index [OI] < 300 within the first 3 months of disease duration) were included.
