We present a case of pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis in a patient with granulomatosis with polyangiitis that was treated successfully with hyperbaric oxygen. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Turkish

  A 25-year-old Turkish man with a history of sickle cell disease developed sudden painless loss of vision in the left eye and was hospitalized for diagnosis and treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Intestinal Perforation

  He underwent urgent exploratory laparotomy, which led to a diagnosis of pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis without intestinal perforation or necrosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Chronic Dermatitis

  However, radiation exposure induces acute or chronic dermatitis, depending on the radiation dose, interval, tissue volume, or irradiated area of the body. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Microscopic Hematuria

  Macroscopic hematuria resolved within a week, and microscopic hematuria was no longer detectable within 2 weeks. Hematuria did not recur after 11 sessions of HBO therapy, and no significant side effects were observed during or after treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Seizure

  seizure threshold, thereby contributing to oxygen toxicity seizures. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Oxygen induced seizures - This complication is very rare. These patients should be given vitamin E before treatment to protect against superoxide radicals. Oxygen induced seizures can be stopped by allowing the patient to breath normal air. [drtbalu.co.in]

  Oxygen toxicity seizures The high level of oxygen in the blood that occurs during HBO treatments can be toxic to the central nervous system and can result in seizure activity. [uihc.org]

We hypothesized that early treatment response could predict treatment failure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a neutrophilic dermatosis of unknown etiology characterized by an ulcerative skin condition and confirmed through a diagnosis of exclusion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The etiology of PG remains poorly understood, but a predominantly immunological pathogenesis involving neutrophil dysfunction seems most likely. [o-wm.com]
