Idiopathic costochondritis particularly in the 2nd rib. Localised pain and tenderness at costosternal junction, enhanced by movement, coughing or sneezing.

Port wine stains, varicose veins, and limb hypertrophy due to vascular malformations.

Bilateral adrenocortical haemorrhage, occurring with very rapidly deteriorating meningococcal sepsis alongside widespread purpura, meningitis, and DIC. Other causes include H influenza, pneumococcal, streptococcal and staphylococcal sepsis. Adrenal failure causes shock.

Peripheral digital ischaemia due to paroxysmal vasospasm as a result of cold and emotions. Pale = ischaemia, blue = deoxygenation, red = reactive hyperaemia.

Levels are reduced or it is abnormally produced. This results in loss of its functions which are to bring platelets into contact with exposed subendothelium, to make platelets bind to each other and to bind to FVIII protecting it from destruction in the circulation.

Raised CSF protein and xanthochromia with normal cell count - a sign of blockage in spinal CSF flow

Congenital, bilateral, AR sensorineural deafness and long QT interval.

Lesion to multiple CNS nuclei, caused by posterior are inferior cerebellar artery occlusion leading to brainstem infarction. This can cause dysphagia, dysarthria, vertigo, nausea, vomiting, nystagmus, ipsilateral ataxia, ipsilateral Horner’s, loss of pain and temperature sensation on the ipsilateral side of the face and contralateral side of the body. No limb weakness.

Phytanic acid accumulates in tissue and serum due to a gene mutation. This leads to anosmia, early onset retinitis pigmentosa and variable combinations of neuropathy, deafness, ataxia ichthyosis and cardiomyopathy.

Umbilical metastatic nodule from intra abdominal malignancy

Metaplasia of the normal stratified squamous epithelium of the distant oesophagus to columnar epithelium as a result of GORD. Increases risk of oesophageal adenocarcinoma.

Primary congenital lymphoedema, causes lymphatic malfunction of lower leg swelling from birth

Apical lung cancer invades the sympathetic plexus in the neck causing ipsilateral horner's syndrome, also the brachial plexus which can cause arm pain and weakness; also the recurrent laryngeal nerve which can cause hoarseness.

2-10 weeks after an MI: recurrent fever, chest pain, pleural or pericardial rub, possible cardiac tamponade.

Persistent vomiting and retching causes haematemesis via an oesophageal mucosal tear.

Vivid liars, addicted to institutions, flit from hospital to hospital, feinging illness hoping for a laparotomy on mastectomy, complaining of bleeding out, claiming sexual assault...

GPA. Necrotising granulomatous information and vasculitis of small and medium vessels. Predilection for URT, lungs and kidneys. Often nasal obstruction, ulcers, epistaxis, destruction of the nasal septum causing characteristic saddlenose deformity. Renal disease causes rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis with Cresant formation, proteinuria and haematurea. Pulmonary involvement may cause cough, haemoptysis, pleuritis. There may also be skin purpura, peripheral neuropathy, mononeuritis multiplex, arthritis/arthralgia, ocular involvement.

Inherited neuropathy, starts with weak legs and foot drop and variable loss of sensation and reflexes; inverted champagne bottle legs.

Acute glomerulonephritis and haemoptysis/pulmonary haemorrhage caused by antiglomerular basement membrane antibodies

Defective hepatocyte excretion of conjugated billirubin typically presents in late teens with intermittent jaundice and hepatosplenomegaly.

Angina from coronary artery vasospasm, can lead to MI and ventricular arrhythmias or sudden death. Severe chest pain occurs without physical exertion. Triggers include hyperventilation, cocaine and tobacco.

There is reduced tear production, reduced salivation, parotid swelling; you may also see vaginal dryness, dyspareunia, dry cough and dysphagia. Systemic signs include polyarthritis/arthralgia, Raynauds, lymphadenopathy, vasculitis, lung, liver and kidney involvement, peripheral neuropathy, myositis, fatigue. Anti-Ro = SSA, Anti-la = SSP

Hypothalamic damage and cerebral atrophy due to thiamine deficiency. Reduced ability to acquire new memories, confabulation, lack of insight and apathy.

The association of pectic ulcers with a gastrin secreting adenoma. Multiple ulcers are produced in the duodenum and stomach. Most cases are sporadic, 20% are associated with men1, 60% and malignant. Metastasis are found in local lymph nodes and the liver. Symptoms include abdominal pain and dyspepsia as well as chronic diarrhoea due to inactivation of pancreatic enzymes and damage to the intestinal mucoas.

Recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy from a large left atrium

Inflammatory demyelination causing attacks of optic neuritis and myelitis. Abnormal CSF (may mimic bacterial meningitis) and serum anti-AQP4 antibody may help distinguish from MS.

Giant gastric mucosa folds, increased mucosal thickness, atrophy of glands, hypochlorhydria, protein-losing gastropathy. Often cause by CMV, strep, H. pylori.

Hereditary telangiectasia of the skin and mucous membranes.

Progressive shortening and thickening of the palmar fascia causing finger contracture and loss of extension.

Infarction of one half of the midbrain after occlusion of the paramedian branches of the basilar or posterior cerebral arteries. Causes ipsilateral oculomotor nerve palsy and contralateral hemiplegia.

Intraepidermal spread of an intraduct cancer which can look like eczema, usually around the nipple.

GI malabsorption caused by Tropheryma whippelii. Often starts with arthralgia. GI symptoms commonly include colicky abdominal pain, weight loss, steatorrhoea/diarrhoea, leading to malabsorption. Also systemic symptoms such as chronic cough, fever, sweats, lymphadenopathy, and skin hyperpigmentation. Cardiac involvement may lead to endocarditis. CNS features include reversible dementia, opthalmaplegia, facial myoclonus. Jejunal biopsy will show stunted villi with deposition of macrophages.

Narcolepsy

Small that’s all vasculitis presenting with non-blanching purple papule, often over buttocks and extensive services.

Necrotising ulcerative gingivitis. Often following mouth infection, commoner in young male smokers with poor oral heigene. Treat with amoxycillin and metronidazole and chlorhexedine mouth wash.

Few weeks after infection: ascending symmetrical muscle weakness starts. Often proximal muscles are more affected; pain is common, sensory signs maybe absent. Autonomic dysfunction may occur, such as sweating, raised HR, blood pressure changes. Nerve conduction studies so slow conduction.

Dominant parietal lesion: finger agnosia, agraphia, acalculia, right-left disorientation

Corpus callosum demyelination and necrosis often secondary to chronic alcoholism.

Lung nodules in coal workers with rheumatoid arthritis

Absence of muscle phosphorylase enzyme means they can’t convert glycogen to glucose. Causes fatigue, muscle cramps and hyperthermia, as well as rhabdomyolysis and myoglobinurea following exercise.

Preexcitation syndrome similar to WPW characterised by short PR interval and a normal QRS complex; at risk of SVT.

Granulomatous inflammation causes stenosis, thrombosis and aneurysms. Commonest in women aged 20 to 40. Aortic arch is often infected with cerebral, ophthalmic and upper limb symptoms. Systemic features are common such as fever, weight loss and malaise. Blood pressure is often a feature due to renal artery stenosis. Complications include AR, aortic aneurysm, dissection, stroke and IHD.
