Revisiting Spigelian hernia with emphasis
on diagnostic challenges and outcomes
of open mesh repair: a case report of two
patients
Abstract
Background Spigelian hernia is a rare defect of the anterior abdominal wall, accounting for less than 2% of
all abdominal wall hernias. Despite its low incidence, it carries a clinically significant risk of incarceration and
strangulation…

Recurrent syncope with seizure-like features:
the role of emergency monitoring in revealing
intermittent AV block
Abstract
Background Recurrent syncope with seizure-like stiffening may mimic epilepsy or neurological disorders, and when
routine tests are repeatedly normal, intermittent arrhythmia can be easily overlooked.
Case presentation We report a case of…

Survival after multiple in-hospital cardiac
arrests due to severe amitriptyline poisoning–
a case report
Abstract
Background Amitriptyline, a classic tricyclic antidepressant, can produce toxic effects ranging from mild
antimuscarinic symptoms to severe cardiotoxicity due to sodium channel blockade. In severe cases, toxicity may
rapidly progress to…
