Radiologic, Histologic and Scanning Electron Microscopic Characterization of the Peritoneal Reflection in Crohn's Disease

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The peritoneal reflection bridges visceral and parietal peritoneum and lacks adjoining or underlying organs. As such it provides an opportunity to perform a focussed examination of the peritoneum in Crohn's disease. The aim of this study was to exploit this anatomical property and conduct a multilayered, focussed examination of the peritoneal ...

Cutaneous Larva Migrans Presenting as Eczematous Dermatitis

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Cutaneous larva migrans (CLM) is a skin infection caused by animal hookworm larvae. Clinically, it appears as a red, itchy, winding (serpiginous) line, but early lesions can mimic eczema. We report a case of a 66‐year‐old farmer who initially presented with an eczematous lesion on the left foot, which was subsequently diagnosed as CLM ...
