Leucovorin-induced Hypersensitivity Reaction in a Patient with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Treated with Cetuximab Plus FOLFOX Chemotherapy: A Case Report
This report aims to investigate the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of leucovorin induced HSRs. A 60-year-old female developed generalized edema, dyspnea, and facial redness during cetuximab plus FOLFOX chemotherapy administered for management of metastatic colorectal cancer. Because HSRs induced by oxaliplatin are commonly reported, we initially presumed an oxaliplatin-induced HSR. However, despite undergoing oxaliplatin desensitization, HSRs persisted, and they were still observed when leucovorin was administered without oxaliplatin. The patient was diagnosed with leucovorin-induced HSR and underwent leu...

Plug-Assisted Retrograde Transvenous Obliteration for the Treatment of Duodenal Variceal Bleeding - A Case Report and Literature Review
Korean J Gastroenterol. 2023 Dec 25;82(6):295-299. doi: 10.4166/kjg.2023.105.ABSTRACTDuodenal varices are uncommon complications of portal hypertension. Although duodenal variceal bleeding is infrequent, it is a life-threatening condition with a high mortality rate. Non-surgical methods for duodenal variceal bleeding include endoscopic band ligation, endoscopic sclerotherapy, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt, and retrograde transvenous obliteration. On the other hand, an optimal treatment strategy for this rare condition has not been established. A 38-year-old male with a history of alcoholic liver cirrhosis p...

Unique Case of Severe Sepsis and Acute Respiratory Failure in the Setting of Aseptic Epiploic Appendagitis of the Descending Colon
Korean J Gastroenterol. 2023 Dec 25;82(6):300-303. doi: 10.4166/kjg.2023.111.ABSTRACTEpiploic appendagitis (EA) is an uncommon intraabdominal pathology resulting in transient, localized pain. The condition is caused by ischemia of one of the epiploic appendages, which are distributed axially along the length of the colon. EA is often mistaken for other more common etiologies of an acute abdomen. Generally, the patients experience focal abdominal pain with no further symptoms or laboratory abnormalities. The authors encountered a 79-year-old male with severe sepsis and acute respiratory failure requiring intubation. He reco...
