Pheochromocytoma is a tumor that arises from the chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla, which is histologically impossible to differentiate from paragangliomas that can arise outside the adrenal gland, in addition to the low incidence and high complexity in the differential diagnosis. It is a challenge for both the anesthesiologist and the surgical team, due to possible complications that could occur in the operating room. It should be rigorously evaluated and alpha and beta blockade must be started at least two weeks before the surgical procedure.

Grave´s disease (GD) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the presence of autoantibodies that bind to the thyrotropin receptor (TR) in the gland, leading to excess production of thyroid hormones maintaining a state of hyperthyroidism. Also this autoantibodies recognize the TR present on orbital fibroblasts, which produce the tissue changes of Grave´s ophthalmopathy (GO): eyelid retraction and swelling, proptosis, orbital congestion (chemosis), exposure keratopathy, extraocular motility dysfunction, as well as compressive optic neuropathy in more severe cases.

Background: Dengue Fever DF represents a major global health challenge. It is the most important human infection. In Saudi Arabia, the first experience of virus isolation during a DF outbreak was in 1994 in Jeddah many out brakes followed in (20042005 , 2006 and 2009) the Saudi Preventive Department in the Ministry of Health (MOH) launched a comprehensive plan to control the disease In 2008.

Background: The central venous accesses technique uses a direct visualization puncture. With the advent of the ultrasound (US)-guided puncture, a high variation rate in the anatomical position (AP) of the right internal jugular vein (RIJV) was observed compared to the right common carotid artery (RCCA). Objective: This study describes the rate of AP variability in RIJV, compared with previous studies and descriptions.

The oral lichenoid lesion (OLL) is response that occurs on the oral mucosa. The OLL commonly include allergic response to the dental materials, drugs, and on graft-vs-host disease (GVHD). The prevalence of oral lichen planus is more with the female predilection. Oral lichenoid lesions develop as a type IV hypersensitivity reaction. Both of those entities are potential precancerous conditions; this adds to their clinical significance. Oral lichen planus and oral lichenoid reactions are two distinct diseases. They will be clinically similar but they need different etiologic factors.
