📌An eight-year-old female patient was brought to our clinic. with a funnel chest. Our detailed physical examination and anamnesis revealed symmetrical and severe pectus excavatum. No accompanying diseases, family history, or previous surgeries
were noted.

📌The patient underwent a Nuss procedure with thoracoscopy in June 2011. A 220 mm-long bar was implanted in the patient using one stabilizer on the left end. No steel wires were used. The operation was performed successfully in 90 minutes without any perioperative complications. Excellent correction of the deformity was seen in the early postoperative period.

📌The rare complication is seen in Figure D.

✨To read the case about this very rare complication of the Nuss procedure please check out our latest case report, “Pectus Carinatum Development After The Nuss Procedure” by Alparslan et al.

📌Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a commonly used procedure to aid patients with feeding difficulties. A flexible tube is inserted through the abdominal wall to the stomach, ensuring that the patient gets adequate nutrition through enteral feeding.

📌Infection, hemorrhage, and peritonitis are common complications that can occur after the placement of the PEG tube. Migration of the catheter to neighboring organs is a rare but potentially serious complication.

📌This case report presents a PEG catheter patient who presented with extensive diarrhea a year after the placement of the feeding tube, without any other remarkable physical symptoms. Although a common non-specific symptom seen in 10-20% of enteric feeding patients, in some cases, diarrhea might solely signal the migration of the feeding tube. Therefore, this complication should be considered in patients with a PEG catheter if other common causes, such as infection and drug therapy, are ruled out.

📌 This study evaluates the performance and competence of Large Language Models (LLMs) on USMLE-style exams across 25 medical disciplines.

📌 While achieving high overall accuracy, LLM performance varies significantly by discipline, peaking in Cardiology but showing the lowest scores in Psychiatry.

📌 This highlights the high potential for LLM integration into medical education but stresses the need for further refinement and validation for reliable use in critical clinical applications.

✨This case report presents a pectus excavatum patient who had a very flexible sternum that was bent by the Nuss bars to a degree that is enough to cause pectus carinatum.

✨The development of pectus carinatum after a Nuss procedure is a very rare but possible complication that can be observed in flexible patients. Early bar removal due to this complication may lead to the recurrence of pectus excavatum. Revision procedures, vacuums and external bracing orthoses may be used to manage this complication.
