Aim of this study is to present the extraordinary case of a 45-year-

old man with very short bowel syndrome and ileostomy, who is

currently engaged in a long hospitalizationmodule of life because of

the constant need for parenteral nutrition which he has developed

due to Crohn’s disease treatments. Case presentation: A Russian

young man, with low education, a borderline intellectual function-

ing and a low socio-economic status, was operated numerous times

due to breakouts of Crohn’s disease. For the last year, he stays

mostly in the hospital. Practically he needs constant intravenous

parenteral nutrition due to his very short bowel syndrome, other-

wise he cannot live outside the hospital. The patient was advised

by his surgeon to eat any kind of food but had the limitation to

drink not more than 500ml of water per day, (the rest of water was

taken IV). During the first months, the patient seemed willing to

do anything needed, but when he started to get tired, he started

to drink more than 2 litres of water per day, ignoring his doctor’s

advice. One of his main problems was that he was able to see that

eggs, meat and other food he was eating were very soon appearing

in the ileostomy bag and this led him to think that he would die

soon. Neither the patient himself nor his wife and relatives asked

for help from supervisory bodies of the National Health System and

are not at all aware of his need for transplantation.

Aim of this study is to show how people are getting accustomed

to alternative ways of eating in cases of illness and eating disabil-

ity. Case report presentation: A 60-year-old woman was admitted

in the Intensive Care Unit due to an acute upper airway obstruc-

tion. The woman was tracheostomized before entering the ICU and

presented a large goiter and thus she was operated two days later

and a thyroidectomy was executed. Post-operatively, it was diag-

nosed that a tracheo-esophageal fistulawas present and the patient

was obliged to live with a gastrostomy for months. During the first

attempts for eating via a nasogastric tube at first and later via a gas-

trostomy, she had various problems with enteric nutrition, most

prominent of which was osmotic diarrhea. The patient asked soon

to stop eating enteral nutrition and preferred to eat food of her

choice according to her appetite. She insisted that she was able to

receive eating satisfaction, even by eating through a gastrostomy,

because her bowels gave to her a positive feedback with the form

of abdominal comfort after lunches. She said that the only food that

would not harm her was real food and she chose food on her own

with the help of her sister. This woman never presented any kind of

psychiatric disorder in the past, neither she lost her courage inside

hospital, although she was forced to live with a tracheostomy and

a gastrostomy for more than 6 months.

Introduction

Craniocervical junction (CCJ) malformations are

common pathologies in Northeast of Brazil, predominating Basilar

Invagination (BI) and Chiari Malformation (CM), sometimes asso-

ciated to syringomielia (SM).

Aims

Analyse the headache pattern in cases with CCJ malforma-

tion operated.

Methods

Retrospective study of 65 cases with CCJ malformation,

operated between 1994 and 2015, with analysis of headache pat-

tern.

Results

Of 65 cases operated, 29 patients (44.6%) had BI and CM,

26 (40%) had BI, CM and SM, 2, only CM and 1, CM and SM. Of

all patients, 39 (49.2%) presented headache and 43 (66.1%), nuchal

pain. Among those who presented BI and CM, 12 (41.4%) presented

headache and nuchal pain association. Of 26 with BI, CM and SM

associated, 11 (42.3%) presented headache and nuchal pain asso-

ciation. We notice yet the presence of brachycephaly in 44 cases

(67,7%) and brevis collis in 42 (64.6%). Headache, nuchal pain,

brachycephaly and brevis collis were all present in 9 patients (31%)

of BI and MC group, and in 8 (30.8%) of IB, CM and SM group.

Conclusions

Several denominations referred to psychogenic

headache: muscle contraction headache, stress headache and,

finally, tension headache, well defined in the classification of

International Headache Society (IHS) with clear diagnosis crite-

ria. Bilateral location, predominantly occipital, is an important

differential diagnosis with holocranial headache or occipital sec-

ondary to craniocervical malformations, and when associated to

brachycephaly and brevis colis, should be carefully investigated.

Diagnostic failure in symptomatic or neurological deficit’ patients

can sequelae due to chronic compression of structures adjacent to

CCJ.

Introduction

Disorders of endocrine function are among themost

common etiology of psychiatric illness.

The link between psychosis and hyperthyroidism is still poorly

understood.We

report an unusual presentation of hyperthyroidism

as a psychotic state. Careful history, physical examination, and lab-

oratory investigation, including thyroid function tests, should be
