Reiter syndrome accompanied by Terry nail.

We present a case of Reiter syndrome (RS) associated with Terry nail in a 32-year-old male patient who also had subungual keratosis and onycholysis. The case had all the characteristic findings of complete RS including urethritis, conjunctivitis, arthritis and skin lesions, and based on these findings a clinical diagnosis was established. The patient complained of milky-white coloured leakage that was more frequent in the mornings, and dysuria. Urinary analysis revealed leucocytes and erythrocytes. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) values were high. The case was considered as RS due to gonococcic urethritis. However, there was no growth in the culture. Self-report of the patient revealed that he had had continued symptoms and 9 months after the development of RS he developed Terry nail. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case of RS associated with Terry nail.

Arterial, neural and muscular variations in the upper limb.

During our routine dissection studies we observed arterial, neural and muscular variations in the upper limbs of an adult male cadaver. In this case we observed the superficial brachial artery origination from the third part of the axillary artery, communications between the musculocutaneous and median nerves, variant formation of the brachial plexus, origination of the profunda brachii artery from the posterior circumflex humeral artery and supernumerary tendons of the abductor pollicis longus muscle. We think that such variations should be kept in mind during surgical and diagnostic procedures.

A case with multiple anomalies in the upper limb.

During routine educational dissection studies, we encountered multiple nervous and arterial anomalies in a 60-year-old embalmed male cadaver. The arterial anomalies were observed on the right side. The superficial brachial artery originated from the axillary artery under the pectoralis minor muscle. There was an arch between the superficial brachial and brachial arteries in the cubital fossa. Additionally, a communication was observed between the musculocutaneous and median nerves. Moreover, the coracobrachialis muscle was innervated by an accessory nerve branch originating from the lateral cord of the brachial plexus. All of the nervous anomalies were on the left side. A combination of these variations in the same case has not, to our knowledge, been previously described in the available literature.
