✅ Correct Answer: B) Down Syndrome

A single transverse palmar crease (sometimes called a "simian crease") is seen in about 45–60% of infants with Down Syndrome. It results from abnormal development of palmar flexion creases during fetal growth. While it can occasionally be found in healthy individuals, its presence alongside other features (hypotonia, epicanthic folds, flat facial profile) strongly suggests Trisomy 21. Other syndromes listed (Turner, Marfan, Edwards) have distinct hallmark features but do not typically present with this crease. 💎 @profmedken | @MedkenHub

Epiglottis in a 5-year-old boy with respiratory distress and drooling. A lateral soft tissue neck radiograph shows a markedly thickened epiglottis (white arrow), which is referred to as the “thumb” sign. The aryepiglottic folds (black arrow) also are thickened. 💎 @profmedken | @MedkenHub

A 73-year-old patient with active colon cancer and massive pulmonary embolism. There was a worm-shaped large mobile risky clot in the right atrium (RA), which was very dangerous, especially with right ventricular (RV) dysfunction. The patient received a half-dose (50 mg) of alteplase. Follow-up echocardiography showed complete resolution of the RA clot. The patient was later discharged with alleviated symptoms and some improvement in RV function. © Dr. Jamal 💎 @profmedken | @MedkenHub
