Multiple inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) has casuistically been reported in conjunction with retropharyngeal oedema. This case report details the diagnosis and treatment of MIS-C in a 13-year-old girl where the initial treatment was targeted against the retropharyngeal oedema. The aim is to highlight the atypical presentation of MIS-C.

INTRODUCTION
Valproate is an antiepileptic medication that can be used to manage behavioral symptoms associated with Alzheimer's dementia. We present a rare case of valproate-induced periorbital edema.
CASE
A 76-year-old man came to the emergency room with agitation and aggression. He was medically cleared and referred to a psychiatric facility where he was treated with haloperidol. When he developed drug-induced parkinsonism, the haloperidol was stopped, and the patient was started on valproate 250 mg twice daily. The day after valproate administration, the patient developed periorbital edema. After ruling out other causes of periorbital edema, adverse drug reaction was suspected. Valproate was discontinued, and the edema rapidly resolved within five days.
CONCLUSION
Periorbital edema is a rare side effect of valproate. It can occur in patients who are being treated with valproate for behavioral changes in Alzheimer's disease. The edema resolves with discontinuation of the medication.

Review
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread over the world for more than one year. COVID-19 often develops life-threatening hypoxemia. Endothelial injury caused by the viral infection leads to intravascular coagulation and ventilation-perfusion mismatch. However, besides above pathogenic mechanisms, the role of alveolar edema in the disease progression has not been discussed comprehensively. Since the exudation of pulmonary edema fluid was extremely serious in COVID-19 patients, we bring out a hypothesis that severity of alveolar edema may determine the size of poorly-ventilated area and the blood oxygen content. Treatments to pulmonary edema (conservative fluid management, exogenous surfactant replacements and ethanol-oxygen vapor therapy hypothetically) may be greatly helpful for reducing the occurrences of severe cases. Given that late mechanical ventilation may cause mucus (edema fluid) to be blown deep into the small airways, oxygen therapy should be given at the early stages. The optimal time and blood oxygen saturation (SpO) threshold for oxygen therapy are also discussed.

Review
Myocardial fluid homeostasis relies on a complex interplay between microvascular filtration, interstitial hydration, cardiomyocyte water uptake and lymphatic removal. Dysregulation of one or more of these mechanisms may result in myocardial oedema. Interstitial and intracellular fluid accumulation disrupts myocardial architecture, intercellular communication, and metabolic pathways, decreasing contractility and increasing myocardial stiffness. The widespread use of cardiac magnetic resonance enabled the identification of myocardial oedema as a clinically relevant imaging finding with prognostic implications in several types of heart failure. Furthermore, growing experimental evidence has contributed to a better understanding of the physical and molecular interactions in the microvascular barrier, myocardial interstitium and lymphatics and how they might be disrupted in heart failure. In this review, we summarize current knowledge on the factors controlling myocardial water balance in the healthy and failing heart and pinpoint the new potential therapeutic avenues.
