AV Malformation Within Buccinator Muscle—A Unique Finding

Purpose: To report a case of a patient with NF1 presenting with ocular findings of AV malformation, multiple retinal hemorrhages, and neovascular glaucoma in the absence of retinal ischemia. Methods: Review of the medical record was conducted in accordance with the local IRBt. Results: A 60-year-old female patient with diagnosis of Neurofibromatosis type1 (NF1) and sudden decrease of vision in her left eye was found to have rubeosis iridis and high intraocular pressure (IOP). On fundus exam multiple corkscrew retinal vessels and retinal hemorrhages were present in her left eye. On Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) the foveal hemorrhages appeared as outer layer hyperreflective retinal infiltrates whereas in the parafoveal area the hyperreflectivity was present between the RPE and neurosensory retina. Fluorescein Angiogram (FA) showed normal perfusion and no areas of leakage or ischemia. Treatment with anti-angiogenics in a timely manner correlated with a good visual outcome. Conclusions: We present a unique patient with NF1, rubeosis iridis, high IOP, and macular hemorrhages from multiple corkscrew retinal vessels in a well perfused retina, who underwent treatment with a single dose of intravitreal Bevacizumab and had an excellent response

Background: The paired parotid glands are the largest of the major salivary glands and produces mainly serous secretions. The secretion of this gland reaches the oral cavity through single parotid duct (Stensen’s duct). The parotid duct begins at the anterior border of the gland, crosses the masseter muscle, and then pierces the buccinator muscle to reach the mucosa lining the mouth at the level of the cheek. The purpose of this study is determine the morphologic features of the parotid duct and describe an anatomical variation until now unreported. Methods and Findings: A total of 17 cadavers were used for this study in the Morphology Laboratory at the University of Pamplona. In a cadaver were findings: The main parotid duct originated two conducts: Left superior parotid duct and Left inferior parotid duct, is observed the criss-cross of the ducts, and then perforated the buccinator muscle and entered the oral cavity at a double parotid papilla containing a double opening, separated from each other in 0,98 mm. In the remaining 33 parotid regions (97.06%) the parotid duct is conformed to the classical descriptions given in anatomical textbooks. Conclusions: The parotid duct anatomy is important for duct endoscopy, lithotripsy, sialography and trans-ductal facial nerve stimulation in the early stage of facial palsy in some cases. The anatomical variations also has clinical importance for parotid gland surgery and facial cosmetic surgery. To keep in mind the parotid duct variation will reduce iatrogenic injury risks and improve diagnosis of parotid duct injury.

Type 3

Cheek dimpleplasty has become a popular request amongst patients requesting cosmetic surgery. Since the first reported dimpleplasty in 1962, there have been many reported procedures in the literature for cheek dimple creation. Some of the procedures described by various authors as “novel” are actually similar if not identical to existing procedures. This study reviews the different procedures of cheek dimple creation and provides the first ever systematic classification for these techniques. EMBASE, Cochrane library, Ovid medicine, and PubMed databases were searched from its inception to June of 2019. We included all studies describing the surgical creation of cheek dimples. The studies were reviewed, and the different procedures were cataloged. We then proposed a new classification system for these procedures based on their common characteristics. The study included 12 articles published in the English language that provided a descriptive procedure for cheek dimple creation. We classified the procedures into 3 broad categories and subcategories. Type 1 procedures are nonexcisional myocutaneous dimpleplasties. In these procedures, the buccinator muscle is not excised. In type 1A, the suture used to create the adhesion traverses the epidermis. In type 1B, the suture does not traverse the epidermis, rather, the suture travels up into the dermis and returned back to the mucosa. Type 2 procedures are excisional dimpleplasties. In these procedures, the buccinator muscle is excised with (open) or without (closed) the excision of the mucosa. Type 3 procedures are incisional dimpleplasty. In these procedures, the muscle is incised and fixed to the dermis. Each of these groups of procedures has potential unique advantages and disadvantages. There are multiple procedures reported in the English language literature for the creation of cheek dimples. Most of the procedures are based on similar concept with minor variations. Our classification system, the Opoku-Simone Classification, will help facilitate communication when describing the different configurations of these procedures. Procedure within each group has similar potential advantages and disadvantages.
