<p class="abstract">Choanal polyp arising from the sphenoid sinus and presenting at the choana are rare. These are known as sphenochoanal polyp. We present a case of sphenochoanal polyp and its clinical features and surgical management is discussed. Our aim in this case was to properly delineate the origin of the polyp and differentiate it from other lesions such as the antrochoanal polyp and meningocele, followed by meticulous endoscopic excision of the polyp. Radiological investigations include a CT scan paranasal sinuses or a MRI diagnostic nasal endoscopy will confirm the diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is made surgical removal must be done<span lang="EN-IN">.</span></p>

Background: Tolosa Hunt syndrome (THS) is an uncommon case defined as unilateral orbital or periorbital pain associated with weakness of one or more of the third, fourth and/or sixth cranial nerves, the etiology is still unknown. Pain and paresis Tolosa-Hunt syndrome is cured when adequately treated with corticosteroids Case: We present a case of young female patient with reccurent painful opthalmoplegia since 2 years ago. She also had ptosis and protopsis on her left eye. Contrast Ct scan showed thick lateral rectus muscle and superior rectus muscle. The diagnosis of Tolosa Hunt Syndrome was made according to clinical features, contrast Ct scan of the head and a positive response to corticosteroid treatment. Conclusions: Tolosa Hunt Syndrome is a diagnosis of exclusion. Clinical Features, Neuroimaging, and positive response to corticosteroid treatment are very helpful in determining the diagnosis. Patient must be told that the disease can recur.

Intestinal Obstructions

Background: Intussusception is a different entity in adults than it is in children and is usually secondary to a definable pathology. Objective: To review adult intussusception: clinical features, diagnosis and their management. Subjects and methods: A retrospective review of 38 cases of intussusception in individuals older than 18 years of age presenting to BPKIHS Dharan, Nepal from January 2003 to December 2009 was done. Results: In six years, there were thirty-eight patients of surgically proven adult intussusception. The patients. mean age was 49.6 ± 16.2 years, M: F ratio was 1.3:1. Intestinal obstructions of various extents were the commonest presentation in twenty-seven patients (71%). There were 42% enteric, 32% ileocolic and 26% colonic AI. The diagnostic accuracy of the ultrasonography was 78.5%, CT scan was 90% and colonoscopy was 100%. The pathological lesions were found in 94% of AI. Among the pathological lesion, enteric have 62% benign, 38% malignant, ileocolic have 50% benign, 50% malignant, and in colocolic 70% malignant, 30% benign. In enteric AI, 68% were reduced successfully, 25% reduction was not attempted. Of ileocolic AI, 58.3% were reduced successfully, 41.6% had resection without reduction. Of colocolic AI, 30% of them were reduced successfully before resection, 70% had resection without reduction. Conclusion: CT scanning is the most useful diagnostic radiologic method in AI. Colonoscopy is the most accurate in ileocolic and colonic AI. Small-bowel intussusception should be reduced before resection if the underlying etiology is suspected to be benign or if the resection required without reduction is deemed to be massive. Large bowel should generally be resected without reduction because pathology is mostly malignant.

The case history is presented of a man with an atypical psychosis and classical clinical features of alexithymia. On his last admission, the patient presented with starvation and hypernatremic coma. A CT scan, which was done because of the coma, revealed a large left fronto-temporal arachnoid cyst. The significance of this finding is reviewed in the light of previously suggested organic bases for alexithymia and related syndromes. Although the symptom of alexithymia is present, the patient's other symptoms do not fit readily into existing diagnostic categories and the resulting diagnostic dilemma is discussed.

ABSTRACT Background: Indication of a head computed tomography (CT) scan in a patient who remains conscious after head injury is controversial. We aimed to determine the clinical features that are most likely to be associated with abnormal CT scan in patients with a history of head injury, and who are conscious at the time of presentation to casualty. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective observation study of patients presented to casualty with history of head injury, and who were conscious, i.e., Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) 15 at the time of evaluation. All patients underwent head CT scan. The CT scan was reported as abnormal if it showed any pathology ascribed to trauma. The following variables were used: age, gender, mode of injury (road traffic accident, fall, assault, and others), duration since injury, and history of transient loss of consciousness, headache, vomiting, ear/nose bleeding, and seizures. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the clinical features that predicted an abnormal CT scan. Results: During the observation period, a total of 1629 patients with head injury were evaluated, out of which 453 were in GCS 15. Abnormal CT scan was present in 195 (43%) patients. Among all the variables, the following were found significantly associated with abnormal CT scan: duration since injury (>12 h) P < 0.001; vomiting odds, ratio (OR) 1.89 (1.23, 2.80), P < 0.001; and presence of any symptom, OR 2.36 (1.52, 3.71), P < 0.001. Conclusion: A patient with GCS 15 presenting after 12 hours of injury with vomiting or combination of symptoms has a significant risk of abnormal head CT scan.

Abdominal Girth

Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare neoplastic illness with unique clinical and pathologic patterns. This disease characterized by being chronic, indolent, and relapsing. It is diagnostically challenging and very vague disease. It characterized by huge amounts of thick mucinous ascites with multiple omental and peritoneal implants that is gradually fill the abdominal and pelvic cavities. The most common clinical features are progressive abdominal distention with increase in the abdominal girth. Diagnosis of Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is usually difficult due to its vague symptoms especially in the early stages. Ultrasound examination is very useful and generally has pictures similar to that of CT scan images. Treatment of Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is cytoreductive (debulking) surgery to remove the mucin and the tumor implants in the peritoneal cavity. This is followed by intraoperative hyperthermic peritoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Recurrence of pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) patients is quite common as particularly when the disease is diagnosed and treated in the late stage.

Maxillary antral mucoceles are extremely rare. We report a case of a large antral mucocele presenting with facial asymmetry. The CT scan was essential for delineating the extent of the lesion and aiding in the pre-operative diagnosis. The pathogenesis, clinical features and radiological aspects of this entity are reviewed.
