AbstractIn this case report we describe a rare case of chondrosarcoma of the Temporomandibular joint in a 70 years old female who presented with a right preauricular swelling, trismus and neuralgic pain. On examination, firm and tender swelling was noted in the right preauricular region. CT Scan revealed 3.48 × 3.0 cm size mass lesion in the region of mandibular condyle and extending into the right temporomandibular joint space. The cytopathological report was suggestive of chondroid malignancy. The tumor was excised and histopathological examination showed large sheets of atypical tumor cells with cartilaginous matrix and diagnosis of a well differentiated Chondrosarcoma was confirmed. Post-surgical resection, patient remains disease free at 15 months follow up.

Introduction: Central nervous system (CNS) actinomycosis typically presents from the local spread of infection via the ear, sinus, or cervicofacial region, resulting most commonly in abscesses. Only one other case report reports on cerebral abscess with Actinomyces odontolyticus. Presentation of Case: A 60-year-old male presented with cognitive impairment and speech difficulties. Imaging revealed a cerebral abscess in the left temporal lobe causing significant mass effect and uncal herniation. Bony erosion was noted along the middle cranial fossa with fluid attenuation of the middle ear and mastoid. An emergent surgery was performed with neurosurgery and otolaryngology. Initially, a left craniotomy was performed in order to obtain access to the left temporal lobe. A vascularized flap was harvested from the fascia of the temporalis in order to repair any defects along the middle cranial fossa. The abscess was drained using ultrasound guidance. A mastoidectomy was then performed for source control. Cultures revealed Actinomyces odontolyticus for which intravenous antibiotics were administered. The patient developed postoperative seizures requiring monitoring and anti-epileptic medication. Follow-up revealed continued improvement in the patient’s cognition. Discussion: Cerebral abscess in the temporal lobe along the floor of the middle cranial fossa can be due to direct extension of infection from the middle ear or mastoid which requires a multidisciplinary approach to surgical treatment. Actinomycosis is a rare pathogen for CNS infection with only one other case report of CNS Actinomyces odontolyticus. Postoperative care in regards to antibiotic treatment and follow-up are also reviewed. Conclusion: The case highlights the urgency of treatment and surgical decision making made intraoperatively by both neurosurgery and otolaryngology in regards to drainage, repair of the defect, and treatment of infectious source.

Abstract Background Otomastoiditis is a very frequent affection and a current complication of mal-treated benign ear infections in children. However, this a very rare case of the association of two rare complications of otomastoiditis in a newborn. On the one hand, septic arthritis of the temporomandibular joint which is a very rare condition that is difficult to diagnose, and when unrecognized or not treated accordingly, it can resolve in serious infectious complication and or definitive injury to the temporomandibular joint. On the other hand, osteomyelitis of the clavicle is also very rare, and only a few cases have been cited in the literature concerning infants. Case presentation This 46-day-old infant was brought to pediatric emergency consultation for 2 swelling inflammatory bulges, one in the right mastoid and pre-auricular regions, and another in the right basi-cervical area. The infant was hypertrophic febrile, hypotonic, and pale. He had preserved archaic reflexes. Besides, blood test showed an inflammatory syndrome, inflammatory anemia, and no other abnormalities. Upon supplementary computed tomodensitometry exam, the diagnosis of a combination of septic arthritis of the right temporomandibular joint and sub-periosteal abscess of the ipsilateral clavicle in a context of hypotrophy and malnutrition was suspected. A pus sample was obtained for bacteriological evaluation, after which the infant had a course of intravenous associated antibiotics, along with nutritional assessment and management. Surgical drainage of both collections was performed. The 6-month follow-up was satisfactory, without clinical signs of functional impact on temporomandibular joint, or acromioclavicular joint. Conclusion This work stresses the necessity of thorough clinical examination of infants even in cases of benign ear infections, as well as the importance of adapted treatment and follow-up, which could allow early diagnosis, appropriate treatment, or even prevention of severe complications that can be associated with such benign conditions.
