Unusual Foreign Body

AbstractA case of a swallowed foreign body migrating from the pharynx into the soft tissues of the neck is presented, whose management was complicated by its undetected migration to the superior mediastinum occurring between radiological localization in the neck three days prior to exploration and its attempted removal. A median sternotomy was then required to retrieve the object. Radiological guidance with regard to the localization of a foreign body in the neck can only be relied on when performed immediately prior to surgical removal.

Foreign bodies in maxillary sinuses are unusual clinical conditions, and they can cause chronic sinusitis by mucosal irritation. Most cases of foreign bodies in maxillary sinus are related to iatrogenic dental manipulation and only a few cases with non-dental origin are reported. Oroantral fistulas secondary to dental procedures are the most common way of insertion. Treatment is surgical removal of the foreign body either endoscopically or with a combined approach, with Caldwell-Luc procedure if endoscopic approach is inadequate for visualisation. In this case, we present a 24-year-old male patient with unilateral chronic maxillary sinusitis due to a wooden toothpick in left maxillary sinus. The patient had a history of upper second premolar tooth extraction. CT scan revealed sinus opacification with presence of a foreign body in left maxillary sinus extending from the floor of the sinus to the orbital base. The foreign body, a wooden toothpick, was removed with Caldwell-Luc procedure since it was impossible to remove the toothpick endoscopically. There was no obvious oroantral fistula in the time of surgery, but the position of the toothpick made us to think that it was inserted through a previously healed fistula, willingly or accidentally.

Spring Coil

We report a rare case of an unusual impacted foreign body (titanium mesh stent) in the hypopharynx and upper oesophagus of a 66-year-old gentleman. He was a known patient with carcinoma of the mid-oesophagus admitted under the gastroenterologists for dilatation of the carcinomatous stricture with a stent. During the procedure the titanium mesh spring coil got displaced and was impacted in the retropharyngeal space, submucosally in the hypopharynx and upper oesophagus. He was referred to us for surgical removal of the stent, which he underwent successfully. We believe this to be the first case of such an unusual foreign body to be reported in the literature.

Foreign bodies can be found in the soft tissues of the face and in the maxillary bones in routine radiographic examinations. In the majority they do not present symptomatology. The removal of foreign bodies without the accurate location can cause severe complications. We present a case of 44-year-old male complaining an unusual foreign body in the lower lip region. Radiography did not reveal the exact location, and did not let a resolution at first time. Subsequently, the surgical treatment was effective with the aid of navigation-assisted fluoroscopy that showed the precise location of the foreign body for removal and avoided more discomfort to the patient.Descriptors: Foreign Bodies; Fluoroscopy; Traumatology.

Zirconia Implant

CAD/CAM technology can enhance the dentistry application of ceramic materials that meet the more relevant biocompatibility and aesthetics demands. In implant-borne prosthesis rehabilitation, yttria-stabilized zirconia appeared to be a valid alternative to metal-alloys and titanium, with comparable mechanical properties and even better interaction with bone and soft tissues. The improvement of monolithic CAD/CAM manufacturing allows for a reliable, predictable, and rapid workflow that can correspond to a holistic treatment philosophy associated with zirconia fixtures. This reported clinical case highlights the advantages of this approach in resolving particularly functionally and aesthetically complex situations. A 40-year-old patient with permanent canine impaction and the persistence of a deciduous tooth compromised by caries was successfully rehabilitated with the surgical removal of the enclosed tooth, the seating of a mono-phase zirconia implant after the deciduous extraction and its loading with a zirconia single crown, without any clinical or radiographical alteration up to seven years follow-up.

✓ Hemangiopericytoma is a vascular neoplasm consisting of capillaries outlined by an intact basement membrane that separates the endothelial cells of the capillaries from the spindle-shaped tumor cells in the extravascular area. These neoplasms are found in soft tissues but have rarely been shown to involve the spinal canal. This is a report of three such cases. Surgical removal of the tumor from the spinal canal was technically difficult. A high risk of recurrence has been reported but in these three cases adjunctive radiotherapy appeared to be of benefit in controlling the progression of the disease. These cases, added to the six cases in the literature, confirm the existence of hemangiopericytoma involving the vertebral column with extension into the spinal canal. This entity should be included in the differential diagnosis of lesions of the spinal canal. The risk of intraoperative hemorrhage should be anticipated.

Healing Processes

The healing processes of sutured wounds of soft tissues in most cases depend on the type and quality of the suture material. Any kind of suture material in the tissues of the body is a foreign body that causes various reactive changes from the tissues. The nature of these changes, all other things being equal, is mainly determined by the type of suture material, its thickness and the method of sterilization of the tissues on which the sutures are applied, the trauma of surgery, the infection of the wound and the irritating effect of the threads on the tissues.
