Martorell’s hypertensive leg ulcer: case report and concise review of the literature

Abstract Aim The aim of this article is to report a case of bilateral multiple impacted supernumerary teeth. A discussion of possible mechanisms of development is also presented along with a concise review of the literature. Background Supernumerary teeth occur in the context of various scenarios in the primary and the permanent dentition. Multiple supernumerary teeth are a rare finding especially in the absence of associated syndrome or disease. Report A case of bilateral multiple impacted supernumerary teeth localized to the mandibular premolar region is reported. Some of the supernumerary teeth as well as the erupted premolars had persistent open apices. Coronal malformation of the right maxillary first premolar was another interesting finding. There was an absence of any concomitant disease. Summary The aforementioned combination of findings has not been reported previously. The anatomical, geometrical, and spatial relationships of supernumerary teeth with their erupted equivalents may shed light on some controversial aspects of the etiology.

Concise Review

We report a 57-year-old patient with birdshot chorioretinopathy (BCR) who was treated with bilateral Ozurdex injections. The patient's vitritis resolved, and visual acuity improved following this treatment. This is only the second case report focused on the treatment of BCR with Ozurdex and the first to report its use for treating vitritis. A concise review of the literature on the use of intravitreal steroids for this disease is provided. This case serves to report the clinical usefulness of Ozurdex in treating posterior vitritis associated with BCR even in the absence of macular edema.

Ulcer Case

Background: Recent advances in care aware that inadequate management of the healing process in wounds and the development of bacterial infections leads to increase morbidity. Health professionals have progressively recognized the value of choosing suitable dressings to manage wounds particularly in developing countries. Honey has been used for thousands of years as a wound dressing and considered as biologic treatment due to its multiple bioactivities related to healing process. Objective: The aim of this case report is to demonstrate that Argania Honey dressing improve the healing process in a venous leg ulcer. Method: Pure raw Argania honey (Argania spinosa, endemic tree in southwestern of Morocco) with no additives, pasteurization, or manipulation was used and provided from local beekeepers. A mechanical debridement process was achieved previously to the application of honey dressings to a venous leg ulcer of a 67-year-old woman affected by type II diabetes for 11 years. Results : The Argania honey dressing accompanied by mechanical debridement process demonstrated a rapid recovery and complete healing of the wound for 12 weeks approximately (79 days). Conclusion: This Moroccan honey (Argania) experienced for the first time in venous leg ulcer management may represent a good alternative to treat other types of wounds. Further investigations by using Argania honey dressing are required to explain its effect and the mechanisms involved in the improvement of healing process.
