AbstractA retropharyngeal pseudomeningocele after cervical vertebral fracture dislocation is an extremely rare complication and often associated with hydrocephalus. It usually presents with respiratory difficulty and dysphagia, sometimes as an incidental finding in radiological study. We reported a case of 45-year-old female patient who had posttraumatic lower cervical prevertebral retropharyngeal pseudomeningocele, found as an incidental finding in a routine radiological workup. Patient underwent ACDF but expired 2 weeks postoperatively due to respiratory failure. Although the prognosis of retropharyngeal pseudomeningocele depends upon the severity of initial trauma, early recognition and management can prevent enlargement of cyst and development of respiratory difficulty and dysphagia.

Osteolytic Lesions

The purpose of this article was to present a case report of 11–year old female patient with a large osteolytic mandibular lesion which healed after endodontic treatment. The patient was referred for radio diagnostics due to an incidental finding of a large osteolytic lesion of the area of the left lower first and second premolars in the panoramic radiograph taken before orthodontic treatment. CBCT was performed and the patient asked to have teeth 33-35 treated by endodontics before surgery. The patient missed the surgical appointment and when she reappeared several months later, the lesion showed signs of healing thus surgery were aborted. The presented case testifies to the observation that even large osteolytic lesions can heal after endodontic treatment without surgical approach.

We present a female patient with pregnancy associated with normal live birth and the unusual concomitance of chorangioma. It was an incidental finding during the routine microscopic examination of the placenta of the 30 year multipara whose pregnancy was clinically normal. She was admitted to the Bangladesh Medical College Hospital for labor at 34 weeks gestation. She was investigated thoroughly because of irregular pervaginal bleeding before delivary. Caesarian section was done at 37th weeks of pregnancy. The placenta was found enlarged, irregular and haemorrhagic. Histopathological examination from the sections of specimen was done and diagnosed as Chorangioma. The case is presented as below.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jom.v14i2.19671 J Medicine 2013, 14(2): 185-186

In this case report, we share our experience with an emerging complication in laparoscopic surgery caused by the use of barbed sutures for an off-label indication. We describe a postoperative volvulus caused by the adhesion of the small bowel and V-Loc suture after a ventral laparoscopic rectopexy in a 48-year-old female patient. We also suggest cutting flush the end of the V-Loc and extending the follow-up of these patients.

Risk Of Rupture

Incisional hernia Complicates only 2%-10%. Spontaneous evisceration of content is very rare but whenever it occurs, it demands emergency surgery, to prevent further obstruction, strangulation of bowel and to cover its contents. The hernial contents can be covered primarily by mesh repair if the general condition of the patient and local condition of the operative site allows or can be covered by skin followed by delayed mesh repair. Authors report such rare case of spontaneous evisceration of omentum in 35 years old female patient who was known case of incisional hernia for 2 years. Neglect for early operative intervention or delay in seeking the treatment for an incisional hernia increases the risk of rupture.

Laryngeal Nerve Palsy

Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve palsy following thyroidectomy is usually attributed to surgery whereas sometimes the cause can be non-surgical and can result in adductor palsy. Bilateral Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve (RLN) paralysis is a rare complication of thyroidectomy. We present a 35 years female patient who developed dysphonia due to bilateral adductor RLN palsy following total thyroidectomy. The clinical findings and recovery were suggestive of a non-surgical cause for palsy in this patient. The management of these patients differs and the knowledge in this regard is very important for the surgeons. Tracheostomy is not required, and recovery of the nerve occurs in most cases in adductor palsy.

An epiglottic abscess is a rare complication of acute epiglottitis and is life threatening. We describe a case report of a diabetic adult male, who presented with an epiglottic abscess. Culture results showed Aeromonas hydrophila, an organism rarely reported as a cause of acute epiglottitis. Early recognition can be lifesaving.

Vocal cord palsy as a result of tonsillectomy in local anesthesia is a very rare complication. In literature, there is only few publication describing this side effect of tonsillectomy. We present a case of 26 years old men who was classified for surgical removing of tonsils in local anesthesia using 1% lignocaine with 1:100 000 epinephrine. During the procedure respiratory failure with stridor was developed, examination using indirect laryngoscopy show bilateral vocal chord palsy. The authors present probably pathomechanism of this complication.

Background. Growing skull fracture or craniocerebral erosion is a rare complication of linear skull fracture in childhood. It is characterized by progressive diastatic enlargement of the fracture line, which leads to a cranial defect, dural cleft, and cerebral herniation. It is presented as a soft pulsabile scalp swelling above the fracture, with a clear cranial defect. Case report. In this paper we presented a patient, an 8-month-old boy with the growing skull fracture revealed four weeks after the injury. After the surgical treatment, the boy was in a good general condition without the presence of neurologic impairment. Conclusion. Early recognition of craniocerebral erosion is very important. Timely detection prevents further progression of the disease and the evolution of neurological impairment. Surgery is the method of choice for treating a growing skull fracture .
