This case report presents a 51 year old female patient who had a train accident in 1999. She suffered bilateral trans-tibial and bilateral trans-radial amputations. In this paper, the evolution of the right transradial amputation where eventually a Krukenberg procedure was performed, is described as is its good functional outcome after rehabilitation treatment. After this first procedure the patient also asked for the Krukenberg procedure for her left arm.

Introduction. Nonunion of long bones may often be associated with significant function loss of affected extremity, joint stiffness, and even extremity amputation or systemic manifestations in the case of infection. The aim of this case report is to highlight the possibilities of Ilizarov apparatus in the treatment of fracture nonunions of both lower legs treated by different operative methods and to show that it is not necessary to remove osteosynthetic material (intramedullary nail) in every case when nonunion occurs to achieve its recovery. Case Report. A 62 year-old man was injured in a traffic accident as a pedestrian in April 2012, when he experienced polytrauma, including shaft fracture of the right femur, and segmental open fractures of the right (Gustillo-Anderson grade I) and left (Gustillo-Anderson grade II) lower leg. The fractures of right femur and right tibia were stabilized initially with intramedullary nails, while the left lower leg fracture was treated by unilateral external fixator. After 5 months, there were no clinical and radiographic signs of union on lower legs, therefore the patient underwent re-surgery. Ilizarov apparatus was applied on both lower legs. The patient was early verticalized and both apparatus were removed after 4 months. According to the modified protocol of the Association for the Study and Application of Methods of Ilizarov, the lower leg bony results were good and excellent, and the functional results were excellent on both sides. Conclusion. Nonunion fracture of the right lower leg initially treated by the method of intramedullary osteosynthesis and afterwards by placing Ilizarov apparatus shows that in some cases it is not indicated to remove fixative material in order to achieve full recovery of fracture, thus eliminating the danger of all negative effects resulting from the classical extensive surgical treatment.

BACKGROUND: Postoperative lymphatic complications are not common, and lymphatic leakage complication post appendectomy (LLCPC) is even rarer. However, the number of this operation is high so LLCPC can occur. CASE REPORT: Here, we report a female patient post appendectomy with severe chylous ascites. This patient underwent six operations. A leakage point at the right iliac-fossa, which was embolized successfully after two sessions, was spotted during intranodal lymphangiography. After 6 months, the ascites were significantly reduced while some lymphatic aneurysms still existed in the lumbar-retroperitoneal region. CONCLUSIONS: Basing the knowledge of this clinical case and literature, we have concluded that lymphatic leakage can be diagnosed and embolized by percutaneous intervention.

In 2018, a 59-year-old female patient presented with hoarseness in her voice, headache, intermittent pain in her right side, difficulty of right arm movement, left side neck pain, difficulty controlling hypertension of unknown etiology, and a large mass on the upper left side of her neck with a smaller mass on the right side. MRI of the neck revealed masses at each carotid bifurcation. These were determined to be bilateral paragangliomas. Paragangliomas are rare tumors, and bilateral ones tremendously so. The patient underwent radiation over 2 years, resulting in the successful shrinking and stabilization of both masses. Since completing radiation, the patient reported improvement in her memory, and her blood pressure has stabilized with medication.

Chondromais considered a nonmalignant tumor that composed of mature hyaline cartilage and commonly occur in hands and feet. Overall incidents show that females are predominant comparing to males with evenly distributed range of ages. Multiple chondromas have to be differentiated from osteochondroma and chondrosarcoma. This paper reports three different types of lesions in one patient.Osteochondroma or exostosis is the most common benign tumor of the skeleton. It is a developmental osseous anomaly, which arises from exophytic outgrowth on bone surfaces characteristically. Osteochondroma account for about 12% of bone tumors. Here, we have described a 22 years old female patient with left knee joint pain and swelling of the left distal femur with limited movements. The incisional biopsy of the left distal femur identified low-grade chondrosarcoma and chondroma after histopathology. This underwent one-stage surgical excision of the tumor with a posterior approach and tumor resection from the femur. After surgery, an unusual pain appears in the right hip joint during the post-operative period.Machine resonance imaging (MRI), and X-ray of pelvis help to diagnose thewell-differentiated chondrosarcoma and chondroma. This was a case of osteochondroma in the right proximal femur, chondroma like lesion in the left proximal femur and chondrosarcoma in the left distal femur. Ethical consideration: Written informed consent was obtained from the patient for publication of this case report and accompanying images. Conflict of interest: There is no conflict of interest.

Tuberous sclerosis (TS) is a relatively rare multi-organ disorder generally diagnosed in infancy and described as a clinical triad of sebaceous adenoma, mental retardation, and seizures. Angiomyolipoma (AML) is the most common benign renal tumor usually found incidentally as a solitary small echogenic lesion on grayscale ultrasound. Less commonly, it is part of the TS complex and is seen as multiple lesions in both kidneys. We describe an unusual case of TS incidentally diagnosed in a 37-year-old female patient with several and bilateral renal AMLs and a single cortical–subcortical tuber in the right parieto-occipital cerebral lobe.

Isolated dislocation of the trapezium is an uncommon injury. There are sixteen cases to date reported in the literature. The management of these cases has varied from complete excision to open or closed reduction, with or without percutaneous wiring. This paper presents a case of an isolated dislocation of the trapezium without fracture, managed with closed reduction and percutaneous wiring, resulting in a good functional outcome.

Purpose: Report an atypical Familial Retinal Arterial Tortuosity (FRAT) case associated with Hereditary Angiopathy with Nephropathy, Aneurysm and Cramps (HANAC). Methods: The authors report the case of a female patient with FRAT and HANAC, and an asymmetric ocular presentation which is unusual in Familial Retinal Arterial Tortuosity patients. Conclusion: These findings help in better understanding this rare disease. HANAC Syndrome is not a common issue; thus, it is essential to understand it to make the right diagnosis. Careful ophthalmological examination plays a key role in this process since, in the herein reported case, it could have helped to diagnose a disease capable of affecting a patient’s health, although it was an atypical ocular impairment.
