A three-month-old pot-bellied pig presented for acute paraplegia following a presumptive fall. CT examination identified a vertebral subluxation of L1–L2 with a comminuted fracture of the L1 vertebra. Spinal stabilisation was performed with polyvinilidine (Lubra) plates. The pig improved neurologically and regained the ability to walk. Spinal radiographs six weeks following surgery revealed partial failure of the plates in the caudal aspect of the vertebral column and suspected pressure atrophy of spinous processes. Eighteen months later, the plates were piercing through the skin, so they were removed surgically and the pig did well from then on. This case report describes the feasibility of spinal stabilisation in a pot-bellied pig associated with a good outcome, but also reveals potential complications and spinal changes that can be observed after use of polyvinilidine plates in this species.

Acute Paraplegia

Paraplegia is a rare postoperative complication. We present a case of acute paraplegia after elective gastrectomy surgery because of cervical disc herniation. The 73-year-old man has the medical history of cervical spondylitis with only symptom of temporary pain in neck and shoulder. Although the patient’s neck was cautiously preserved by using the Discopo, an acute paraplegia emerged at about 10 hours after the operation. Severe compression of the spinal cord by herniation of the C4-C5 cervical disc was diagnosed and emergency surgical decompression was performed immediately. Unfortunately the patient showed limited improvement in neurologic deficits even after 11 months.

Worldwide occurrence of snakebite in pregnancy is little known in medical literature. Furthermore to the best of our knowledge there is no case report on Krait envenomation in pregnancy in Bangladesh. It carries significant fetal wastage and maternal morbidity and mortality. Here we report a mutligravida aged 27 years at her 24 weeks of gestation with krait bite with neuroparesis with good obstetrical outcome.Bangladesh J Medicine Jul 2016; 27(2) : 86-88

Extent Of Damage

Temporomandibular ankylosis, even though considered to be of a relatively rare emergence, can be encountered in day-to-day clinical practice. Most cases follow a typical, if not identical anamnesis pattern. The background of mechanical difficulties manifestation is associated with some trauma. The animals usually suffer a severe blow to the head, leading to a gradual development of the defect, which unfortunately most owners are not aware of, or claim not to be. This case report describes a typical incidence of post traumatic ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The patient suffered a blow to the head at the age of 4 months, the clinical aftermath of which was a gradual difficulty in opening the mouth. A CT examination revealed the extent of damage in the region of the zygomatic arch, affecting also the corresponding TMJ. For this particular case, a surgical intervention was the only course of treatment, meaning the resection of arcus zygomaticus and the TMJ. The procedure was scheduled to be performed 14 days post the CT examination. Due to the fact that the changes were located only on the lateral surface of the TMJ, the plan was to resect and remove the affected area only, with the medial part of the TMJ left intact and in position. The joint capsule was then sutured. This approach proved to be very beneficial and effective in the outcome of the surgery and in aiding in the overall comfort of the patient.

We present a case of bilateral anterior superior iliac spine avulsion fractures in an adult patient who was involved in a road traffic collision. Her injuries were managed conservatively and she has had an uncomplicated recovery with a good outcome. This is, to our knowledge, the only reported case of bilateral simultaneous anterior superior iliac spine apophyseal avulsion fractures in an adult.

Detailed Imaging

Abstract Baastrup’s disease is a rare condition of the vertebral column often misdiagnosed and wrongly treated due to poor knowledge, characterized by low back pain arising from the close approximation of adjacent posterior spinous processes and resultant degenerative changes. Diagnosis rests on clinical examination and detailed imaging studies. Proposed therapies include conservative treatment, percutaneous infiltrations or surgical therapies. We present the case of a 31-year-old man with persistent chronic lumbago for several years. In whom, the diagnosis of Baastrup’s disease was high suspected clinically, with a final surgical treatment despite the absence of inflammation on imaging studies, which allowed the diagnostic confirmation and the return to a normal social and professional life. We wish through this case, to expose the different steps of interventional diagnostic/therapeutical procedures until the surgical management in a clinical suspicion of Baastrup’s diseases with unclear radiological findings.
