Uneventful Pregnancy

Tibial aplasia is an uncommon lower limb malformation that can occur isolated or be part of a more complex malformation pattern. We describe a 9-year-old boy born after uneventful pregnancy and delivery. Family history was negative for maternal diabetes and other malformations. The patient presented with left tibial aplasia and homolateral prexial foot polydactyly. He also displayed enamel dysplasia and bifid scotum with cryptorchidism. Literature review failed to identify a significant syndromic association between lower limb defects of the tibial type and the genital anomalies reported here. The combination of tibial aplasia with midline genital malformations further supports the hypothesis that the tibial ray development mirrors the morphogenetic process of the radial structures. Accordingly, the malformation pattern observed in the present patient may be pathogenetically explained by an insult occurring during late blastogenesis.

Internal Jugular Vein Thrombosis

Abstract Background Managing thrombosis in rare sites is challenging. Existing studies and guidelines provide detailed explanations on how to overcome lower-limb thromboses and pulmonary embolisms, but few studies have examined thrombosis in rare sites. Lack of data makes clinical practice heterogeneous. Recommendations for diagnosing, treating, and following-up internal jugular vein thrombosis are not clearly defined and mostly based on adapted guidelines for lower-limb thrombosis. Case presentation A 52-year-old Caucasian woman came to the Emergency Department with chest, neck, and left arm pain. Computed tomography imagery showed a left internal jugular vein thrombosis. An extensive workup revealed a heterozygous factor V Leiden gene. Therapy was initiated with intravenous unfractionated heparin, then switched to oral acenocoumarol, which resolved the symptoms. Based on this case presentation and a literature review, we summarize the causes, treatment options, and prognosis of unprovoked internal jugular vein thrombosis. Conclusions Managing internal jugular vein thrombosis lacks scientific data from large randomized clinical trials, partly because such thromboses are rare. Our literature review suggested that clinical treatments for internal jugular vein thrombosis often followed recommendations for treating lower-limb thrombosis. Future specific studies are required to guide clinicians on the modalities of diagnosis, screening for thrombophilia or oncologic disease, treatment duration, and follow-up.

Lower limb rotational problems in the patient with cerebral palsy represent a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to the clinician. A literature review suggests that increased muscle tone may be the cause of these problems. This article proposes a simple diagnostic plan and discusses the various treatment plans and options.

ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis is an irreversible, progressive, degenerative joint disorder of multifactorial etiology that commonly affects weight-bearing joints and leads to pain, loss of movement and functional limitation. Exercise therapy has been shown to be beneficial in osteoarthritis, in terms of decreased pain, improved motion and improved functional outcomes. This review aims to look at some of the common as well as newer modalities of exercise therapy for osteoarthritis (OA), such as strength, training, stretching, agility training, aquatic exercises, Tai Chi and combinations of these modalities.
