Facial lacerations are a common presentation in emergency departments. It is important to appreciate the mechanism of injury and the anatomy of structures involved in penetrating lacerations in the maxillofacial region. A 65-year-old man suffered an accidental penetrating injury with a sharp kitchen knife to the right temporal region. There was a single laceration to the right temporal region. The right eye had no perception to light, a total afferent and efferent pupillary defect and partial ophthalmoplegia. Computerised tomography scan revealed signs of penetration through the skin, temporalis, postero-lateral orbital wall and orbital apex. There was no injury to the globe or either retrobulbar or intracranial haemorrhage. A diagnosis of direct traumatic optic neuropathy was made following consultation with opthalmology and neurosurgery teams. Only two similar cases of penetrating trauma in the temporal region resulting in direct traumatic optic neuropathy have been identified in the literature. This case presentation highlights the structures that are at risk of damage from penetrating trauma in the maxillofacial region.

This report describes the case of an 83 years old woman presenting to hospital due to a fall, and acute confusion. On admission, she was diagnosed as having clinical and plain X-ray features of a pneumonia. Following treatment and recovery from the pneumonia, she was noted to have persistent clinical signs of bilateral lung crackles on auscultation. A high-resolution computerised tomography scan showed signs of interstitial lung disease consistent with pulmonary fibrosis. Of relevance was a medication history that indicated oral nitrofurantoin had been initiated in primary care for the long-term prophylaxis of recurrent urinary tract infections. Given the prolonged duration of use of ten years, we considered the possibility of this being an adverse drug reaction in the form of nitrofurantoin associated pulmonary fibrosis. This report also briefly reviews the relevant literature on nitrofurantoin associated pulmonary fibrosis and to promote objectivity in the pharmacovigilance related reporting. The report has been reviewed with the aid of two validated causality assessment systems.

AbstractWe present a neonate with an antenatal diagnosis of Scimitar syndrome and aortic arch hypoplasia. After delivery, computerised tomography scan additionally revealed an anomalous origin of the circumflex coronary artery from the main pulmonary artery. The management of this rare combination is discussed.

AbstractStereotactic biopsy is a common minimal access neurosurgical procedure. It requires a stereotactic frame to be secured on the head, and thereafter, based on computerised tomography scan markings on the frame, precise biopsy is retrieved. For anaesthesiologists, the application of frame poses difficulty in accessing the upper airway with the conventional laryngoscopy-intubation methodology. The various airway-access limitations imposed by an ‘in-place’ frame can be problematic and should be addressed. This report elucidates the problems caused by the presence of stereotactic frame in the management of upper airway. The approach to upper airway can be variable on a case-to-case basis, depending on attending anaesthesiologists’ decision-making and availability of equipments/devices. Here, the, recommendations on the problematic points and the suggested way thereof are presented.
