Routine Physical Examination

A rare case of congenital supernumerary teeth, also known as hyperdontia, observed in a healthy 8-month-old female ewe is presented. The congenital defect consisted of the presence of 2 incisor teeth embedded in the lateral areas of the dental pad. The anomaly was found during a routine physical examination and no other congenital abnormalities were found in the patient. No prior congenital abnormalities had been seen in the herd and the study of possible associated teratogenic factors was inconclusive. To the authors’ knowledge, this ovine odontogenic abnormality has not been described in the literature and appears to be an extraordinarily rare condition.

Arhinia is an extremely rare condition reported in less than 100 cases so far. We report a case of arhinia with bilateral anophthalmia. In physical examination, only alar portions of the nose were partially formed. No septal, lower, upper lateral cartilages or nasal bones were detectable. Both nostrils were atretic. The orbital area was covered with skin, and eyebrows were partially formed. Bilateral complete cleft lip and palate were evident. Surgical interventions should be considered not only for reconstruction of the external nose but for timely creation of a lacrimal passage and repair of the accompanying cleft lip and palate.

Crossbred Cow

The udder is a very important organ and has economic value in dairy cattle. Though highly vulnerable to various disease conditions, e.g. mastitis, congenital anomalies in the udder are of rare occurrence (Dandale et al., 2013). Congenital abnormalities of the mammary system in cows comprise absence of teats, glands, supernumerary teats and imperforate teats. Absence of teat is extremely rare, but isolated cases in which the teats were only represented by slight eminences have been met with (O’ Connor, 1980). Athelia was reported in buffaloes by Sailendra and Sandhya (1998) and Vidyasagar (2009) and in a Japanese black heifer by Ghanem et al. (2011). In the present paper, a rare case of athelia in a Jersey crossbred cow and its therapeutic management by permanent cessation of lactation is reported.

Uncommon Condition

Congenital bilateral humeroradial synostosis (HRS) is a rare condition. It is generally divided into 2 categories. In the first group, which is mainly sporadic, additional upper limb hypoplasia typically coexists. In the second group, which is classically familial, HRS is commonly an isolated upper extremity anomaly. HRS can lead to variable degrees of functional disability. The clinical case reported here illustrates a possibly avoidable presentation of this uncommon condition. In this case report, we present a 6-week-old male who presented with bilateral radius fractures. Radiography revealed congenital HRS at both elbows. No other associated congenital abnormalities were detected, and there was no family history of similar conditions in any first-degree relatives. In cases of congenital HRS, movement at the elbow joint is not possible. Parents who are unaware of this information might try to straighten their infant’s elbows, which in turn may result in fractures of the proximal radius. Hence, early diagnosis and proper parental education could prevent fractures as a sequela of HRS.

Objectives: Muscle hypertrophy is a relatively rare condition that may cause nerve entrapment syndromes. We report the case of a 14-year-old girl with unilateral hypertrophy of the abductor hallucis muscle with entrapment of the medial plantar nerve and review the literature. Methods: Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed unilateral hypertrophy of the abductor hallucis muscle. Results: Two injections of steroid and lidocaine at the point of tenderness resulted in resolution of the pain. Conclusions: We report a rare case of hypertrophy of the abductor hallucis muscle considered with entrapment of the medial plantar nerve. Treatment of this condition should be selected according to the pathological condition of each patient.

Careful Physical Examination

Careful physical examination of the site of procedure before the caudal pain procedure should be performed because it could show the patient’s abnormal anatomical conditions. An abdominal binder could be used effectively in a patient showing CSF leakage in the coccygeal area, which is not controlled by conventional compressive dressing.

Congenital unilateral hypertrophy of the plantar musculature is a rare condition, and to our knowledge, reports of only 14 cases have been previously published. As only one describes a concomitant orthopedic toe deformity, we report our case of abductor hallucis, flexor digitorum brevis, and abductor digiti minimi muscle hypertrophy in combination with hallux valgus and claw toe deformity as well as a laterally abducted fifth toe. Thus, this report presents the rare case of congenital hypertrophy of the plantar musculature associated with complex toe deformities. Moreover, the present article contains a detailed description of our surgical technique as well as a review of the current literature.

Although an ascending aortic thrombus is a rare condition, it can cause serious complications of thromboembolism. Here we present a rare case of a patient who was hospitalized due to ileal arteries embolization caused by emboli from a giant thrombus in the ascending aorta. After 10 days anti-coagulation therapy, we performed a surgery to replace the ascending aorta containing the strip organized thrombus with a synthetic graft. During two years of postoperative follow-up, no recurrence of aortic thrombosis was found. Although the exact cause of this thrombus remains unclear, we believe that it is important to perform a surgery as soon as the presence of an ascending aortic thrombus is confirmed, which could help preventing the major recurrent embolic events.

The Newborn and Infant Physical Examination screening is a national screening programme which aims to identify infants with congenital abnormalities to minimise the risk of long-term complications. It involves a top to toe examination with special focus on the heart, eyes, testes and hips. The hip component of the Newborn and Infant Physical Examination screen aims to pick up infants with developmental dysplasia of the hips and refer them for appropriate treatment in a timely manner. Guidelines for the hip section of have recently changed. This article reviews these changes, the timings of the follow up and investigations, and the diagnosis and management of developmental dysplasia of the hips.
