Surgical Rib Fixation

Costochondral separation is a rare phenomenon following blunt thoracic trauma that can also be associated with secondary injuries. We present a case with complete costochondral separation of the right second rib with concomitant mediastinal compression. Definitive treatment was provided through video-assisted thoracoscopic surgical plate osteosynthesis.

Introduction. Pneumoscrotum is a rare clinical entity. It presents with swollen scrotal sac and sometimes with palpable crepitus. It has many etiologies. One of them is due to blunt trauma of the thoracic cage, causing pneumothorax and/or pneumomediastinum.Case Presentation. We report the case of an 82-year-old male who was transferred to the Emergency Department with signs of respiratory distress after a blunt chest trauma. A CT scan was obtained, and bilateral pneumothoraces with four broken ribs were disclosed. Subcutaneous emphysema expanding from the eyelids to the scrotum was observed, and a chest tube was inserted on the right side with immediate improvement of the vital signs of the patient.Discussion. Pneumoscrotum has three major etiologies: (a) local introduction of air or infection from gas-producing bacteria, (b) pneumoperitoneum, and (c) air accumulation from lungs, mediastinum, or retroperitoneum. These sources account for most of the cases described in the literature. Treatment should be individualized, and surgical consultation should be obtained in all cases.Conclusion. Although pneumoscrotum itself is a benign entity, the process by which air accumulates in the scrotum must be clarified, and treatment must target the primary cause.

Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is the most common cancer among head and neck cancer that usually presented with unilateral neck mass. Unusual symptoms of NPC can lead us to diagnosis misleading and delayed definitive treatment. We present a case of NPC with bone metastasis in the shoulder. A 33-year-old female presented with right shoulder mass caused by undifferentiated carcinoma of unknown primary, based on biopsy of shoulder mass. After four months, she was complaining painless neck swelling, headache, and hearing impairment in the left ear. Bone MRI showed malignant bone tumour in the right humerus. Neck CT scan showed mass in the nasopharyngeal and bilateral lymphadenopathy. Biopsy in nasopharyngeal revealed undifferentiated carcinoma of nasopharyngeal cancer (WHO-3 type A). The patient was diagnosed as NPC stage IVb and thus was treated with palliative chemotherapy. After three cycles of cisplatin docetaxel, patient condition improved.
