The hypoplastic mandible results in facial convergence and pseudo-prognathism. We present a patient with significant maxillary hypoplasia in both the vertical and sagittal dimensions resulting in a reverse occlusal plane. Given the significant maxillary movements required, particularly clockwise rotation, more traditional mandibular osteotomies resulted in an unsatisfactory result. A modified version to the classic “C” osteotomy with the use of surgical planning and cutting guides was performed. A review of the literature on this rarely discussed ramus osteotomy is also presented.

Seizures are a common presenting complaint in acute medicine and post-ictal patients can pose a diagnostic challenge. Approximately 1% of patients presenting after a seizure will have sustained a fracture. Delayed diagnosis is common and can lead to worse functional outcomes. A case of occult bilateral neck of femur fracture secondary to seizure is presented together with a review of the literature.

Cystic and bullous lung transformation occurs in diseases of various origins: neoplastic, genetically determined, rheumatic, lymphoproliferative, and infectious diseases. The paper presents a review of the literature and a clinical case of a young female patient with a long history of Sjögren's disease. Fifteen years after the onset of the disease, the patient developed cystic and bullous lung transformation and renal angiomyolipoma, which are regarded as a manifestation of probable lymphangioleiomyomatosis.

We report a case of appendiceal intussusception which was erroneously labelled as a 10-mm polypoid caecal lesion on colonoscopy and, therefore, followed up over an 11-year period before the correct diagnosis was made. We present the radiological and endoscopic appearance of appendiceal intussusception and a review of the literature.

Hypothenar hammer syndrome is a rare condition with a peculiar presentation that aids in making a clinical diagnosis. We present a 22-year-old male patient who presented with critical hand ischemia secondary to a distal ulnar aneurysm with distal embolization. The patient was treated with an aneurysmectomy with cephalic vein interposition graft, which resulted in complete reversal of his hand ischemia. This case report outlines the clinical presentation of this rare condition, along with a recent review of the literature.

AbstractObjective:To highlight the importance of pre-operative review of sesta-methoxyisobutylisonitrile imaging before parathyroid surgery.Case report:Technetium-99 m sesta-methoxyisobutylisonitrile scanning is a well established imaging modality undertaken to locate the parathyroid glands prior to parathyroidectomy. Because of the relative lack of detail in the images obtained, the radiological report is normally the most important piece of information used by the surgeon for surgical planning. We report a case that illustrates the importance of surgical image review prior to revision parathyroid surgery. We also present a review of literature highlighting the need for surgical review of such imaging.Conclusion:We propose that surgeons routinely review sesta-methoxyisobutylisonitrile images pre-operatively.

Granulomatous periorificial dermatitis (GPD) is a benign, self-limiting eruption that is considered a clinical variant of periorificial dermatitis, also known as perioral dermatitis. It presents primarily in prepubertal children as monomorphic scaly papules over perioral, paranasal and periorbital areas of the face with rare occurrence in adults. We report a 36-year-old Omani male patient who presented to the Dermatology Clinic at Bahla Polyclinic, Bahla, Oman, in 2018 with a papular eruption over his face for the previous six months. Based on clinical and histopathological findings the patient was diagnosed with GPD with sarcoid-like histology. He was treated effectively with oral doxycycline and topical metronidazole. This report provides a review of the literature on GPD and summarises all reported cases in adults to date.Keywords: Perioral Dermatitis; Dermatitis; Granulomas; Case Report; Oman.

AbstractWe present a case of chronic wrist pain in a 14-year-old child with mild radial longitudinal deficiency and radiographic carpal collapse due to the absence of the scaphoid. Wrist arthroscopy demonstrated synovitis and a tear to the TFCC, which would be called “degenerative,” according to the Palmer classification. This was debrided, and the patient is still asymptomatic at long-term follow-up. Review of the literature found one paper with a similar observation in a 17-year-old adolescent. We propose that paediatric “degenerative” tears ought to be called “congenitally adapted” tears.

Objective: Congenital cholesteatomas of the petrous apex are rare lesions that develop insidiously, which delays diagnosis and requires a high index of suspicion. A case report of supralabyrinthine congenital petrous bone cholesteatoma and review of recent literature are presented. Methods: A 27-year-old woman presented with progressive facial palsy. Otomicroscopy did not reveal any abnormalities, and hearing was normal. Although there were no complaints of vertigo or instability, vestibular examinations indicated a non-compensated peripheral vestibular lesion. Radiological examinations revealed a lesion in the petrous apex and epitympanum that had features of a cholesteatoma. Results: To preserve normal hearing, the middle fossa approach was chosen for surgery. A damaged part of the facial nerve was reconstructed with cable graft. Conclusion: Advances in radiological imaging facilitate surgical planning, and improvements in the techniques of lateral skull base surgery enable safe and radical removal of petrous bone cholesteatomas with minimal morbidity.

Mandibular second premolars rank third after third permanent molars and maxillary permanent canines in frequency of impaction. They are found impacted at different angulations and positions and should be carefully evaluated radiographically during treatment planning. This article reports a rare occurrence of bucco-lingually impacted mandibular second premolar treated with odontectomy and odontotomy with a brief review of the literature.
