Secondary Complication

Three cases of acute Pasteurella pestis meningitis occurred in a plague outbreak in New Mexico in 1965. Acute plague meningitis has occasionally been seen in other areas of the world. This entity almost invariably develops as a secondary complication of bubonic plague, and a critical review of the literature raises serious question about the existence of primary meningitis due to P. pestis. Treatment of these three cases and experience with plague therapy are discussed. Early recognition of plague infection, including its more unusual complications (such as meningitis), is essential for appropriate treatment and cure.

Rare Lesion

Hamartoma of the larynx is an extremely rare lesion, and the number of well-documented and acceptable cases is limited. The world literature is critically reviewed in order to develop a more accurate clinicopathological profile of this tumorlike malformation, which has to be differentiated from choristoma, teratoma, and rhabdomyoma, among others. Management consists of local excision, and the prognosis is good.

Early Surgical Intervention

Cecal volvulus is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction, with multifactorial etiologies. This is a case report describing a 52-year-old female with a cecal volvulus diagnosis made during the laparotomy procedure, which was treated with a right hemicolectomy with a side-to-side ileotransverse anastomosis. The aim of this report is to emphasize the importance of a diagnosis and appropriate treatment in this rare pathology in abdominal procedures. In this particular case, the patient benefited from an early surgical intervention without further complications, as well as an adequate postoperative evolution; it is important to acknowledge and consider this pathology during differential diagnosis, and not delay the treatment in patients with cecal volvulus. A critical review of the literature is included and discussed.

Abstract Twenty cases of facial neuralgia associated with tumors of the contralateral posterior fossa were collected from the world literature. Only four of these conform to the description of typical trigeminal neuralgia. We report on a fifth such case with a critical review of the literature. Subtotal excision of the tumor improves the pain and may convert a carbamazepine-resistant neuralgia into a responsive one. Total excision is often followed by a cure. Faced with such a case, the tumor should always be excised first, as this usually cures the neuralgia. Surgical treatment of the neuralgia in the presence of the tumor may be followed by disastrous results. An alternative hypothesis to the pathogenesis of the contralateral neuralgia is presented.
