Disease Case

ABSTRACT Jacob’s disease or osteochondroma is a rare disease that presents as a pseudo-joint between the coronoid process of the mandible and the posterior surface of the zygomatic bone. The present case report is of an 11-year-old female patient with a maximum mouth opening of 2mm. When evaluating computed tomography with three-dimensional reconstruction, a mushroom-shaped increase in the coronoid process of the mandible on the left side was observed, intimately connected to the zygomatic bone (inferoposterior region of the body of the zygoma), which suggests a pseudoarticulation. Surgical removal of the tumor mass was performed under general anesthesia via intraoral access and is called coronoidectomy. Histopathological, the presence of hyaline cartilage was observed, a condition that is pathognomonic for Jacob’s Disease. Jacob’s disease case reports are still rare in the literature, with mushroom shape and histopathological confirmation due to the presence of hyaline cartilage.

Cavernous hemangiomas are benign tumours of mesodermal origin. Even though various localizations of hemangioma have been described in the literature, its occurrence in the greater omentum is very rare. Only symptomatic hemangiomas are indicated for surgical treatment. There are case reports presenting resection or surgical removal of the greater omentum with hemangioma because of mechanical syndrome, consumption coagulopathy, bleeding, infection or suspicion of a malignancy. This article presents a case report of a patient operated on for a suspicion of carcinomatosis of the greater omentum. Histological examination found hemangiomatosis in the resected greater omentum.

Rationale: Linezolid (LNZ) induced Cutaneous Adverse Drug Reactions (CADRs) have rare atypical presentation. Till date, there are very few published case reports on LNZ induced CADRs among the multidrug-resistant patients suffering from Infective Endocarditis (MDR IE). Here, we present a rare case report of LNZ induced CARs in a MDR IE patient. Case report: A 24-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital with chief complaints of fever (101°C) associated with rigors, chills, and shortness of breath (grade IV) for the past 4 days. She was diagnosed with MDR IE, having a prior history of rheumatic heart disease. She was prescribed LNZ 600mg IV BD for MDR IE, against Staphylococcus coagulase-negative. The patient experienced flares of cutaneous reactions with multiple hyper-pigmented maculopapular lesions all over the body after one week of LNZ therapy. Upon causality assessment, she was found to be suffering from LNZ induced CADRs. LNZ dose was tapered gradually and discontinued. The patient was prescribed corticosteroids along with other supportive care. Her reactions completely subsided and infection got controlled following 1 month of therapy. Conclusion: Healthcare professionals should be vigilant for rare CADRs, while monitoring the patients on LNZ therapy especially in MDR patients as they are exposed to multiple drugs. Moreover, strengthened spontaneous reporting is required for better quantification.

Embryonal Tumor

Embryonal tumor with abundant neuropil and true rosettes (ETANTR) is rarely seen in the brainstem, and there are few case reports of brainstem ETANTR in the literature. Accordingly, the characteristics and the role of surgical treatment of this rare entity remain unclear. The authors present a case of brainstem ETANTR involving a 33-month-old boy along with a review of the literature and discuss the role of surgical removal in the treatment of this entity. In the authors’ case, the tumor was surgically treated with subtotal resection, which resulted in improvement of the patient’s preoperative symptoms. Chemotherapy was initiated but did not appear to be effective, radiotherapy was declined, and the boy died 6 months after the operation. Based on their analysis of 10 previously reported cases and their own case, the authors conclude that, with respect to survival, surgery may be beneficial even in cases of ETANTR in the brainstem. They note, however, that further studies with a large number of cases are needed to validate the role of surgical treatment in brainstem ETANTR.

OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of a medication bezoar and to review the clinical presentation, diagnosis, risk factors, pathogenesis, complications, and treatment of medication bezoars. DATA SOURCES AND STUDY SELECTION: A MEDLINE search (January 1966–December 1997) of the English-language literature pertaining to bezoars was performed. These articles were scanned, and literature specifically discussing medication bezoars was selected. Additionally, the reference sections of pertinent review and case reports were scanned for additional relevant literature. DATA SYNTHESIS: Bezoars are concretions of foreign material within the body. In the case of medication bezoars, these concretions occur within the digestive tract and are composed of medications and/or medication vehicles. Rarely, however, is bezoar formation solely due to a medication. In nearly all reported cases the patient had one or more significant risk factors that contributed to bezoar formation. The exact method by which medication bezoars form is dependent on the particular type or combination of medications involved. Bezoar formation may be associated with significant complications for the patient due to the presence of the bezoar and because of the effects of the medication within the bezoar. Treatment of medication bezoars depends largely on the location and the cause of the bezoar. CONCLUSIONS: Medication bezoars are a rare but potentially serious complication of medication use in certain patients. These patients often present with signs and symptoms consistent with an obstruction of the gastrointestinal tract and represent an even greater diagnostic challenge due to the rarity of this complication. These patients also face significant complications from both the bezoar and the medication within the bezoar. To date, treatment of medication bezoars involves mainly physical manipulation of the bezoar through lavage, endoscopic removal, or, in most cases, surgical removal.

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic, debilitating inflammatory skin disease. Case reports of individuals with hidradenitis suppurativa presenting exclusively on the face, as well as reports of individuals with HIV and hidradenitis suppurativa, are rare. Here, we present the case of an HIV-positive man who presented with hidradenitis suppurativa localized only on his face. We also review facial hidradenitis suppurativa and hidradenitis suppurativa in HIV patients.

Objective: Optimal treatment of fetal intrapericardial teratoma is controversial, especially in regard to fetal intervention. Given the rarity of the disease case reports can assist in decision making. Case Report: We report on a neonate with a giant intrapericardial teratoma detected in utero, almost filling the entire thorax. Delivery was planned per cesarean section with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) stand-by. As a surprise the child adopted very well after birth, requiring only continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). The tumor was resected on the next day without injuring cardiac structures. The child was and discharged on day 10 post-surgery. Conclusion: Our case supports the assumption that even in very large tumors the postnatal course can be benign, if there is no fetal hydrops.

AbstractWarts are caused by human papilloma viruses (HPV) that can affect any part of the body including hands and feet. Verruca palmaris (VP) is a common manifestation due to HPV infection in keratinocytes of the palms. In the conventional system of medicine, VP is commonly managed through cauterisation, cryosurgery, surgical removal or topical ointments, which have many limitations. Scientific documentation for the treatment of VP by homoeopathic medicines is very scanty. In this context, the present case report is of a 40-year-old male patient, who had multiple warts on his right palm for more than 2 years. The patient was treated previously with allopathic medications and external applications, without any significant improvement. Homoeopathic remedy (i.e. Natrum mur) was initially administered in 30C potency for 30 days, but no improvement was observed in the patient. Interestingly, when the potency was increased to 200C, a speedy recovery was observed and the patient was fully cured within 3 months. Therefore, it can be concluded from the case study that VP, when treated on the basis of the totality of symptoms, with an accurately selected remedy in suitable potency results in cure. In this particular case, Natrum mur worked well for warts on the palm. Most importantly, it was observed in this case that the selection of right potency is very essential and it should match correctly with the susceptibility of the patient to result in rapid cure.

Control Instruction

Coronoid process hypertrophy (CPH) consists of an abnormal volumetric increment of the mandibular coronoid process; as this process grows gradually, the infratemporal space needed for the rotation and translation of the mandible is reduced, which results in a reduction of the range of mouth opening and lateral excursion, limiting mouth opening. The purpose of this case report was to describe a rare case of hypertrophy of coronoid processes with associated temporomandibular ankylosis, monitored for over 20 years. The patient was first visited when he had a facial trauma at the age of 4. Then he was followed through clinical, functional, instrumental, bi-dimensional and three-dimensional radiological evaluations up to the age of 24. Physical therapy was initiated at the age of 10 to improve the condition of the masticatory muscles, while at the age of 14, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulations were performed to reduce muscle tension and, a bite plane was delivered to control the parafunctional activity of the jaw in the night and self-control instruction was provided for daytime habits. The adult patient has not accepted surgical intervention; thus, the future objective is to continue monitoring over the years to avoid a detrimental progression of the medical condition through physical and functional therapies while waiting for patient consent to surgery if needed.
