Objective The development of a perforation in a submucous cleft palate (SMCP) is a rare occurrence, with only a few cases reported in the literature. We describe and illustrate four cases of SMCPs with a perforation in the palate. Results and Conclusions Recognition of the symptoms and signs of an SMCP should enable early diagnosis and treatment of this condition in symptomatic patients. However, in patients in whom the diagnosis has been missed or in those who have been asymptomatic, the development of a perforation may be the presenting feature of an SMCP. A history of possible trauma to the palate was found in two cases. Relatively minor trauma may cause perforation of the thin translucent central mucosa in an SMCP. In neonates, perforations surrounded by very thin mucosa may increase in size. The perforation can be closed at the same time as the SMCP repair and does not significantly alter the surgical treatment of an SMCP.

A Prospective Study

Recently an increase in the incidence of mucormycosis is noticed in COVID-19 cases. The main aim of this study is to present our experience of rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis in COVID-19 patients and thereby aid its early diagnosis and treatment. This is a prospective study of 12 cases diagnosed as Rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis . Presentation of mucormycosis in COVID-19, their temporal association and outcome of treatment was studied. Pre-existing comorbidities were seen in 91.67% patients, Diabetes Mellitus (83.33%). Previous history of COVID-19 infection and treatment for the same in 41.67% cases, concomitant infection in 16.67% and asymptomatic undiagnosed covid (antibodies positive) was detected in 41.67%. All patients showed improvement in general and nasal condition (100%). Early diagnosis is must.

Background: Pink spots in teeth were first described by Mummery in 1920, and were related to resorption. Resorption is a pathologic process that often eludes the clinician with its varied etiologic factors and diverse clinical presentations. Resorption can be generally classified as internal and external resorption. Internal resorption has been described as a rare occurrence as compared to external resorption. Case report: This article describes a pink spot that was diagnosed as a progressing resorption process. Early diagnosis enabled a successful management of the lesion. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and treatment of an internal resorption, clinically seen as a pink spot, in a primary central incisor may prevent its fast progress and subsequent loss.

Background<br />Breast cancer is the leading cancer in women leading to over 400,000 deaths per year worldwide. It begins in the breast tissue and can metastasize to other organs if early diagnosis and treatment is not instituted. Women with sickle cell disease are usually spared from breast cancer and other solid tumours due to the tumoricidal effect of sickled erythrocytes. Breast cancers are rare among these group of patients. Despite its rare occurrence, this paper was to emphasize the need for breast cancer screening among female sickle cell disease patients who have positive family history of breast cancer.<br /><br />Case description<br />OO was a 30-year old woman with sickle cell disease who presented to the hospital one and half years ago with a seven months history of right breast swelling and pains. She had lost her mother to breast cancer about 15 years ago. Mammography and histology of breast biopsy confirmed diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma of the right breast. Financial constraint was a major challenge in managing this patient as she was unable to buy her chemotherapy. She developed features suggestive of metastasis such as seizures and hepatomegaly. She was stabilized and discharged home but we lost her to follow up. She died at home.<br /><br />Conclusion    <br />Breast cancer is rare among females with sickle cell disease; any of them with a family history should be routinely screened for early diagnosis and treatment.

In the present work, there is presented an experience of phased surgical treatment of the perforation of the gall bladder in children of different age groups. Early diagnosis and timely surgical intervention being crucial in this pathology, allow increase the survival rate of patients. The complexity of the primary diagnosis and the rare occurrence of this pathology in our opinion make this publication to be relevant.

This article presents the evolution in medical history which leads to the surgical treatment for ruptured discs. Only at the last century the precise diagnosis of a ruptured lumbar disc could be made after tremendous efforts of the many medical pioneers in the study of the spine. The experience gained with the lumbar spine was rapidly transferred to the cervical spine. We describe the evolution of the clinical and surgical aspects about ruptured discs in the lumbar and cervical spine. An illustrative timeline of the major events regarding the surgical treatment for ruptured disks is outlined in a straight forward manner. Our understandings of the relation between symptoms and signs and of that between anatomy and pathophysiology have led to more successful surgical treatment for this disease. Nowadays lumbar and cervical discectomies are the most frequent operations carried out by neurosurgeons. Our current care of patients with this kind of spinal disorders is based on the work of our ancient medical heroes.

Acquired small bowel non Meckel diverticular disease is a rare entity. Symptoms and signs of its complications are generally nonspecific, making early diagnosis difficult to achieve. This determines an increasing risk of morbidity. The management is usually medical, consisting of intestinal resting and intravenous antibiotics. Surgical treatment is preferred only in selected cases. The aim of this report is to show a series of cases diagnosed with diverticulitis of the small bowel in Clínica Alemana, Santiago, putting emphasis in imaging findings.
