The ameloblastic fibroma (AF) is a rare benign mixed odontogenic tumor. It is composed of both epithelial and mesenchymal elements, but lacks of any calcified dental structures. Most of these tumors occur in the mandible and appears preferentially in the posterior portion of the dental arch with molar area predominates over premolar area. It is important to differentiate the lesion from ameloblastoma, since unlike the latter, it does not exhibit a locally invasive growth pattern. It is a well-circumscribed lesion and does not require the radical excision that may be necessary to effect cure with ameloblastoma. The present case report describes a 15-year-old patient with an ameloblastic fibroma in the symphysis of the mandible, a rare reported site. In the beginning of the article an extensive review of the previously published literature on ameloblastic fibroma has been made. In the later part, the diagnosis, differential diagnosis, histology and therapeutic procedures and postoperative follow up of the present case have been described.

The ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) is a mixed odontogenic tumor, with characteristics of ameloblastic fibroma, presenting enamel and dentin, which occurs more frequently in individuals aged 5 to 17 years. This paper reports na extensive case of ameloblastic fibro-odontoma in the mandible of a 3-year-old patient, discussed in comparison to cases selected from a brief literature review on the clinical characteristics, Evolution and therapeutic options for this lesion. In the last years, there was no consensus in the literature concerning its etiopathogenesis and classification, yet recently the AFO was classified as a developing odontoma. This case is in accordance with the 7 cases reported in the literature of AFO in the mandible of children aged 10 years or younger, especially concerning the lesion pattern and evolution and treatment adopted. The patient did not present relapse and exhibited local bone regeneration at the 3-year follow-up.

Carotid Cavernous Sinus Fistula

We report a case of a 90-year-old patient with intractable posterior epistaxis presenting as the only symptom of a nontraumatic low-flow carotid-cavernous sinus fistula. Purpose of this case report is to introduce low-flow carotid-cavernous sinus fistula in the differential diagnosis of intractable posterior epistaxis. We provide a literature review for the sequence of actions for the confrontation of posterior epistaxis. We also emphasize the significance of the radiological diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in the management of posterior epistaxis due to pathology of the cavernous sinus. The gold-standard diagnostic procedure of carotid-cavernous sinus fistula is digital subtraction angiography (DSA). DSA with coils is also the state-of-the-art therapy. By failure of DSA, neurosurgery or stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) may be used as alternatives. SRS may also be used as enhancement procedure of the DSA. Considering the prognosis of a successfully closed carotid-cavernous sinus fistula, recanalization occurs only in a minority of patients. Close follow-up is advised.

ABSTRACTAmeloblastic fibroma (AF) is a rare odontogenic tumour of the jaw which usually occurs in the first 2 decades of life. The common clinical manifestation is a slow-growing swelling. We report a case of a 16-year-old male patient presenting with extensive AF of the mandible. He underwent a conservative enucleation. The tumour recurred 2 years after the initial surgery, requiring the second enucleation.The patient has continued to be followed closely and has been disease-free for 4 years. Recent evidence suggests that the recurrent rate of AF is relatively high, and malignant transformation of AF may occur after recurrences or multiple surgeries. A conservative treatment approach with close surveillance is recommended. Anatomical limitations should be taken into account, especially when enucleation of AF in the posterior portion of the jaw is performed. Current surgical pathologic issues of the tumour are also discussed. (Eur J Dent 2009;3:224-228)

For patients who require removal of anterior teeth and their replacement various treatment modalities are available. With advancement in technology and availability of glass/polyethylene fibres, use of natural tooth as pontic with fibre reinforced composite restorations offers the promising results. The present case report describes management of periodontally compromised mandibular anterior tooth using natural tooth pontic with fibre reinforcement. A 1-year follow-up showed that the bridge was intact with good esthetics and no problem was reported.

Warts are the commonest benign, viral condition found in day to day practice and it is more common in young females. In Ayurveda warts may be compared with Charmakeel. As per Acharya Sushruta Agnikarma has been described as superior para-surgical procedures among all the measures used in Ayurveda, as the disease treated by it usually did not relapse. In present case report 33 years old female patient visited in Outpatient department (OPD) of Shalya Tantra having complaints of numerous growths in perineal and peri-anal region with itching and occasional pain since 6 months. The swelling was gradually increasing in size with local itching and discomfort. So the case was diagnosed as external genital warts and Chedana (excision) of the warts with cautery was planned. Orally two tablets (500mg each) Triphala Guggulu thrice in a day with luke warm water was advised for one month. Daily cleaning with Panchavalakal Kwath and dressing with Thumari Taila was performed till complete healing of the post-operative wound. Within 3 weeks wound was healed completely. Follow-up was done up to 10 months and patient had no any complaints or recurrence of warts. This case demonstrates that warts can be managed through Ayurveda without any complications, no recurrence and cost-effectively.

Introduction Primitive bone tumours of the pelvis represent a considerable challenge for carcinologic surgeons. Resections made in the acetabular zone could disrupt the continuity of the pelvic ring. The morbidity that comes after such a procedure requires a reconstruction surgery in order to improve the functional outcome. In this aim, multiple techniques have been reported. Case report We report the case of a 23-year-old male with no medical history diagnosed with a right pelvic bone osteosarcoma located in Enneking zones I and II. He first underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by a large resection of the whole bone. A reconstruction was then made using a vascularized fibular autologous graft and stabilized by a long customized lombo-femoral plate. Recovery of walking was possible using crutches. No recurrence was note at one year follow-up. Conclusion Malignant primitive tumours of the pelvis threaten the vital and functional prognoses of patients. It is now possible to perform conservative resections in more than 80% of case without compromising the survival of patients or their functional outcome.

IntroductionPatients with conversive disorder could show atypical clinical presentations with neurological symptoms that are not frequently seen currently.Case ReportA 21-year-old female who was diagnosed of conversive disorder was admitted into a short-stay psychiatric unit for two weeks to introduce treatment and receiving a diagnosis. She presented few seconds long seizures in members without bitting her tongue and keeping control of sphincters, always surrounded by relatives. A neurological study was made with CT scan and electroencephalography and no evidences of neurological abnormalities were found. Various treatments were used but seizures went worse. Venlafaxine (150 mg/day) was prescribed after hipothymc reactive symptoms were observed, which together with pshycotherapy achieved clinical improvement in the two months follow-up.DiscussionPatients with conversive disorder don’t respond appropriately to pharmacologic treatment. In order for patients to understand the situation it is important to keep themupdated in an empathic manner. It is important to exclude other causes.ConclusionsA detailed psychopathological exploration should be made in all conversive patients, to explore symptoms and comorbidities that could reveal new therapeutic treatment.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
