Aplasia Cutis

Aplasia cutis congenita is an uncommon localized or widespread congenital skin condition characterized by the absence of the skin, and occasionally underlying tissues occurs in about one every 10.000 birth mostly in the scalp as single or more than one lesion and sometimes occurs in extremities and trunk with an uncertain cause and can be associated with numerous syndromes or can be sporadic which is diagnosed clinically and usually conservatively managed but sometimes surgical intervention needed. In this literature, we present nonsyndromic newborn Malay girl normally delivered with 35 weeks gestational age with triplet skin raw areas at the vertex of the scalp with well-demarcated defect round in shape measured about 0.5 in radius covered with a noninflammatory, necrotic patch. To our knowledge, many works of literatures presented Aplasia cutis congenita at the scalp with solitary single or occasionally more than one skin defect. In contrast, in our case, we present an infrequent rare case of triplet skin defect of aplasia cutis congenita for nonsyndromic newborns.

Rare Case Report

Chorea gravidarum is the term given to chorea occurring during pregnancy. Here, we report a case of 24 year old primigravida at gestational age 38 weeks 3days ,without any signicant past & family history who presented with chorea gravidarum for the rst time in third trimester. On detailed evaluation no etiology was identied. On follow up in postpartum period, her choreiform movements have reduced in intensity, but is still persisting pointing towards an idiopathic origin.

Spinal Mri

This is a rare case report of a 5-month-old child with a complex spinal dysraphic state, and an accessory limb (tripedus morphology), accessory genitalia, and anal dimple. The child was brought to the hospital with an accessory limb arising from the back. On clinical examination, an accessory limb arising from the lower back with a partially developed foot with the presence of toes and nails was noted. Spinal MRI was advised which revealed dysraphic features including spina bifida with the low lying and posteriorly tethered cord with diastematomyelia along with a supernumerary appendage attached to the vertebral column having rudimentary bones resembling those of extremities. The presence of an accessory limb with spinal dysraphism is quite a rare anomaly. The condition can be treated by surgical intervention and involves excision of the accessory limb with adequate dural and paraspinal muscle cover.

Aplasia Cutis

Aplasia cutis congenita type VI (Barts syndrome), is a rare genetic disorder characterized by congenital localized absence of skin, formation of blisters (epidermolysisbullosa), and nail abnormalities. In this report, we present a rare case of aplasia cutis congenita type VI (Barts syndrome) in a newborn malebaby with the absence of a skin layer over the anterior right leg, slightly below the patella (kneecap) and around the ankle joint.On the second day, the affected areas developed blisters characterizing epidermolysisbullosa.Laboratory investigationswere all normal. The patients wound was managed conservatively with dressing and topical antibiotic ointments.

Introduction Foreign body ingestion is an ENT emergency frequently encountered in both children and adults. Case Report A case of an open safety pin in the hypopharynx in a fifteen year old boy is reported, which remained impacted there for the past 15 days without any significant symptom or complication. CT scan, performed before surgical intervention, did not show any migration of this foreign body from its intraluminal site. This was removed by ‘Magill forceps technique’. Postoperative period was uneventful. Conclusion Pointed foreign body may present with negligible symptoms and that too may stay in the cricopharynx for long without migration. Magill forceps technique can be a good surgical option in such cases.

ABSTRACT Sialolithiasis is a pathological process that affects the major salivary glands. It consists of calcifications that obstruct the parenchyma of the gland and / or the lumen of the ducts. The 37 years old female patient, VBB, leucoderma, attended the stomatology service with a complaint of swelling in the floor of mouth, which she noticed 10 years ago. The clinical and radiographic exams indicated a diagnosis of multiple sialolithiasis in the left submandibular gland duct. Surgical intervention was indicated in this case. Amongst all sialolithiasis cases, 80% affect the submandibular glands. Of these, 70% are isolated sialoliths. Only 5% of cases present more than 3 calcifications. This study aims to report the diagnosis and treatment of a rare case of multiple sialoliths located in the duct of the submandibular gland, which were surgically removed via intraoral access.

Multiple epidermal cysts over the scrotum is a rare condition and requires surgical intervention if infected or cosmetically unacceptable.  Grossly enlarged cysts require complete excision, followed by scrotoplasty.  We are reporting a case of multiple epidermal cysts on the scrotum.  Complete excision of the cysts followed by scrotoplasty was done in this case.

Open Surgical Approach

Abstract Osteomas are benign tumours that involve paranasal sinuses more than other parts of body. Frontal sinus is most common while sphenoid is least one. They are usually asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally on imaging for other reasons. Giant variety of frontoethmoid osteoma is very rare and only few cases are described in literature. Orbital involvement in giant frontoethmoid osteoma is even rarer. Due to threat to vision, this variety is an indication for surgical intervention followed by reconstruction of defect. As these tumours are very large, endoscopic approaches are less indicated and there is no clear consensus which open surgical approach is better. We are reporting such a rare case of giant frontoethmoid osteoma causing proptosis and restriction of eye movement that was treated with open surgical approach.

Aplasia Cutis

Nonsyndromic aplasia cutis congenita is a condition in which babies are born with localized areas of missing skin. These areas resemble ulcers or open wounds, although they are sometimes already healed at birth. Lesions most commonly occur on the top of the head (skull vertex). In some cases, the bone and other tissues under the skin defect are also underdeveloped. If the baby is born by cesarean section, then the patient's attendants recognize the wound as an injury which might be performed by the surgeon at the time of cesarean section. We are reporting this type of a case whose father attempted to take legal procedure against the surgeon, but finally he understood that this was a congenital disease of his baby.Faridpur Med. Coll.

Aplasia Cutis

Aplasia cutis congenita is a very rare and heterogeneous disease. It is characterized by a localized or extensive skin defect, isolated or associated with damage to the underlying structures, including the bone. The diagnosis is based on the clinical examination. Other abnormalities of various etiologies and severities may be associated with this pathology. Adams-Oliver syndrome is a genetic polymalformative syndrome. The typical form is defined by the presence of Aplasia cutis congenita and limb anomalies. Managing Aplasia cutis congenita, especially in severe cases, is a real challenge. We report a case of a newborn, treated surgically, for extensive occipito-parietal Aplasia cutis congenita. The clinical presentation was suggestive of AdamsOliver syndrome. The evolution was favorable. Describing our experience of managing a case of Aplasia cutis congenita is interesting because: the proposed treatment is very controversial, the rarity and the high morbidity and mortality of Aplasia cutis congenita and Adams-Oliver syndrome. As well as clinical and genetic diversity.
