<p>Mucoceles are cystic lesions of the paranasal sinuses that develop as a result of mucous secretion accumulation due to sinus ostium obstruction, Mucoceles are most common in the frontal and ethmoidal sinuses, and they affect both men and women equally in may become infected and spread to the orbital cavity, compressing the orbit by eroding the orbital cavity's bony walls. In surgical treatment, endoscopic approach we are used, we present a case of a complicated ethmoid mucocele that eroded the orbital wall and spread into the orbital cavity, and we discuss surgical treatment options in light of the existing literature.</p>

Umbilical Endometriosis

We report the case of a patient diagnosed with primary umbilical endometriosis intending to discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic management of this rare disease. A 45-year-old woman suffering from a painful swelling located in the umbilical region, with intact and normal cutaneous aspect, came to our attention. Ultrasonography of the umbilical region showed a nodule with a nonhomogeneous echotexture pattern. Partial omphalectomy was performed under local anesthesia in day care setting surgery. Histology confirmed the diagnosis of umbilical endometriosis. Pre- and postoperative clinical controls showed no evidence for other endometriosis localization. No medical treatment was administered. No signs of recurrence were observed after 5 years from surgery. A review of the literature of the last 10 years was generated based on MEDLINE research, selecting some specific keywords. Several lesions can occur in the umbilical region, and endometriosis has to be ruled out even in patients without any surgery in their medical history. Surgery is the gold standard treatment for this condition: partial and radical omphalectomy are the two treatment options. We believe that given the significant psychological and aesthetical value of the umbilicus, surgical treatment has to be tailored and in case of a small endometrial umbilical nodule, partial omphalectomy (local excision of the umbilical endometrial nodule) with a 3 mm free border, even without adjuvant hormonal treatment, could ensure adequate and effective treatment.

Background. The anatomical structure of the paranasal sinuses of a person predetermines the risk of development, diversity of presentation, possibility of complications and features of surgical treatment of rhinosinusitis. Objective: of our study was to determine the thickness and density of the walls of the maxillary and frontal sinuses, which are potentially dangerous in terms of the development of complications. Materials and methods: Our study involved 121 subjects without any ENT diseases, who underwent SCT examination due to the reasons that were not related to abnormalities of ENT organs. Thickness  and density in the region of the lower (orbital) wall and posterior (cerebral) wall of the frontal sinus were calculated. Results and Discussion: The  maximum density was characteristic of the lower wall of the frontal sinus under physiological conditions and appeared 107.96 ± 201.64 Hu, the minimum for the lower wall was -29.98 ± 208.54 Hu. The thickness of the bone tissue in the frontal sinus was 4.05 ± 2.04 mm. Conclusion: The minimum density and thickness of the lower and posterior walls of the frontal sinus and upper and lower walls of the maxillary sinus was established under physiological conditions. The density of the posterior wall was found to be 25.4% lower than the density of the lower wall, and the thickness 22.2% lower.

Paranasal Sinusitis

Phaeohyphomycosis of  paranasal sinuses is not very frequent. We here report a case of paranasal sinusitis caused by Fonsecaea pedrosoi in a 53 year old diabetic male, with deviated nasal septum. With surgical correction and antifungal treatment with itraconazole, the patient’s condition improved and he was discharged. Fonsecaea exists in the environment as a saprophyte and its infection is usually not lethal. However in immunocompromised individuals, when there is systemic invasion the mortality rate is high. With limited treatment options available for this fungus, early and prompt identification plays a major role not only in treatment, but also prevents further invasion.

Periapical Cyst

Introduction: Periapical cysts are the most frequent odontogenic cystic lesions, commonly asymptomatic and discovered in routine dental examinations. The treatment may vary according to the size of the cyst. Objective: The objective of this study is to report the diagnosis and treatment of a large periapical inflammatory cyst in the maxilla. Case report: Patient A.B., 38 years old, male with major complaint of pain in the left maxilla region, facial asymmetrywith increased volume in the zygomatic bone region. After the intrabuccal and radiographic examinations, a lesion with a dimension of approximately 6.5 cm was observed, extending throughout the of the upper left side, with well-defined extension. It was performed the extraction of the affected teeth, collection of the biological material for histopathological analysis and installation of a drain for decompression maintained in the buccal cavity for 6 months with periodic irrigations with saline solution. After regression of the lesion, enucleation and curettage were performed. After 36 months following-up it is possible to observe absence of signs and symptoms of lesion recurrence, with good healing and bone neoformation. Conclusion: Decompression followed by enucleation forthe treatment of periapical inflammatory cyst should be considered as a treatment option because it minimizes damage to adjacent anatomical structures.

Fibromatosis (desmoid, desmoid tumour) is a tumour belonging to the group of fibrous tissue proliferative diseases. Although the tumour cannot produce distant metastases, it shows local malignancy by invading adjacent tissues, as well as high recurrence rates after local resection. The incidence of fibromatosis is 2-4 cases per 1 million inhabitants per year. Three types of fibromatosis have been distinguished: extra-abdominal, abdominal wall and intra-abdominal type. Although the most common types are sporadic, coexistence with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), known as the Gardner’s syndrome, is observed. Available therapeutic options include surgical treatment, watchful waiting, hormone therapy, non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. This case report aims to draw attention to the difficulties in selecting an appropriate treatment option, limited surgical treatment, the psychological aspect of the disease, as well as the need to actively search for modern diagnostic and therapeutic solutions. We present a case of a 26-year-old patient who was ultimately diagnosed with a desmoid tumour invading the abdominal wall and internal abdominal organs. The patient presented to a county hospital due to suspected gastrointestinal obstruction. It was found from medical history that the patient had palpated a tumour of the abdominal wall 9 months before admission.

This case report describes the diagnosis, the treatment options available in the absence of dantrolene and outcome of anaesthesia-related hyperthermia seen for the first time in an Anatolian shepherd dog. The case consisted of a nine-month-old male Anatolian shepherd dog with bilateral antebrachium fractures. For surgical treatment, the patient was pre-medicated with xylazine; anaesthesia was induced using ketamine and maintained with isoflurane. Approximately 40 minutes after isoflurane administration, tachypnoea, tachycardia, increase in body temperature and rigidity in the forelegs and masseter muscles was noticed. Inhalation anaesthesia was discontinued and hyperventilation was performed with 100% O<sub>2</sub>. Due to its vasodilatory properties, diazepam was administered both to achieve muscle relaxation and to decrease body temperature. Alfentanil was used in an attempt to lower respiratory and heart rates. Intravenous administration of cold crystalloid solutions and external ice packs was used to lower body temperature. All these interventions kept the patient alive.

Solitary Bone Plasmacytoma

Surgically, solitary bone plasmacytoma (SBP) of the craniocervical junction (CCJ) is typically treated with cement augmentation and occipital-cervical stabilization (OCS). In the orthopedic spine literature, various surgical treatment options have been described for SBP, but only a few studies exist describing SBP of the CCJ with treatment involving cement augmentation alone. We report the case of an 83-year-old female found to have C2 SBP that was successfully treated with curettage and cement augmentation alone.
