A three year old female adult albino Python bivittatus weighing 12 kilograms was presented with a chief complaint of right spectacle growth and whitening. The snake also had a respiratory infection which started about 2 weeks prior to being presented. Physical examination showed bubbly nostrils, inflammation on the right eye, inflammation on the right palatum of the oral cavity, and crackling sound during auscultation when exhaling and hissing. The snake was diagnosed with subspectacular abscess and respiratory infection. Spectaculotomy was performed under general and local anesthesia. All abscesses were removed using a sterile sexing probe while continuously flushing the eye. Topical antiseptic was diluted and flushed into the eye before topical antibiotic eye ointment was applied. Post-operative treatment included daily flushing using an intravenous catheter, eye ointment application, and administration of systemic antibiotic and NSAID to treat the co-related respiratory infection. Three weeks after the surgery the snake went through ecdysis, after which the snake regained its appetite and recovery was thereafter significantly improved.

Plasma Cell Granuloma

Introduction: 3 Plasma cell granuloma mainly occurs in lungs but can occur in any other organ or soft tissue . It occurs very rarely in oral cavity. We have also reviewed different articles describing plasma cell granuloma in oral cavity. We search the articles in google scholar and pubmed with keywords plasma cell granuloma in oral cavity, buccal mucosa, gingiva, tongue. A Case report: 39 year old male came with a chief complaint of growth on left buccal mucosa. HPE discovered parakeratinized stratied squamous epithelium, showing focal ulceration and underlying dense connective tissue stroma. On the basis of clinicopathological ndings the diagnosis of plasma cell granuloma was made. Discussion: Plasma cell granuloma is a benign lesion but its exact aetiology, behaviour and prognosis is not completely known. We can give emphasis on frozen histopathology intraoperatively to avoid unnecessarily extensive and potentially destructive surgery as the treatment plan.

Pisa syndrome is known to be a condition in which there is sustained involuntary flexion of the body and head to one side and slight rotation of the trunk so the person appears to lean like the Leaning Tower of Pisa.The development of Pisa syndrome is most commonly associated with prolonged treatment with antipsychotics. Although less frequently, Pisa syndrome has been reported, in patients who are receiving other medications (such as cholinesterase inhibitors and antiemetics), in those not receiving medication (idiopathic Pisa syndrome) and also patients with neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease and multiple system atrophy.We report a case of a 67 year- old male diagnosed with Schizophrenia for 20 years. He has been following a treatment with Clozapine 400 mg/day for 4 years. Amisulpiride was added to the established regimen of antipsychotic and increased during the last month reaching the doses of 600 mg/day. Three weeks later he was observed walking with a tilt toward the right. A first physical examination revealed sustained tonic flexion of the trunk to the right side. No deficits or mental status changes during neurological exploration were shown. We prescribed biperidene hydrochloride therapy. After 24 hour side effects disappeared.As far as we know, no many cases of amisulpride-induced Pisa syndrome in the literature have been reported. This abstract presents a case of amisulpride induced Pisa syndrome.

Tietze’s Syndrome: A Case Report Tietze syndrome (TS) is a rare inflammatory arthropathy characterized by tenderness, pain, and non-purulent swelling of the costosternal, costochondral and sternoclavicular joints. It often involves the costosternal joints and sternoclavicular jointinvolvement is rare. In this case report, we present a 72-year-old female patient suffering from pain and swelling in the right upper chest wall fo rabout 2 years. Physical examination revealed tenderness in the right sternoclavicular joint and an approximately 2x2 cm moderate swelling. Ultrasonic imaging of the swelling area revealed increased echogenicity and edema in the right sternoclavicular joint area. Laboratory findings were normal. The patient was diagnosed with TS and a local injection of a corticosteroid and local anesthetic mixture was administered. The patient’s complaints decreased significantly after the infiltration. In this case report, we present a TS case with sternoclavicular joint involvement that we treated with local injection. Keywords: Tietze’s syndrome, sternoclavicularjoint, costochondritis

Adrenal myelolipomas (AMLs) are rare benign adrenal tumours containing adipose and hematopoietic tissue as a result of reticuloendothelial cell metaplasia. In this case report, we describe the diagnostic evaluation and the operative management of a giant adrenal myelolipoma in a 14-year-old male who has sickle cell anaemia. He presented with a one-week history of bilateral leg swelling. A physical examination revealed a mass in the right lumbar region. Ultrasound of the abdomen revealed a well-defined rounded echo-complex encapsulated supra-renal mass impinging on the upper pole of the right kidney, displacing it downwards. There was also marked compression of the inferior vena cava. A computed tomography scan showed a large mass occupying the right adrenal gland. The patient had an exploratory laparotomy with excision of the right adrenal tumour. Histopathological (Immunohistochemistry) evaluation of the mass confirmed the diagnosis of adrenal myelolipoma. The diagnosis of an adrenal myelolipoma requires a good history, physical examination, a high index of suspicion, imaging techniques, and a thorough histopathological evaluation. Surgery is the main treatment modality and good post-operative management minimizes complications and guarantees rapid recovery.

Introduction. Deja vu (franc. Déjà vu) is a phenomenon experienced by two thirds of all people. However, this phenomenon can follow aura during the temporal lobe epilepsy. It is believed that it originates from hippocampus, which plays a major role in generating epileptic discharges. Some authors emphasize that in these patients déjà vu phenomenon is not an aura but rather it sometimes refers to the attack itself. Method. In this case report, an eightyear-old girl suffering from repeated crisis of consciousness is described. Case report. The aim of the study was to present the case of an eightyearold girl who underwent three crisis of consciousness, headache behind the forehead as well as the repeated déjà vu phenomenon. The girl was hospitalized, after which medical history was taken and physical examination, as well as other diagnostic tests, were performed. EEG recording revealed an increased electrocortical epileptic activity above the right frontotemporal region. An antiepileptic therapy (Karbapin) leading to attack control was introduced. Conclusion. It is necessary to give temporal lobe epilepsy in children with déjà vu phenomenon serious consideration.

The facial nerve divides within the parotid gland into upper temporozygomatic and lower cervicofacial branches. The two branches further subdivide and emerge from the parotid gland as five main branches. We observed a rare anomalous branching pattern of the facial nerve along with double parotid duct on the right side of a 50-year-old male cadaver. The two parotid ducts emerged at the level of the anterior border of parotid gland then united to form one single duct thereby opened into the oral cavity. The first duct (D1) emerged from the upper one third of the anterior border of the parotid gland and traversed horizontally for 9 mm to join the second duct. Knowledge of anomalous branching pattern of facial nerve and double parotid ducts may be beneficial for maxillofacial surgeons.
