Abstract Congenital anosmia, isolated or as a symptom of Kallmann or Klinefelter syndrome, is a rare condition found in young patients and children. Anosmia is detected during childhood, being reported by the patient or by his/her family. Besides the clinical examination and olfactometric evaluation, imaging is mandatory for the olfactory pathways investigation. Multidisciplinary approach is needed for these patients in order to determine the etiology of the smell loss. In the current paper, we are presenting the case of an 11-year-old child diagnosed in our ENT Department with congenital anosmia.

Dismal Prognosis

Background: Joubert syndrome is a very rare condition with dismal prognosis. It is characterized by several abnormalities including molar tooth sign on MRI. When coupled with mega cisterna magna- a feature of the Dandy Walker syndrome- it is categorized as Joubert plus syndrome. Case report: A 16 month old male child with Joubert syndrome was referred to the Pediatric Dentistry Department Clinic, Faculty of Dentistry Alexandria University, complaining of severe tongue and lower lip injury due to self-mutilation. He required multiple teeth extractions under general anesthesia to prevent further tongue and lip mutilation. Conclusion: Joubert plus syndrome is a very rare occurring condition. Because self-mutilation is sometimes fatal, a treatment plan tailored to each patient's need is mandatory. A multidisciplinary approach is recommended.

Neonatal fungal endocarditis (FE) remains a rare condition associated with prematurity. It often puts us in diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma as there are no specific guidelines. We described our successful journey with a 26 days old neonate with aspergillus endocarditis responding to multidisciplinary approach with surgical resection and intravenous antifungals.

Floor Of The Mouth

Introduction: Aglossia is a rare condition of failure of development of the lateral lingual swellings during embryogenesis and is usually associated with other deformities especially the fingers and limbs. Isolated aglossia is extremely rare. Observation: This is a case report of a 21-year-old patient with isolated aglossia whose floor of the mouth compensated for the tongue's absence in speech, eating and swallowing. Thus the patient did not express any disability and refused reconstructive treatment. Commentaries: Aglossia may be accompanied by many deformities or as part of a syndrome, so other symptoms must be excluded. The floor of the mouth usually adapts to the role of the tongue leading to fulfillment of most of the functions of the tongue. Conclusion: Aglossia is a rare condition, however the adaptation of the surrounding tissues compensated for the absence of the tongue makes the condition tolerable to the patient, this however does not undermine the fact that a multidisciplinary approach is key in managing such a condition.

Review Of The Literature

Pyomyositis is a relatively rare condition and often requires a low index of suspicion. We present a case of an otherwise fit and well woman who had pyomyositis of the pectoralis major muscle and presented as an acute septic arthritis of the shoulder. We present the conundrums that arose in arriving at this diagnosis, and how we successfully managed this condition through our multidisciplinary approach. We urge all clinicians to bear in mind this potential diagnosis, even in those patients not deemed to be immunocompromised.

The presence of a rhinolith is a rare condition, which can cause long-standing symptoms, such as rhinorrhea, foul-smelling discharge, nasal obstruction, and headache. A rhinolith is usually easily diagnosed by a clinical examination and a paranasal computed tomographic scan. Rhinoliths are usually found in nasal cavities, but rare locations are also possible. We report a patient who was evaluated in our clinic for nasal obstruction, headache, and snoring symptoms. A clinical examination showed no major findings, but a paranasal computed tomographic scan of coronal sections showed a hyperdense mass within the right concha bullosa. A rhinolith in the concha bullosa is a rare condition. Our case is the third case of a rhinolith in the concha bullosa to be reported in the literature.

Muscular Torticollis

AbstractCongenital Muscular Torticollis (CMT) is a rare condition which is seen in childhood where there is difficulty in rotating the neck and the head is tilted to one side following the stiffness of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. When the patient reports for treatment during adulthood, a multidisciplinary approach involving surgical, prosthodontic and physiotherapy procedures are required. In this case report, the authors are describing successful management of an adult patient affected with CMT.

Histological Characteristics

Introduction: Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is a rare malignant tumor that develops from the salivary glands. Its treatment includes surgery associated or not with radiotherapy depending on the histological grade. We report the case of a 38-year-old patient. Methods: We report a case of a mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the palate, and we specify the clinical, therapeutic and progressive characteristics of this attack. Case Report: She is a 38-year-old woman with no significant medical history. The clinical examination revealed a localized mass at the level of the hard palate, with a smooth normal-looking mucosa measuring 4 cm in long axis, the rest of the clinical examination was normal. Pathology examination confirmed the diagnosis of low-grade CME. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed objectifying a lesion localized at the level of the submucosa of the palate without bone extension either to the tongue or to the nasal cavity. The treatment consisted in excision of the lesion with margin, with monthly monitoring for 6 months with good progress. Conclusion: The discovery of a CME in young patients is rare. This observation makes it possible to take stock of the management of this type of cancer according to histological characteristics.

ABSTRACT Pheochromocytoma is a tumor arising from the adrenal medulla, most frequent benign and, due to the excretion of catecholamines, a rare cause of hypertension. The diagnosis of pheochromocytoma can be challenging because of its episodic nature, unspecific symptoms and rarity. Consequently, treatment can be delayed with serious consequences for the patient. We present a case report regarding a young man with episodes of severe hypertension over a period of at least 9 years. Ultimately, with a possible trigger effect from the intake of multiple energy drinks, the patient presented with severe hypertension, symptoms mimicking acute coronary syndrome, abnormal laboratory parameters and echocardiography suggestive of severe cardiomyopathy. The patient’s pheochromocytoma was incidentally identified in a computed tomography scan during the initial workup. Although a rare condition, pheochromocytoma should be considered as a differential diagnosis, especially in young patients presenting with unexplained hypertension, chest pain and cardiac dysfunction.

Complex odontoma, associated with an impacted tooth and a dentigerous cyst is a rare condition, especially in children. The management of such young patients could be difficult, and many aspects must be taken into consideration, like the patient’s collaboration during the procedures and the possibility of nerve damage. In this case report, we describe how to manage these kinds of patients, in order to reduce the risks and improve cooperation, taking advantage of the great benefits of conscious sedation.
