The interrelationship between pulpal and periodontal disease primarily occurs through the intimate anatomic and vascular connections between the pulp and the periodontium. The purpose of this case report is to present the treatment of two cases of mandibular first molars displaying endodontic-periodontal lesions with and without the use of regenerative bone techniques. The endodontic treatments were performed under an operating microscope in two appointments. Later, periodontal therapy was performed with a non-surgical approach in one case and with guided bone regeneration in the other. A 12-month radiographic and clinical follow-up showed periapical and periodontal healing in both cases. The present case report demonstrates that an interdisciplinary approach can help improve the prognosis and maintain natural dentition. Moreover, periodontal regenerative therapy can be performed to guide the wound healing towards the regeneration of lost periodontal structures.

Perforation is a procedural accident that occurs during root canal treatment, creating an artificial communication between the root canal and the supporting periodontal apparatus. Iatrogenic root perforation is a major complication of endodontic and restorative treatments, leading to impairment of tooth prognosis. Successful management of root perforations is dependent on early diagnosis of the defect, location of the perforation, choice of treatment, materials used, host response, and the experience of the practitioner. This case report presents the successful management of an iatrogenic lateral root perforation in a tooth with radiographic evidence of periodontal healing over one year follow-up.

AbstractCardiac osteosarcoma metastasis is extremely rare and is documented in several case reports in the literature. The behaviour of osteosarcoma metastases is similar to the primary tumour. Thoracic non-enhanced computed tomography (CT) examination is beneficial in the detection of calcific cardiac metastases. In this case report, we describe a 29-year-old woman with cardiac osteosarcoma metastasis after 7 years of follow-up, compare the demographic features with previous cases and discuss the imaging findings.

Background. Chilaiditi syndrome is a phenomenon where there is an interposition of the colon between the liver and the abdominal wall leading to clinical symptoms. This is distinct from Chilaiditi sign for which there is radiographic evidence of the interposition, but is asymptomatic. Case Presentation. Here, we present the case of a patient who, despite having clinical symptoms for a decade, had a delayed diagnosis presumably due to the interposition being intermittent and episodic. Conclusions. This case highlights the fact that Chilaiditi syndrome may be intermittent and episodic in nature. This raises an interesting question of whether previous case reports, which describe complete resolution of the syndrome after nonsurgical intervention, are perhaps just capturing periods of resolution that may have occurred spontaneously. Because the syndrome may be intermittent with spontaneous resolution and then recurrence, patients should have episodic follow-up after nonsurgical intervention.

Latar belakang: Schwannoma merupakan tumor jinak yang berasal dari sel Schwann. InsidenSchwannoma aurikula sangat jarang. Sebagian besar yang terjadi adalah Schwannoma vestibular.Penatalaksanaaan dengan ekstirpasi secara in toto dapat mencegah kekambuhan.Tujuan: Melaporkansatu kasus jarang, yaitu Schwannoma aurikula yang meluas ke kanalis auditorius eksternus (KAE).Kasus: Anak laki-laki usia 3 tahun datang dengan keluhan muncul benjolan pada daun telinga kiri sejak 6bulan terakhir, yang membesar perlahan hingga menutupi liang telinga. Dilakukan ekstirpasi biopsi padamassa tumor, dengan pendekatan retroaurikula. Massa dapat dilepas secara in toto. Hasil histopatologikesan Schwannoma. Enam bulan pasca operasi tidak didapatkan kekambuhan.Metode: Penelusurankepustakaan didapatkan 5 jurnal laporan kasus yang relevan.Hasil: Dari 5 kasus, seluruhnya melakukanekstirpasi massa Schwannoma secara in toto. Terdapat 2 kasus mengunakan pendekatan transmeatal, 2kasus dengan pendekatan retroaurikula, dan 1 kasus ekstirpasi langsung pada aurikula.Kesimpulan:Schwannoma aurikula merupakan kasus yang sangat jarang. Tidak ada kecenderungan usia maupun jeniskelamin tertentu. Penanganan dengan ekstirpasi yang komplit dapat mencegah kekambuhan.Kata kunci: Schwannoma aurikula, ekstirpasi, insisi retroaurikula ABSTRACTBackground: Schwannoma is a Schwann cells benign tumors. The incidence of auricularSchwannoma is rare. The most common is vestibular Schwannoma. Treatment of choice is completesurgical excision, and recurrence is rare. Purpose: Reporting a rase case of an auricular Schwannomathat spread to external auditory canals. Case: A three years old boy presented with a swelling in the leftauricular for 6 months, which was progressively increasing and spread into external auditory canals.An excisional biopsy via postauricular was performed under general anesthesia. The mass was totallyremoved. Diagnosis was reported to be Schwannoma by histopathologic examination. There was no signsof local recurrence during a 6 months of follow-up period. Method: Search literatures for evidence found5 case report journals were relevant to our clinical question. Result: From the 5 journals, all of themopted to do total excisional removal, 2 cases by transmeatal incision, 2 cases by postauricular incision,and 1 case by direct incision of the auricular mass. Conclusion: Auricular schwannoma is a rare case.Previous case reports showed no sufficient relevance on the age and sex tendency to the occurence ofauricular Schwannoma. A complete extirpation can prevent recurrence.Key words: Auricular schwannoma, extirpation, postroauricular incision

Abstract A report of true aneurysms is extremely rare. There are only five previous case reports of true aneurysm of the facial artery. In the previously reported cases, there was no case that underwent trapping and surgical excision. In this case report, we describe the procedure of internal trapping before the surgical excision of a huge true aneurysm of the right facial artery for a 79-year-old woman. There was no recurrence of the aneurysm during a 6-month follow-up period.

CONTEXT: Posterior urethral valve (PUV) is a widely known condition affecting males that generally presents prenatally or at birth. PUVs have also been occasionally described in literature in cases diagnosed during adolescence or adulthood. CASE REPORT: This report presents two late PUV cases, one in a teenager and the other in an adult. Both cases had had clinical signs of urinary tract infection and obstructive urinary symptoms. The diagnoses were made by means of voiding cystourethrography and urethrocystoscopy. Endoscopic valve fulguration was the treatment chosen for both. Their follow-up was uneventful.
