CASE REPORT This article describes a case report with a review of the symptomatology diagnosis, and treatment of thrombophlebitis in the superficial dorsal vein of the penis. Penile Mondor’s disease is a benign condition, and after appropriate therapy, near complete recovery takes place within three weeks. DISCUSSION Thrombophlebitis of the superficial dorsal vein of the penis (Penile Mondor’s disease) is a rare, but important clinical diagnosis that any physician, and in particular general practitioners, should be able to recognize. Indeed, correct diagnosis and consequent reassurance can help to control the anxiety typically experienced by patients suffering from the disease.

Abstract The authors report the successful conservative treatment of a tuboovarian abscess in a 25-year old woman who presented with low grade fever and severe right sciatic pain. Computed tomography and ultrasonography corroborated a clinical diagnosis of tuboovarian abscess after an initial diagnosis of epidural abscess had been made. This is the first report of a tuboovarian abscess presenting principally as sciatic pain. The diagnosis and treatment of this lesion are discussed. (Neurosurgery 21: 100-103, 1987)

No pediatrician with responsibility for the care of newborn infants, premature or full term, can fail to be interested in the syndrome of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis. The recent outpouring of reports concerning the disease attests not only to the growing recognition of the problem but also the immediacy of the challenge which it presents. The challenge is twofold, demanding clinical diagnosis of the disease at an early stage as well as study directed toward the elucidation of its etiology and pathogenesis. The most quoted articles from the European literature are Genersich's1 original case report in 1891, the series of 62 cases described by Willi2 in 1944, and the series reported by Rossier, et al.3 in 1959.

Abstract Unilateral laterothoracic exanthem (ULE), or asymmetric periflexural exanthem of childhood (APEC), is an uncommon skin eruption that usually occurs in childhood, with unilateral distribution and self limiting course. The etiology of ULE is unknown, but viral cause is suspected. We report a case of ULE in a 4-year-old girl, that was associated with parvo virus B19 infection, and a brief selected literature review. The patient presented with unilateral maculopapular rash on the left side of the body which was asymptomatic and resolved spontaneously within 5 weeks. The clinical diagnosis of ULE may be precise, ruling out a broad spectrum of differential diagnosis, and prevent unnecessary examinations, whereas the patient is informed about the benign self-limiting nature of ULE.

Tetralogy of Fallot was diagnosed in a 30 month-old Cocker Spaniel female, through physical, radiographic, electrocardiographic, and echocardiographic exams. The animal was submitted to a palliative surgical correction, the Blalock-Taussig technique, and 46 months after the surgery, no signs of cardiopulmonary decompensation were observed.

Pendahuluan: Salah satu terapi pada penanganan osteomielitis adalah sequestrectomy. Sequestrectomy merupakan suatu usaha penghilangan sekuester yang telah terbentuk melalui pembedahan dengan trauma minimal. Evaluasi pasca sequestrectomy dapat dilakukan menggunakan pemeriksaan radiografi panoramik. Radiograf panoramik dapat memperlihatkan gambaran tulang alveolar pasca sequestrectomy pada kasus osteomielitis, serta dapat menemukan kelainan lain yang bersifat asimtomatik seperti florid osseous dysplasia (FOD). Tujuan dari laporan kasus ini adalah untuk menjelaskan lebih lanjut mengenai gambaran radiografis panoramik pasca sequestrectomy kasus osteomielitis yang disertai temuan kelainan lain yang bersifat asimtomatik seperti FOD. Laporan kasus: Pasien datang dengan rujukan radiografi panoramik untuk evaluasi pasca sequestrectomy dengan diagnosis klinis osteomielitis supuratif kronis. Dari hasil foto panoramik didapatkan bahwa masih terdapat gambaran radiolusen dan gambaran radioopak sisa serpihan tulang  (sekuester) dan gambaran FOD pada region lain. Gambaran radiografis panoramik pada kasus ostemielitis pasca sequestrectomy masih menunjukkan gambaran moth-eaten, masih ada sekuester, sisa serpihan tulang, terlihat gambaran radioopak di tengah dan di sekitar pulau radiolusen. Hal ini menandakan bahwa osteomielitis belum sembuh meski telah dilakukan sequestrectomy. Ditemukan pula gambaran lesi radioopak lainnya, yaitu suspek FOD pada region lain. FOD rentan infeksi sehingga memungkinkan terjadinya osteomielitis. Simpulan: Gambaran radiograf panoramik dapat digunakan sebagai metode evaluasi penunjang pasca sequestrectomy pada kasus osteomielitis dan juga dapat digunakan sebagai metode untuk menemukan kelainan yang bersifat asimtomatik seperti FOD.Kata kunci: Osteomielitis, sequestrectomy, florid osseous dysplasia, radiograf panoramik. ABSTRACTIntroduction: One of the osteomyelitis treatments is sequestrectomy, which attempts to remove sequesters formed surgically with minimum trauma. Post-sequestrectomy evaluation can be performed using panoramic radiographs. Panoramic radiographs can show alveolar bone images after sequestrectomy in osteomyelitis cases and can find other asymptomatic disorders such as florid osseous dysplasia (FOD). This case report was aimed to explain the panoramic radiographs after sequestrectomy of osteomyelitis cases accompanied by findings of other asymptomatic abnormalities such as FOD. Case report: A patient was presented with a panoramic radiograph referral for post-sequestrectomy evaluation with a clinical diagnosis of chronic suppurative osteomyelitis. The panoramic photo results found that there were still radiolucent images and radioopaque images of bone debris (sequester) and FOD images in other regions. In the post-sequestrectomy osteomyelitis case, panoramic radiographs still showed moth-eaten, sequesters, remaining bone fragments, radioopaque images in the middle and around the radiolucent islets. This result indicated that osteomyelitis has not healed despite sequestrectomy. There were also features of other radioopaque lesions, namely suspected FOD in other regions. FOD is susceptible to infection, thus allowing osteomyelitis. Conclusion: Panoramic radiographs can be used as a supporting evaluation method after sequestrectomy in osteomyelitis cases and can also find asymptomatic abnormalities such as FOD.Keywords: Osteomyelitis, sequestrectomy, florid osseous dysplasia, radiograph panoramic.
