… Zygomatic fractures are the most common facial fractures or second in frequencyafter the nasal fractures. The high incidence of zygomatic fractures probably relates to itsprominent position in the facial skeleton hence it is frequently exposed to fractures. This casereport presents an isolated bilateral zygomatic arch fracture that was been reduced by Gille’stemporal approach and stabilized using foley’s balloon catheter. This study highlights theimportance of early diagnosis and timely treatment to reduce the morbities

Isolated zygomatic arch fractures represent about 10% of facial fractures. Most are easily reduced, but about 7% require fixation. Stabilization with plates, transcutaneous wiring, and various packing materials may involve additional morbidity and other drawbacks. A double balloon epistaxis catheter may be inserted beneath the arch fracture site and inflated for 5 to 7 days as a relatively simple, reliable alternative that involves minimal morbidity.

Inferior Limb

A patient was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis (UC) in 2010. In March 2015, she had abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloody stool, and UC has relapsed. In June 2015, pain and sensory disturbance of both lower limbs appeared. Blood flow at the distal femoral artery was not confirmed with magnetic resonance angiography, and it was diagnosed as bilateral acute inferior limb ischemia. Arterial thrombolectomy with Fogarty’s balloon catheter was performed and blood flow was improved. The severity of UC was moderate with Mayo score 8. Thrombosis is considered to be a complication with a high incidence in inflammatory bowel disease. Reports of arterial thrombosis are very rare. It is important to evaluate the risk of bleeding and thrombosis in active or severe cases in UC and need to do thrombotic prophylactic treatment simultaneously with UC treatment.

AbstractObjectives:A primary otological presentation of granulomatosis with polyangiitis is rare. We present four cases of granulomatosis with polyangiitis with different otological manifestations.Case report:A literature review of granulomatosis with polyangiitis cases presenting to otolaryngologists was undertaken. A case series review of four patients presenting within a 12-month period was also performed. One patient had serous otitis media which worsened after myringotomy. Two patients presented with acute ear infection and facial palsy and one with acute mastoiditis. All were positive for antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody, and three had positive findings upon histological analysis.Conclusion:When acute supposed ear infections fail to respond to treatment (antibiotics or surgery), rarer causes of the symptoms should be considered. By reporting this case series, we aim to improve the early diagnosis of granulomatosis with polyangiitis to enable timely treatment and prevent systemic involvement.

Nasal Fractures

Nasal bone fractures are the most common among facial fractures. Usually these are adequately treated with closed reduction and internal and/or external stabilization with splints. However, there are clinical situations where the nasal bones are severely displaced, the nasal septum fractured and displaced, or there are external drape lacerations which preclude the use of nasal splints. If the nasal bones are reducible but unstable we consider them “flail” and in this case transmucosal, endonasal Kirschner wires are used for dorsal support until sufficient healing occurs. The technique is simple, quick, and predictable and causes minimal discomfort to the patients.

The Relationship

Despite advances in radiology—including CT scanning—the three-dimensional (3D) nature of facial fractures must still be inferred by the spatial imagination of the physician. A computer system (Insight Phoenix Data Systems, Inc., Albany, N.Y.) uses CT studies as substrate for 3D reconstructions. We have used the insight computer for the evaluation and surgical planning of facial fractures of 16 patients with complex injuries. We present five illustrative cases, directly photographed from the computer monitor. Images can also be manipulated in real time by rotating or planar sectioning (functions best appreciated on video). The ability to cybernetically extract the facial skeleton from living subjects provides precise anatomic data previously unobtainable. The images are valuable for an accurate assessment of the relationship between the injured and uninjured sections of the face. We conclude that 3D reconstruction is an important advance in the treatment of facial fractures.

From 1973 to 1980, 727 patients with facial fractures received formal ophthalmologic consultation. The series included 174 mandible fractures, 29 nasal fractures, 436 midfacial fractures, and 88 frontal fractures. Of these, a total of 67% sustained some degree of ocular injuries. Seventy-nine percent of the eye injuries were categorized as temporary, 18% were serious, and 3% were blinding. Of the mandibular fractures, 29% had ocular injuries, 59% nasal fractures, 59% midfacial fractures, and 89% frontal fractures.

Objective. To evaluate the frequency, nature, and structure of therapy for uveitis associated with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) using the data from the Moscow city register of children with rheumatic diseases. Patients and methods. We analyzed the data of 117 patients with JIA and uveitis aged between 3 and 17 years residing in Moscow. Results. JIA-associated uveitis was diagnosed in 11% of children with JIA. It was more common in females than in males (13.1% vs 7.3% respectively). More than half of patients with uveitis (53.8%) had oligoarticular JIA, whereas 34.2% of patients had polyarticular RF-seronegative JIA. The majority of children (85.5%) received basic therapy, primarily with methotrexate (97% of them). Biologicals were administered to 64.1% of patients; of them, 68% received adalimumab. Sixty-one percent of children had bilateral eye lesions. In 41.5% of patients, the disease started with joint syndrome, while 46.3% of patients had both joint syndrome and eye lesions at onset and 12.2% of children initially had eye lesions. Remission of uveitis was registered in 75.6% of patients. Conclusion. Our results are consistent with both Russian and foreign data. Early diagnosis of uveitis and its timely treatment will decrease the incidence of complications in patients with JIA (including complete vision loss) and reduce the burden of disability for patients, their families, and the state. Key words: biological therapy, rheumatoid uveitis, rheumatic diseases in children, juvenile arthritis
