Osteomyelitis is a common complication of compound fracture of long bones which is difficult to treat. We present a similar case of chronic osteomyelitis on an old malunited compound fracture of distal third left femur in a nine years old child. Management of such cases requires surgery with immobilization, long term appropriate antibiotics and intensive follow up.

The Mean

The histories of 67 cats diagnosed with chondrosarcoma (CSA) from 1987 to 2005 were reviewed. The mean age was 9.6 years, and males were 1.9 times more likely to be affected than females. Chondrosarcomas were diagnosed in the following sites: appendicular and axial skeleton, nasal cavity, facial bones, and extraskeletal sites. Of the 46 (70%) CSA associated with bone, 63% arose in long bones and 37% arose in flat bones. The remaining (30%) CSA arose in the subcutis. In cases available for follow-up (n=24), no definitive evidence of metastases was found. Cats that underwent radical surgical therapies were more likely to achieve long-term control or cure.

Schizophrenia is a leading worldwide mental health problem. It is also one of the common and challenging problems in Nepal. Risperidone and olanzapine is one of the major antipsychotic drug used for schizophrenia patients, however their efficacy is not compared in Nepal.To assess the efficacy of risperidone and olanzapine in schizophrenia patients in Nepalese context. An open-label, randomized, comparative, prospective study was done for 6 weeks. Total of 63 patients attending Psychiatry OPD in Jan to July 2008 at TUTH who could be available for close follow up were enrolled with consent. Risperidone was given in dose of 3-6 mg and Olanzapine in the dose of 15-20 mg per day. Efficacy and tolerability was assessed using PANSS, CGI, and UKU side-effect checklist. Both groups showed improvement in the entire positive, negative and general psychopathology subscales without significant difference in the two groups. Regarding tolerability, olanzapine was found to have significant sedation, weight gain while with risperidone extrapyramidal side-effects, palpitations, sexual side-effects were significant. Risperidone and olanzapine both are efficacious in the treatment of schizophrenia. Both the drugs have their own side-effects. Long-term efficacy and tolerability needs to be studied. As it has been seen in the ongoing studies, long-term use and side-effect profile, drop-out rates and the increase in metabolic syndromes need more consideration.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jcmsn.v7i3.6706 Journal of College of Medical Sciences-Nepal, 2011, Vol-7, No-3, 29-35

Object Transnasal endoscopic (TNE) approaches have been proposed for the resection of anterior cranial base meningiomas. The purpose of this article was to evaluate the results of endoscopic resection of anterior cranial fossa meningiomas by reviewing available published data in addition to the authors' experience with 13 cases. Methods The literature was searched via OVID to identify all available disaggregate data pertaining to anterior fossa meningiomas treated primarily by TNE. In addition, the authors reviewed the records of a personal series of 13 patients who underwent TNE removal of parasellar meningiomas through a pure TNE approach. Results Meta-analysis from studies included a total of 69 patients with adequate disaggregated data to summarize. Mean age (± SD) at surgery was 53.3 ± 13.0 years (range 27–80 years); 78% of the patients were women. Tumor size was skewed toward smaller lesions, with a mean volume of 24.4 ± 2.9 cm3. Intraoperative impressions were of gross-total resection in 76% of cases. The most common complication reported was CSF leakage, occurring in 32% of the cases (22 of 69). The rate of CSF leakage was not affected by size (p = 0.52), location of tumor (p = 0.9), or age (p = 0.56). There was 1 death overall. The mean duration of follow-up was 21 ± 18 months. Conclusions Transnasal endoscopic resection of anterior cranial base meningiomas is feasible in selected cases. Reported resection rates are adequate, although the follow-up in the reported series is too short (mean 21 months) to make definitive conclusions regarding the long-term effectiveness. Cerebrospinal fluid leakage is a common complication, although it appears not to be associated with additional morbidity except for the need for reoperation. Long-term results are necessary before considering TNE resection as a valid alternative, in selected cases, to the more established transcranial techniques.

Adamantinoma is a rare, low-grade malignant tumor of the bone which grows slowly and typically occurs in the diaphysis of long bones, particularly in the tibia. Adamantinomas have the potential for local recurrence and may metastasize to the lungs, lymph nodes, or bone. We report a case of a 14-year-old female with a tibial adamantinoma who underwent wide resection with limb salvage and has subsequently been followed up for 18 years. The patient went on to have both a local soft tissue recurrence 5 years after the resection and metastases to both an inguinal lymph node and the right lower lobe of the lung 8 years after that recurrence, all of which have been treated successfully with marginal resections. Unique to this case, the patient was also incidentally found to have chromophobe-type renal cell carcinoma when undergoing a partial nephrectomy to resect a presumed metastasis of her adamantinoma. Genetic testing has not revealed any known genetic predisposition to cancer.
