Introduction: Natal tooth and neonatal tooth is a rare occurrence but can have a significant impact on lactation. A 45-day-old baby girl was referred for problem with breastfeeding. Her mother complained of painful nipple during nursing for the past two weeks. Physical examination of the mother's breast and nipple revealed normal findings. Examination of the baby's oral cavity revealed a natal tooth over the mandibular anterior region, small in size, whitish opaque in colour and exhibiting grade 1mobility. There was a whitish ulcer over the ventral aspect of the tongue. A diagnosis of natal tooth in association with Riga Fede disease was made. The baby underwent tooth extraction under topical anesthesia. Subsequently, breastfeeding was able to be continued without any problem. Hence, extraction of natal tooth should be individualized and properly assessed.

A three year old female adult albino Python bivittatus weighing 12 kilograms was presented with a chief complaint of right spectacle growth and whitening. The snake also had a respiratory infection which started about 2 weeks prior to being presented. Physical examination showed bubbly nostrils, inflammation on the right eye, inflammation on the right palatum of the oral cavity, and crackling sound during auscultation when exhaling and hissing. The snake was diagnosed with subspectacular abscess and respiratory infection. Spectaculotomy was performed under general and local anesthesia. All abscesses were removed using a sterile sexing probe while continuously flushing the eye. Topical antiseptic was diluted and flushed into the eye before topical antibiotic eye ointment was applied. Post-operative treatment included daily flushing using an intravenous catheter, eye ointment application, and administration of systemic antibiotic and NSAID to treat the co-related respiratory infection. Three weeks after the surgery the snake went through ecdysis, after which the snake regained its appetite and recovery was thereafter significantly improved.

Abstract Background: Nummular Headache is a rare type of chronic primary headache wherein the pain is usually located in a well-circumscribed, round or elliptical shaped area of the scalp. Case Report: A 26-year-old female presented to the Center for TMD/ OFP with the chief complaint of chronic persistent left parietal headache, for more than 10 years, which has been worsening over the past few days with no specific identifiable trigger. The medical history is non- contributory. The primary diagnosis is Nummular Headache. Conclusion: A comprehensive history is the first step to achieve an accurate diagnosis. The diagnosis of Nummular Headache is challenging and confusing due to the rare occurrence. An examination must include imaging and is detrimental in eliminating other underlying pathologies. The diagnosis is made from distinct clinical features after exclusion of all other entities. Keywords: Nummular headache, Rare primary headaches, Coin-shaped headache, Chronic Primary headache, Epicranial headache.

A 22-year-old male varsity collegiate wrestler presented for general chiropractic care for an unrelated condition and noted right elbow pain that had progressively increased over the past few weeks. The athlete was diagnosed with a right brachialis strain and advised to follow up with his athletic trainer for co-management of his injury. The patient responded positively to prescribed treatments and rehabilitation to decrease pain and restore functionality (<14 days) while only missing one competitive match. The location of the brachialis muscle and scarcity of literature makes diagnosis and treatment complex. The physical examination and conservative treatment presented in this report demonstrate the need for comprehensive and exploratory examination and co-management of wrestling athletes with a brachialis strain.

Significant alteration in timing of tooth eruption with the first teeth being present at birth or erupting during the first month of life is a rare occurrence in humans. Timing of tooth eruption may be affected by hereditary, endocrine and environmental factors. The presence of natal teeth may lead to complications such as discomfort during suckling, laceration of the mother’s breasts, sublingual ulceration with resultant feed refusal, and aspiration of the teeth making tooth extraction a management option in affected infants. This is to report a rare finding of eight markedly enlarged natal teeth in a post term male. His mother ingested different kinds of herbal medications prior to conception and during pregnancy. The report is aimed at raising questions about the possibility of a causal relationship between antenatal ingestion of herbal medications and occurrence of natal teeth.

The patient underwent mass excisions without any complication, further pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of CA. Discussion: After operation and discharge there are no sign of recurrence after 6 months follow up. Conclusion: Despite the rare occurrence in periurethral region, clinicians should be aware of CA case in female and for our first case we used mass excision with satisfactory result.
