Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious granulomatous disease caused by the air-borne bacillus Mycobacterium tuberculosis and less frequently by other bacteria in the M. tuberculosis complex (Mycobacterium Bovis and Mycobacterium africanum). Tuberculous osteomyelitis of the condyle may present atypical clinical findings akin to temporomandibular joint arthritis or middle ear infections. A detailed clinical and radiographic examination aided by a histopathological and a microbiological diagnostic workup is the key to timely detection and administration of appropriate therapeutic regimens. A high degree of clinical suspicion is thus advocated in patients with such atypical presentations. We, hereby, are presenting a rare case of tuberculous osteomyelitis in a 15-year-old female child.

A 14-month female child came with complain of cholera like watery loose stool 10-12 times and vomiting 6-7 times, 24 hrs before admission. She was in severe dehydration, hypotension, unconscious with no recorded fever during her stay in hospital and no history of contact with COVID-19. Patient was COVID-19 positive Dehydration and hypotension was corrected, metabolic acidosis continued and eventually patient succumb due to multiple organ failure. This case report should arouse us to suspect COVID infection in every acute Gastroenteritis child who may not have any common symptoms as seen in COVID patient, also who have no history of significant contact with COVID positive patient in family. Some people with COVID-19 develop gastrointestinal symptoms either alone or with respiratory symptoms. Recently, researchers at Stanford University found that a third of patients they studied with a mild case of COVID-19 had symptoms affecting the digestive system. Another recent study Trusted Source published by researchers in Beijing found that anywhere from 3 to 79 percent of people with COVID-19 develop gastrointestinal symptoms.

AbstractLiposarcoma in the inguinal region though rare are clinically significant lesions. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult since the clinical findings are very similar to that of inguinal hernia. We report a rare case of Liposarcoma of the spermatic cord in 85 year old male, clinically diagnosed as left sided indirect inguinal hernia. Surgical excision specimen showed multiple globular lipomatous masses which were yellowish and grey tan with areas of myxoid degeneration and necrosis seen. Microscopic examination showed adipocytes arranged in lobules with numerous blood vessels, lipoblasts and myxoid stroma confirming the diagnosis of myxoid liposarcoma. He is on regular follow up since two years without any recurrence or metastasis. Our case report highlights the importance of sampling and examination of fatty masses in the inguinal region to rule out the possibility of liposarcoma as they are mistaken for lipoma at surgery.

Mesiodens is a midline supernumerary tooth commonly seen in the maxillary arch and the talon cusp is a rare dental developmental anomaly seen on the lingual surface of anterior teeth. This paper presents a rare clinical case of development of talon cusp in a mesiodens with multiple lobes, which interfered with both occlusion and appearance of an 11-year-old patient. During clinical interview, the patient reported difficulty on mastication. Clinical and radiographic examination revealed that a supernumerary tooth with completely formed root was causing an occlusal interference. The supernumerary tooth was diagnosed as multi-lobed mesiodens associated with a palatal talon cusp. The treatment plan consisted in the extraction of the supernumerary tooth followed by orthodontic treatment for diastema closure and tooth alignment.

<p class="abstract">Blount’s disease is more common in Afro-Caribbean, obese, female child. Early walking have been associated with the disease process. Adult patients with Blount’s disease who received no treatment previously, are rarely reported across the other parts of the world and hence less discussed. The treatment of neglected cases of Blount’s disease often requires correction of varus deformity, internal tibial torsion and medial plateau depression. We are reporting one such patient seen at our hospital. A skeletally mature, obese (BMI 43.2), male patient with bilateral tibia vara was operated for hemi-plateau elevation combined with a valgus osteotomy. Fixation was achieved with plate and staples. Surgical correction of one such patient is technically demanding and more complicated. If left untreated , the main risk is premature osteoarthritis.</p>

Multiple impacted supernumerary teeth without any associated systemic conditions or syndromes are rare. The prevalence rate of supernumerary teeth in the permanent dentition is between 0.1– 6.9 % as compared to 0.3–0.6% in theprimary dentition. In this article, reporting a rare family history of non-syndromic multiple impacted supernumerary teeth,found incidentally during routine radiographic examination. Though the etiologic factor of multiple impacted supernumerary teeth are still not clearly known especially in cases without any syndrome. However, thorough evaluation is necessary toexclude associated systemic conditions.

Background: Hydatid cyst is a parasitic disease which can affect the central nervous system. Objective: The purpose of the study is to reveal the clinical findings and the effect of giant the intracranial hydatid cyst at frontoparietal region, which is a rare finding. Results: A patients with right frontoparietal hydatid cyst was admitted in our hospital with history of headache, seizure and left upper limb weakness. We operated the patient and postoperatively developed hydrocephalous and pseudocyst at the site of operation. Cystoperitoneal shunt was done. The patient was medically treated by albendazole. The patient cured postoperatively. Conclusion: Patients with intracranial hydatid cyst can be treated surgically and with albendazole. Bangladesh Journal of Neuroscience 2015; Vol. 31 (2): 116-120
