Pulmonary Echinococcosis

Echinococcosis is a parasitic disease endemic in many parts of the world. Liver is the most common affected organ followed by lungs. Primary pulmonary involvement is very rare. In this case report, we are going to present a case of primary pulmonary echinococcosis in a middle age female. She was presented with cough and haemoptysis. She was initially labeled and treated as a case of consolidation with different antibiotics in appropriate dose and duration without clinical and radiological improvement. So she was evaluated further and diagnosed as a case of primary pulmonary echinococcosis on the basis of histopathology and positive serology for Echinococcal antigen. She was advised to take oral Albendazole 400mg 12 hourly for one year with regular follow-up.

Corneal Tomography

Purpose: Ocular features of Alport syndrome include anterior lenticonus, posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy, and fleck-and-dot retinopathy in most cases. Keratoconus in such patients has been rarely mentioned in previous studies. To our knowledge, this is the first report of corneal cross-linking for halting the progression of keratoconus in a patient with Alport syndrome. Case report: A 22-year-old male was referred for his initial corneal topography, after he was already prescribed with rigid gas-permeable contact lenses. Alport syndrome was diagnosed in his infancy and gene COL4A5 mutation was confirmed. Ophthalmological evaluation confirmed keratoconus. One-year follow-up showed a progression on his right eye and standard corneal cross-linking was performed. Stabilization of the disease marked by normalization in visual function and corneal tomography values was noticed 1 year after the procedure. Conclusions: When diagnosing ocular clinical findings of Alport syndrome, keratoconus should be considered. Standard corneal cross-linking protocol can halt its progression.

Introduction: The gingival melanin hyperpigmentation (GMH) is resulted from an abnormal deposition of melanin, but it is not a pathology. However, GMH is an esthetic problem for some people. Some alternatives of treatment for this situation exist. The epithelial abrasion has been an interesting alternative because it has a satisfactory esthetic outcome, is a fast procedure, of easy execution, and low cost. Recently, tips adapted in ultrasound (CVDentus) can bean alternative approach. Objective: To report a clinical case of GMH treated by the technique of the epithelial abrasion with association of instrument adapted in ultrasound. Case report: Patient aged 28 years, melanoderm, sought treatment due to esthetic dissatisfaction because of intense dark color in the maxillary gingiva. The GMH removal was proposed through the technique of the epithelialabrasion CVD bur. Conclusion: The technique of epithelial abrasion using CVD bur was effective in removing GMH at one-year follow-up showing to be easy and safe technique.

(1) Background: Oronasal communication is described in the scientific literature as a common complication that occurs after a cleft palate surgery. In some cases, it can also be a consequence of oral surgery procedures; the main problem of this type of rare accident is related to the correct healing process and treatment option. (2) Case report: A patient with oronasal communication caused by an unsuccessful attempt of a superior canine odontectomy presented at the Emergency Department of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Hospital, Timișoara. The case management is described from the first consult to one-year follow-up. We consider that this pathology was optimally treated surgically, and the results are more than satisfactory, taking into consideration the high rates of recurrence. (3) Conclusion: This case report can be a useful to a general dentist who is trying to decide whether to perform the canine odontectomy or refer to a specialist surgeon due to the accidents and complications of this procedure.

Alveolar Microlithiasis

An asymptomatic case of idiopathic pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis in a child is described, with an 8-year follow-up. A review of the world literature indicates that this is an uncommon, often familial, disease, occurring in males and females equally. It is characterized by extensive alveolar calculi and can easily be suspected from the appearance of a roentgenogram of the lungs. When the disease is discovered the symptoms are usually absent to minimal, in contrast to the apparently severe involvement of the lung. Probably the majority of the patients develop the disease during childhood. The usual course is slow progression, terminating in cardiopulmonary failure during middle age. The etiology remains obscure, and there is no known treatment.

Abstract Background: Dengue is a widespread disease affecting many countries and about two fifth of the world is at risk for this disease. In India, the dengue incidence has increased in recent past and emerged as an important health problem in many states including Odisha. Cases with dengue co-infection with other diseases usually have atypical clinical presentation.Methods: A facility based longitudinal study was carried out over a period of one year to determine the dengue co-infection and its outcome. The suspected cases were clinically assessed following a standard case report format and serological investigations including serotyping were carried out.Results: 33.6% samples were dengue positive of which 78.5% were positive for NS1 Ag, 26.6% positive for dengue IgM and 5.1% to both. Among the dengue positive cases, 60.9% were male and mean age was 31.52 (+/- 17.03) years. High occurrence of cases was during May to November with maximum in August. Among the 975 dengue positives, 57 (5.8%) were found to have co-infection. Chikungunya was the most common co-infection in 71.9%, followed by herpes simplex (HSV) (7%) and other diseases. Fever was the most common presenting symptom (98.2%), followed by myalgia (91.2%), pain abdomen (12.3%), Rash/lesion (8.8%), burning micturition (5.3%), Petechiae (1.7%) and Pruritus (1.7%) among the co-infected cases.While DEN-2 serotype was observed in majority (74.1%) more than two serotypes was found in 5.85% of dengue positives .Conclusions: All the four dengue serotypes were found to be circulating with DEN-2 as the most predominant one. About 5.8% of dengue cases have co-infection (mainly with chikungunya) and clinically present with atypical signs and symptoms.

Osteoma is a benign, slowly growing, asymptomatic, bone-forming tumor arising from cancellous or compact bone. Osteoma usually is a solitary lesion, but in patients with Gardner’s Syndrome it may be multiple. osteoma may rarely have a parosteal localization. Parosteal osteoma has peculiar radiographic, histologic and clinical features. We describe a case report of a 51- years old man with a bifocal parosteal osteoma of the femur in a non-syndromic patient. This is the first described patient with a bifocal lesion. In literature only 24 cases of paraosteal osteoma are found. Our patient underwent surgery and the lesions were fully excised. At one year follow-up there was no evidence of recurrence.

This case report describes delayed replantation of an avulsed maxillary central incisor in a 17-year-old male patient following an injury on fall one day earlier. Avulsed maxillary right permanent central incisor was replanted back into the socket after extra-oral root canal treatment. One year follow up showed validity of treatment, with no evidence of resorption in the replanted tooth.
