Mucormycosis is an invasive, potentially lethal fulminant fungal infection that is caused by normallysaprophytic fungus belonging to the class zygomycetes. Mucormycosis is characterized by its unrelentingprogression towards vital organs with marked propensity towards arterial wall by direct extension producingvascular thrombosis leading to ischaemic necrosis. The maxilla rarely undergoes necrosis due to its richvascularity. The case report here was a case of mucormycosis with extensive necrosis of maxilla in a 48 yearold male patient with palatal perforation as the sole presentation of mucormycosis.Key words: Mucormycosis; palatal perforation; fungal infection.DOI: 10.3329/jafmc.v6i1.5989Journal of Armed Forces Medical College, Bangladesh Vol.6(1) 2010 p.29-31

Introduction: Tonsillectomy is the most commonly performed procedure and generally regarded as a safe surgery. Taste disturbance is a very rare complication after tonsillectomy, with very few reports in the literature. The most possible cause of this rare complication is direct or indirect damage to the glossopharyngeal nerve or its lingual branch (LBGN). Aim: To report a very rare complication of the most commonly performed procedure i.e. tonsillectomy. Case Report: The case is a 32 years old lady who complained of taste disturbance following tonsillectomy that was performed for chronic tonsillitis. As treatment patient was given Trifluoparazine Hydrochloride a Phenothiazine derivatives and Vit B6 + Vit B12. Patient recovered after 4 months postoperatively. Conclusion: Tonsillectomy should be performed with minimal trauma to the tonsillar bed to avoid injury to the Glossopharyngeal nerve or its lingual branch (LBGN) and all patients should be informed of the risk of post-operative taste disturbance after tonsillectomy.

Abstract Acne necrotica is a rare disease, characterized by repeated cropping of inflammatory papules and papulo-pustules, which rapidly necrotize and leave varying degrees of varioliform scars that may lead to cicatricial alopecia when terminal hair-bearing sites are involved. In early lesions, pathology shows necrotizing lymphocytic folliculitis. We report a 63-year-old male patient with chronic, relapsing, umbilicated and centrally necrotic erythematous papules and papulo-pustules involving the frontal hairline area, face, and neck. Histopathology showed epidermal spongiosis and lymphocytic exocytosis, extensive necrosis and destruction of the follicular epithelium, a dense diffuse lymphohistiocytic infiltrate and necrosis of the perifolicular dermis. The diagnosis of acne necrotica was made based on the correlation of clinical and histopathological findings. A complete clinical remission was achieved with topical erythromycin and benzoyl peroxide.

Introduction: Intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) is a rare but the most dangerous complication of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) which is usually fatal. ITP is caused by autoantibodies to platelet which can be demonstrated in plasma. Case-Report: A 32 years old male patient sustained minor trauma around his head, following which he developed features of raised intracranial pressure including headache, vomiting and loss of consciousness. On examination Glasgow Coma Scale was 7/15 (E2, M3, V2), left pupil was moderately dilated, there was bilateral papilloedema and haemorrhagic spots on the left sided retina. CT scan of the head showed significant intracranial haemorrhage. Laboratory investigation showed anaemia and thrombocytopenia with platelet count 40X109/L. All the relevant causes of thrombocytopenia were excluded and the diagnosis of ITP was established. Intracranial haemorrhage was managed conservatively without surgical intervention. ITP was managed with splenectomy on 12th day following a period of therapy with steroids, transfusion of packed cell and platelet concentrates.

Although the incidence of Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis is grossly reduced in Indian subcontinent, it occupies a greater segment among heart diseases complicating pregnancy. A 25 years old lady, who was not known as a case of valvular heart disease, was admitted in a secondary level hospital for emergency lower segment caesarean section. The patient developed severe pulmonary oedema during operation which was managed successfully.

Iatrogenic Complications

Perforations are significant iatrogenic complications of endodontic treatment and could lead to endodontic failure. The prognosis is generally excellent if the problem is well-diagnosed and repair is well-performed with a material that can provide proper sealing ability and biocompatibility. In this case report, the patient presented with the complaint of continuous dull pain in his right mandibular first molar tooth. The tooth was attempted for endodontic treatment and perforation has occurred at that time. Radiographic examination revealed, destruction in the furcal area with a little radiolucency and periradicular lesion involving apical region of the roots. Considering the above conditions, endodontic treatment and nonsurgical repair of furcal perforation with mineral trioxide aggregate followed by permanent restoration was planned and performed successfully. Follow up after one month, the patient was symptomless and the affected area was found healthy. However, long term clinico- radiographic follow-up is essential.
