Discharge From Hospital

A young male patient of 24 years was presented with the complaints of upper back pain, hyposthesia and unable to walk. MRI of upper dorsal region reveals intradural extramedullary mass lesion extending from D1 to D4 with moderate enhancement of gadolinium. Hence an extensive laminectomy and total removal of the mass. Peroperative impression and histopathological findings confirm vascular schwannoma. After operation dramatic improvement of signs and symptoms, patient can walk with minimum support during discharge from hospital.

A young male patient of 22 years was presented with the complaints of low back pain, hypoesthesia and inability to walk. MRI of lumbosacral spine reveals intradural mass lesion extending from L2-L3 with no enhancement of gadolinium. Hence an extensive laminectomy and total removal of the mass was done. Peroperative impression confirms arachnoid cyst. After operation there was dramatic improvement of signs and symptoms; patient was able to walk without support during discharge from the hospital after one week. Mediscope 2021;8(2): 128-130

Orbital Region

Background: The orbital region can be occupied by various lesions including both neoplastic or non-neoplastic. Schwannomas of the supraorbital nerve are very rare tumors. Case Report: A case of a 15 years-old female patient with a one year history of progressive proptosis and no visual symptoms is presented with. This patient underwent a combined surgery with total removal of the tumor. Discussion: Intraorbital schwannomas are usually associated with neurofibromatosis and different structures can originate these tumours, including peripheral and cranial nerves. The signs and symptoms usually follow a chronic process. Surgical treatment is necessary, with various reported surgical approaches. Conclusion: We report, to the best of our knowledge, the eleventh case of schwannoma of the supraorbital nerve, describing the main features of this pathology.

Rotatory Subluxation

The authors present a case report of a patient discovered to have a rotatory subluxation of the C1–2 joint and a large retroodontoid pannus with an enhancing lesion in the odontoid process eventually proving to be caused by gout. This patient represented a diagnostic conundrum as she had known prior diagnoses of not only gout but also sarcoidosis and possible rheumatoid arthritis, and was in the demographic range where concern for an oncological process cannot fully be ruled out. Because she presented with signs and symptoms of atlantoaxial instability, she required posterior stabilization to reduce the rotatory subluxation and to stabilize the C1–2 instability. However, despite the presence of a large retroodontoid pannus, she had no evidence of spinal cord compression on physical examination or imaging and did not require an anterior procedure to decompress the pannus. To confirm the diagnosis but avoid additional procedures and morbidity, the authors proceeded with the fusion as well as a posterior biopsy to the retroodontoid pannus and confirmed a diagnosis of gout.

Scorpion Stings

Introduction. Scorpion stings occur mainly in spring and summer, with an estimate of 1.2 million cases per year worldwide. About 300,000 poisonings occur within a year, primarily affecting children and adults older than 65 years. In 2019, Guanajuato (Mexico) ranked third in poisoning by scorpion sting with a total of 43,913 cases. The intoxication grades are three where the signs and symptoms are varied. There are two types of antivenom in the Mexican market, and we use Alacramyn® in our case. Case presentation. A 70-year-old female —with grade 1 scorpion sting poisoning, 30 minutes of evolution, with type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure— received two vials of antivenom according to current regulations. She presented transient vagal reaction and subsequent transient pain in the cervical region that radiates to the sacral region. At discharge, there are no data compatible with scorpion sting poisoning. Conclusions. Transient pain in the cervical region to the sacral region may be secondary to an anxiety crisis, hypersensitivity to IgG, or secondary reaction to administration in less time than recommended by the provider. The benefit was greater than the reactions that occurred.

Histological Data

The aim of the present study is to assess the clinical and histological healing of a post-extractive alveolus following the procedure for socket preservation, in a patient receiving oral bisphosphonates for more than 6 years. After the extraction, enzymatically-deantigenated horse bone granules and an equine pericardium membrane were used to preserve the tooth socket. The patient was placed on a monthly follow-up in order to monitor the healing process. A 3 mm trephine bur was used to drill the bone for implant site preparation and to collect the bone sample. No signs and symptoms related to osteonecrosis of the jaws were reported. Histological data showed that, after 5 months, the mean percentages of trabecular bone, bone marrow and residual bone graft were respectively 45.74 ± 0.09%, 48.09 ± 0.08%, and 6.16 ± 0.01%. The residual graft material appeared to be osteointegrated and none of the particles appeared to be encapsulated. The present case report supports the guidelines that assume that patients undergoing oral bisphosphonate therapy can be eligible for surgical therapy. More clinical studies with larger sample sizes are needed to support this clinical evidence.
