Ornidazole-induced encephalopathy (OIE) is seldom seen in the clinic. In this study, we report a new case of a patient who had taken 1,000 mg ornidazole daily for nearly 4 years because of suspected diarrhea and proctitis and presented with subacute symptoms such as unsteady gait, slurred speech, and psychiatric disorder. These symptoms were significantly relieved 3 days after the patient stopped taking ornidazole. When he took this medicine again, however, similar symptoms occurred 4 months later, which were again reduced after 4 days of drug discontinuation. After the second onset, abnormal signals were identified around the aqueduct of the midbrain, around the fourth ventricle, and in the dentate nuclei of the cerebellum bilaterally. After 9 days of drug discontinuation, lesions disappeared in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results. According to the clinical manifestations, imaging features, and the reduced symptoms after drug withdrawal, we clinically diagnosed the patient with OIE. This paper also reviews the literature on OIE. Only five cases (including our case) have been reported, all of whom presented with cerebellar ataxia and dysarthria and three with additional mental symptoms such as agitation and irritability. All five patients had abnormal lesions in the dentate nucleus of the cerebellum bilaterally, among whom four also had lesions in the corpus callosum and three around the periaqueduct of the midbrain. After withdrawal of ornidazole, the symptoms in all patients vanished or were alleviated, and three of them showed reduced or disappeared lesions in a head MRI reexamination. Overall, OIE has rarely been reported. Our case report and literature review show that the lesions in the cerebellum, corpus callosum, and brainstem can be reversed. The main manifestations of the lesions—cerebellar ataxia, dysarthria, and mental symptoms—quickly weaken or disappear after drug withdrawal, with good prognosis. Nevertheless, clear pathogenesis has yet to be further investigated.

Lrba Deficiency

Abstract Background Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-responsive and beige like anchor (LRBA) deficiency is categorized as a subtype of common variable immune deficiency (CVID). A growing number of case reports and cohorts reveal a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations and variable phenotype expression, including immune dysregulation, enteropathy and recurrent infections. The association between rheumatic disease and CVID generally has been well established, arthritis has been less frequently reported and minimal data regarding its clinical features and characteristic in LRBA deficiency has been published. This case report and literature review evaluates the characteristics and features of arthritis in LRBA deficiency patients. Case presentation and review results Herein, we describe a unique case of LRBA deficiency first presented with poly articular arthritis. Alongside the report, a literature review focusing on LRBA deficiency, rheumatic disease and arthritis has been conducted. We reviewed 43 publications. Among these, 7 patients were identified with arthritis. Age of first presentation was six weeks to 3 years. Male to female ratio was 4/3. Two patients were diagnosed with polyarticular Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and three with oligoarticular JIA. Each patient was found to have different genomic mutation. The treatment was diverse and included corticosteroids, cyclosporine, methotrexate, adalidumab and abatacept. Conclusion Joint involvement is variable in LRBA deficiency, hence it should always be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis for a patient with combination of juvenile arthritis and clinically atypical immune dysregulation and / or immunodeficiency.

Two patients with cerebellopontine angle (CPA) lipoma were studied. They were submitted to surgical treatment. Available literature was reviewed and 29 cases with same lesion were identified which had been treated by surgery. Clinical manifestations, possibility of diagnostic methods, surgical indications and treatment strategies are discussed. Attention is called to the peculiarities of CPA lipomas and the doubtful vality of attempting complete excision in all cases.

Odontoma refere-se a tumores de origem odontogênica. Sua etiologia envolve distúrbios de desenvolvimento, traumatismos e infecções. Embora o crescimento seja lento e geralmente assintomático, complicações de ordem estética e funcional podem advir da permanência desta lesão. Os odontomas podem ser classificados como complexos e compostos, e o seu tratamento envolve a remoção cirúrgica conservadora com posterior exame histopatológico. Neste artigo é relatado um caso clínico de uma remoção de um canino incluso no palato associado a um odontoma com posterior enxertia utilizando enxerto do ramo mandibular particulado.Descritores: Odontoma; Cirurgia Bucal; Dente Canino.ReferênciasTeruhisa U, Murakami J, Hitasomi M, Yanagi Y, Asaumi J.

Afibrinogenemia is a rare congenital coagulopathy that leads to life-threatening bleeding. In afibrinogenemia, plasma fibrinogen levels are less than 0.1 g/L. The clinical manifestations of the disease can be both bleeding and thromboses of different localizations, which is determined by the multifunctional role of fibrinogen in hemostasis. The described cases demonstrate different clinical phenotypes of the disease. In both cases the diagnosis was confirmed by genetic examinations that revealed homozygous mutations in the fibrinogen A genes. The nature of the mutations assumes consanguineous marriages, as confirmed by the results of a genealogical analysis. Fibrinogen preparations are promising in treating afibrinogenemia in Russia.

Benign subcutaneous facial cysts are common in children and young adults. They are largely of cosmetic concern. Removal of sebaceous and epidermoid cysts in this population can leave unsightly scars, occasionally worse in appearance than the original pathology. In the present case report, the technique of cyst excision via an intaoral route is outlined. The literature review emphasizes the importance of placing facial incisions in inconspicuous areas.
