A 7-year-old intact male Rottweiler dog was evaluated for recurrent dysphagia and regurgitation. Physical examination was unremarkable and routine blood works were within normal limits. Computed tomography revealed a defined lesion in the caudal mediastinum arising from the oesophagus. The lesion was excised using intercostal thoracotomy and the histological diagnosis was oesophageal duplication cyst. The dog recovered uneventfully and at a 3-year follow-up no clinical signs were reported. Although extremely rare, oesophageal duplication cysts should be considered in the differential diagnosis in cases of chronic regurgitation and dysphagia associated with evidence of an oesophageal lesion.

AbstractNon-surgical endodontic retreatment should always be the first option for reintervention when the initial endodontic treatment fails. The surgical treatment, called periradicular surgery, will be the procedure of choice when there is no success after the conventional endodontic retreatment. The purpose of this article is to describe clinical case of endodontic surgery, associated with guided tissue regeneration (GTR). A male patient, 24 years old, was referred for endodontic surgery on tooth 12 after two unsuccessful endodontic interventions. During the surgery, osteotomy, lesion curettage, apicectomy, retrograde obturation with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA), and filling of the bone failure with lyophilized bone and reabsorbable collagen membrane were performed. After six months of follow-up, the patient did not present any type of painful symptomatology. The endodontic surgery, associated with a technique of guided tissue regeneration, was efficient to solve this clinical case. Keywords: Endodontics. Apicoectomy. Guided Tissue Regeneration. Resumo O retratamento endodôntico não cirúrgico deve sempre ser a primeira opção de reintervenção quando o tratamento endodôntico inicial falha. Já o tratamento cirúrgico, ou cirurgia parendodôntica, será o procedimento de escolha quando não há sucesso após o retratamento endodôntico convencional. O objetivo deste artigo é descrever um caso clínico de cirurgia parendodôntica, associada à regeneração tecidual guiada (RTG). O paciente, gênero masculino, 24 anos, foi encaminhado para cirurgia parendodôntica no dente 12 após duas intervenções endodônticas sem sucesso. Durante a cirurgia foram realizadas manobras de osteotomia, curetagem da lesão, apicectomia, obturação retrógrada com Mineral Trióxido Agregado (MTA), além de preenchimento da falha óssea com osso liofilizado e membrana de colágeno reabsorvível. Após seis meses de acompanhamento do caso, o paciente não apresentou nenhum tipo de sintomatologia dolorosa. A cirurgia parendodôntica, associada à técnica de regeneração tecidual guiada, foi eficiente para solucionar este caso clínico. Palavras-chave: Endodontia. Apicectomia. Regeneração Tecidual Guiada.

Peri-implant diseases are defined as pathological inflammatory reactions in the tissue surrounding the osseointegrated implants. They are classified into two categories: mucositis - defined as peri-implant soft tissue inflammation and peri-implantitis - bone loss in the peri-implant region. A clinical case of a 61-years-old woman with an implant in the 46 anatomical position and a 5-year follow-up is presented. A probe depth of 5mm and a bone defect length of 35% was observed. The Implacure® Protocol was applied, with the main objective of eliminating the biofilm present on the exposed implant surface. There are multiple approaches to treat peri-implant diseases. While non-surgical treatment is essential for mucositis control, the treatment of peri-implantitis surgical treatment should be considered. Regenerative bone reconstruction promotes bone repair in the defect area and reduces bleeding during probing. To achieve that, autologous fibrin combined with Cerasorb M® was used. The proposed approach in the exposed clinical case involves the application of Implacure® Protocol, whose combination of the physical decontamination technique, together with the use of chlorhexidine and orthophosphoric acid, added with the combination Piperacillin + Tazobactam together with hyaluronic acid, provide a base that allows to regenerate bone using platelet-rich fibrin with Cerasorb M® and increase the survival time of the implant.

The paper presents a rare clinical case of surgical treatment of a patient with a giant invasive schwannoma of the thoracolumbar spine. A single-stage en block resection of the tumor through a combined posteroanterior approach was performed followed by replacement of post-resection interbody diastasis with a carbon implant and by posterior instrumental fixation of the spine. The pain syndrome regressed from VAS scores 7 and 8 (back, lower limbs) to scores 4 and 1, respectively. The follow-up examination was conducted at 6 and 12 months after surgery: there were no signs of relapse. Publications on giant invasive spinal schwannomas were analyzed.

Idiopathic sino-nasal obstruction resulting in retention of large amounts of liquid in the paranasal sinus compartments was diagnosed in seven young (2. 2 ± 0.7 years) miniature-breed horses based on clinical, endoscopic, radiographic, and CT scan examinations. The most prevalent clinical signs included decreased or no airflow from the nostril(s) (7/7) and nasal discharge (6/7). The problem presented bilaterally in six of seven cases. An alternative sino-nasal communication was created through bone flap osteotomy surgery and perforation of the ventromedial floor of the dorsal conchae in all cases, followed by fixation of silicone irrigation tubes/Foley catheters in six of seven cases to keep the newly created ostium patent. This resulted in long-term resolution of the problem with good cosmetic appearance in all animals following a median period of 19 months. Premature loss of fixed tubes was reported in three cases.

Objective. To determine the peculiarities of operative technique in surgical treatment of patients with nodular goiter on background of autoimmune thyroiditis. Materials and methods. The results of surgical treatment of nodular goiter, basing on data from surgical clinic of the Second Clinical Hospital in City of Poltava through 2003 - 2017 yrs were adduced. There were operated 549 patients, suffering nodular goiter. There were 58 (10.6%) men and 491 (89.4%) women. Unilateral nontoxic nodular goiter was observed in 187 (34.1%) patients, multinodular nontoxic – in 322 (58.7%), multinodular toxic – in 30 (5.5%), thyreotoxic adenoma – in 21 (3.8%) patients. Cervico-retrosternal goiter was in 110 (20.0%) patients. For recurrent goiter 21 (3.8%) patients were operated. Malignant tumors were revealed intraoperatively or after definite histological investigation in 22 (4/0%) patients. Of 108 patients, to whom, basing on the disease clinical signs, laboratory data and preoperative cytological investigation the diagnosis of nodular goiter on background of autoimmune thyroiditis was established, while performing of definite postoperative investigation macromicrofollicular colloidal goiter was revealed in 41 (38%), nodular goiter with the autoimmune thyroiditis – in 51 (47.2%), cancer (papillary, follicular) – in 8 (14.8%) patients. Subtotal resection of thyroid gland was performed in 8 (15.7%) patients, hemithyroidectomy - in 12 (23.5%), extrafascial thyroidectomy – in 23 (45.1%). In patients, suffering thyroidal gland cancer, extrafascial thyroidectomy was performed, while in 3 – with central lymphodissection. Intraoperatively visual macroscopic estimation of thyroid gland and obligatory suboperative cyto- and histological investigations of the specimen obtained were performed. Operative tactics was applied in accordance to actual clinical protocols for treatment of patients, suffering surgical pathology of endocrine system. Results. Some technical measures were proposed to minimize the risk of injury of anatomic structures: lower laryngeal nerve, parathyroidal glands, trachea, the neck vessels. Conclusion. Extrafascial procedure guarantees a visual control in the risk zones and radicality of operation, minimizes the specific complications rate.

Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome usually caused by small-sized tumors. Tumors secrete fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), which has a phosphaturic effect. The clinical signs of TIO are non-specific, and include fatigue, bone pain and muscle weakness, which makes timely diagnosis of the disease difficult and treatment is often delayed. Well-timed diagnosis is essential and combined with complete tumor resection it leads to complete relief of symptoms and good postoperative prognosis. In cases of undetected tumors, medical treatment with phosphate supplements and active vitamin D medications is usually successful, however, treatment is associated with numerous complications and side effects can be burdensome for the patients. Due to the risk of recurrence or metastasis, patients with TIO require long-term management and follow-up. In this article, we present a clinical case of successful diagnosis and treatment of TIO in a young patient with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
