ABSTRACT Throat pain is one of the most frequent complaints prompting patient visits to healthcare professionals. Primary care physicians being the fi rst contact point are frequently encountered with symptoms such as sore throat and odynophagia. However, high level of diagnostic uncertainty exists when the oropharyngeal examination is normal despite patients’ complaints of severe pain. We present four Caucasian Greek patients, two males aged 47 and 57 years and two females aged 32 and 47 years respectively admitted to an Ear Nose and Throat department of a general hospital, with severe throat pain and initially normal oropharyngeal examination. This case series highlights the necessity for a high level of suspicion on the part of the primary care physicians when facing patients complaining of severe throat pain since their symptoms may indicate conditions such as supraglottitis, lingual tonsillitis or pemphigus vulgaris. A careful clinical examination, including an indirect laryngoscopy, is required especially when the initial oropharyngeal examination is normal.

High Index Of Suspicion

Introduction Throat pain is one of the most common complaints that an otolaryngologist encounters in daily practice, there can be numerous aetiologies to it. Eagle Syndrome is one such entity which is characterized by chronic throat pain due to elongation of the styloid process or mineralization of the stylohyoid ligament. The vague symptomatology of this condition often leads to delayed diagnosis and treatment.    Case Reports We report 5 cases of Eagle Syndrome. All the patients presented to us with complaints of chronic throat radiating to neck which did not relieve on taking medications, for the same they have been consulting multiple specialities. The diagnosis of Eagle Syndrome was confirmed by palpation in tonsillar fossa and orthopantomogram revealed enlarged styloid process measuring more than 30mm. Upon confirmation, all the 5 patients underwent tonsillo-styloidectomy and on consequent follow ups, they were symptomatically improved. Discussion Eagle Syndrome is a diagnosis of exclusion and should raise high index of suspicion in patients with nonspecific throat and neck pain not responding to any conservative treatment. With an increasing incidence of side effects following injudicious treatment given in such cases, this condition requires attention, as it a rare entity and often misdiagnosed.

ABSTRACT Drug-induced airway hematoma is a very rare condition. The incidence of hemorrhage with anticoagulants is 6.8%. We hereby present the case reports of two such cases. Both patients presented with dysphagia and throat pain. One was on warfarin and the other was on aspirin. Examination revealed laryngeal and retropharyngeal hematoma respectively. Discontinuation of drugs and reversal of anticoagulation improved the symptoms. In the second case, retropharyngeal hematoma was drained. These cases highlight the importance of suspecting this entity in patients on drugs, especially anticoagulants who present with upper aerodigestive tract symptoms. Timely intervention and reversal of coagulopathy can save the patients. How to cite this article Divya GM, Dahiya V, Ramachandran K, Muhammed F. Drug-induced Airway Hematoma.

Abstract. The aim of this review was to investigate presentation, aetiology, management, and outcomes of bowel ischaemia following EVAR. We present a case report and searched electronic bibliographic databases to identify published reports of bowel ischaemia following elective infra-renal EVAR not involving hypogastric artery coverage or iliac branch devices. We conducted our review according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement standards. In total, five cohort studies and three case reports were included. These studies detailed some 6,184 infra-renal elective EVARs, without procedure-related occlusion of the hypogastric arteries, performed between 1996 and 2014. Bowel ischaemia in this setting is uncommon with an incidence ranging from 0.5 to 2.8 % and includes a spectrum of severity from mucosal to transmural ischaemia. Due to varying reporting standards, an overall proportion of patients requiring bowel resection could not be ascertained. In the larger series, mortality ranged from 35 to 80 %. Atheroembolization, hypotension, and inferior mesenteric artery occlusion were reported as potential causative factors. Elderly patients and those undergoing prolonged procedures appear at higher risk. Bowel ischaemia is a rare but potentially devastating complication following elective infra-renal EVAR and can occur in the setting of patent mesenteric vessels and hypogastric arteries. Mortality ranges from 35 to 80 %. Further research is required to identify risk factors and establish prophylactic measures in patients that have an increased risk of developing bowel ischaemia after standard infra-renal EVAR.

Clinical And Pathological Features

Background: To investigate the hypothesis that cases of arteritis similar to thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) and associated with the use of cannabis were caused by cannabis or THC (dronabinol), or that cannabis use is a co-factor of TAO. Patients and methods: A systematic review on case reports and the literature on so-called cannabis arteritis, TAO, and cardiovascular effects of cannabinoids was conducted. Results: Fifteen reports with 57 cases of an arteritis associated with the use of cannabis and two additional case series of TAO, in which some patients also used cannabis, were identified. Clinical and pathological features of cannabis-associated arteritis do not differ from TAO and the major risk factor of TAO, tobacco use, was present in most, if not in all of these cases. The proposed pathophysiological mechanisms for the development of an arteritis by cannabis use are not substantiated. Conclusions: The hypothesis of cannabis being a causative factor or co-factor of TAO or an arteritis similar to TAO is not supported by the available evidence. The use of the term “cannabis arteritis” should be avoided until or unless more convincing scientific support is forthcoming.

Klinische Symptome

Häufige Frakturen im Bereich der Schulter betreffen je nach Alter die Clavicula oder den proximalen Humerus. Die Indikation zur operativen Stabilisierung ist bei Luxationsfrakturen des lateralen Claviculaendes und bei instabilen und dislozierten Frakturen des proximalen Humerus grosszügig zu stellen. Werden Kirschner-Drähte zur Osteosynthese eingesetzt muss in hohem Masse mit Drahtwanderungen oder Drahtbrüchen gerechnet werden. In mehreren Fällen wird in der Literatur auf diese Komplikation hingewiesen. Anhand von vier Fallbeispielen möchten wir Ursachen und technische Voraussetzungen aufzeigen, die bei dieser operativen Variante zu lebensbedrohlichen Komplikationen durch eine sekundäre Migration führen können. Dies unter Umständen nach Jahren und ohne klinische Symptome. Die Indikation zur Kirschnerdraht-Osteosynthese muss vor allem bei vorliegender Osteoporose zurückhaltend gestellt werden. Regelmässige Kontrollen in der postoperativen Phase werden empfohlen, die Entfernung der Drähte sollte bei konsolidierter Fraktur frühzeitig geplant werden.
