Introduction Cancer is an important risk factor for venous and arterial thromboembolic events. Treatment with chemotherapy was associated with a 6.5-fold increase in the risk of thromboembolic events. Here, we present a patient with cilioretinal artery emboli during cisplatin-based therapy. Case report A 54-year-old male patient with a diagnosis of metastatic small cell carcinoma was under cisplatin-based regimen. He presented with visual disturbance. Retinal fluorescein angiography showed multiple plaques located in cilioretinal artery and cilioretinal artery occlusion. After excluding other potential etiological factors, patient was diagnosed with cilioretinal artery occlusion associated with cisplatin. Discussion In oncology practice, patients are prone to thromboembolic events due to primary disease, underlying comorbidities and treatment modalities. In addition to numerous toxicities, cisplatin is an important risk factor for thromboembolic events. Clinicians caring patients with a diagnosis of cancer should be aware of this rare complication of cisplatin-based therapies.

ABSTRACT Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a premalignant condition associated with restricted mouth opening. Oral submucous fibrosis is poorly understood and unsatisfactorily treated disease. Serious complication is the risk of development of oral carcinoma. Different treatment modalities like medical, surgical, physical therapy or combination are used to improve the condition of the patient. Surgical treatment is usually indicated in late and irreversible stage of the disease. Successful use of nasolabial flap in the management of OSMF is presented.

Submucous Fibrosis

Oral submucous fibrosis is a chronic debilitating disease characterized by gradually increasing fibrosis of the oral cavity and pharynx, mainly the buccal mucosa, resulting in trismus. The highest incidence of oral submucous fibrosis is seen in South India due to various deleterious habits. In spite of the numerous medical modalities employed in the management of oral submucous fibrosis, occasionally surgical intervention becomes inevitable. Various surgical approaches have been used to reconstruct the surgical defects following excision of fibrous bands. Full thickness skin grafts have been described in the literature with variable outcomes. In the present study a 38-year-old male presented with severe oral submucous fibrosis of the buccal mucosa, which was successfully treated and reconstructed using full thickness skin graft with stable functional result after one year of treatment. An integrated review of the literature regarding etiology, histopathology, diagnostic, and treatment modalities of the disease follows.

Oral Sub Mucous Fibrosis

Oral submucous fibrosis is a chronic insidious oral mucosal condition causing trismus and reduced mouth opening and it is affecting predominantly Indian and other Asians. The treatment of trismus requires combination of pharmacological agents, surgical therapy and physiotherapy, the latter is essential for preventing relapse due to postoperative inactivity and scarring as well as for improvement of mouth opening. Computerized literature search was performed from 1993 till 2021 to select eligible articles from the following databases: PUBMED [MEDLINE], SCOPUS, SCIENCE DIRECT, and COCHRANE DATABASE using specific keywords. The search was limited to articles published as full text in English, which were screened by two reviewers for eligibility.This article describes in depth about various appliances, devices used in oral submucous fibrosis. The devices can be used along with pharmacological and surgical treatment modalities or can be used alone. Mouth exercise is also well-established method to improve mouth opening and also to prevent postsurgical relapse. This article is one of the rare article that describes all the appliances together either directly used or indirectly used for the case of microstomia due to oral sub mucous fibrosis.

ABSTRACT Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is an established precancerous condition with increased prevalence in the Indian subcontinent. The treatment of OSMF is a challenging task for a clinician. Different authors have suggested variety of treatment modalities and have claimed success rates; still there is no universally acceptable protocol for the management of OSMF. In our case, transaction of bands was done by contact diode lasers (12 watt) under local anesthesia and it offered good results. Diode lasers offered excellent results and had many advantages over conventional surgical treatment. How to cite this article Soni A, Sharma S, Chitlangia P, Amit, Agarwal P.

Oral submucous fibrosis is a chronic, premalignant condition that is prevalent in Asian countries like India, Pakistan and Srilanka. Oral cancer accounts for around 30% of the cancer cases in India. It is important to understand the prevalence of the disease for its effective management. The aim of the study was to understand the prevalence of the condition and the popularity of various treatment modalities used in its management, along with the prevalence of OSMF patients requiring prosthetic rehabilitation. Case sheets of around 23,000 patients were reviewed from March 2019 to June 2020 out of which 100 patients were affected by oral submucous fibrosis. To eliminate bias, all patients affected by the disease were included in the study. Epidemiological data of the patient along with their ongoing treatment, was collected and tabulated in MS Excel sheet. The data was then analyzed using IBM SPSS software version 23: The prevalence of OSMF in males was 92% while in females, it was 8%. The age group of 31-40 years was found to be most commonly affected, and pan chewing was observed to be the most common abusive habit amongst OSMF patients. The most common treatment modality used was non-invasive methods within which antioxidant therapy was the most popularly used modality. The increasing prevalence of OSMF amongst the younger population is a matter of great concern. The present study shows the prevalence of OSMF in males, especially in the young and middle-aged population. Thus it is important to increase awareness amongst the youth regarding the condition and to increase awareness amongst the dentists regarding the various treatment modalities to effectively prevent and clinically manage such conditions.
