Osseous Defect

One of the most common dental cysts to affect the human jaw is radicular cyst. The tooth/teeth associated with radicular cysts are usually non-vital and rarely presents with clinical signs and symptoms until diagnosed during routine dental examination. The present case report highlights on radicular cyst enucleation, apicoectomy of the involved teeth and periodontal management of the resultant osseous defect using alloplast bone graft, platelet-rich brin (PRF) and guided tissue regeneration (GTR) membrane.

ABSTRACT Introduction The diagnosis of traumatic brain injuries is typically based on hemispheric blasts resulting in degrees of unconsciousness and associated cerebral injuries. This case report describes a Vietnam War era setting in which a traumatic blast wave struck the posterior cranium in the region of the foramen magnum, occipital crest, and other skull openings (orbit, oronasal, and ear) and the unique secondary clinical signs and symptoms experienced over time. Materials and Methods This case report describes secondary delayed-onset clinical signs and symptoms consistent with progressive decades-long physical and functional complications. The traumatic blast resulted in brief unconsciousness, decreased vision in left eye, confusion, right sided hemotympanum, deafness, severe tinnitus, severe nasopharynx pain and difficulty swallowing, pain in right posterior and occipital area of the head, and loss of dental amalgams. Subsequent exams revealed progressive hyperacusis, sea sickness, dysdiadochokinesis, diagnosis of 9th and 10th cranial nerve traumatic schwannomas, hyperdense changes to the frontal lobe white matter, progressive tinnitus, chronic vertigo, right-sided high-frequency hearing loss, progressive oculo-gyric crisis of Tumarkin-like seizures, left-sided chronic vitreous hemorrhage, and diminished right hemisphere performance of the brain based on neurophysiological assessment. No post-traumatic stress, depression, or other emotional or psychiatric difficulties were claimed. Conclusion This case report, unique to the English language scientific literature, discusses in detail the secondary signs and symptoms of a foramen magnum and occipital crest focused-associated blast injury.

Clinical Signs And Symptoms

Acute appendicitis in puerperium is often diagnosed too late, because clinical signs can be unrelaible. Abdominal wall rigidity is rarely noticed in puerpeium because of weak abdominal wall muscles, laboratory parameters are not enough relaible and atipycal appendix presentation makes difficulties in diagnosis3,4. Knowing clinical signs and symptoms of appendicitis, possible complications and their early detection, make a chance for a good surgical outcome. Measuring of axillar and rectal temperature can take confusion in, and prolong time until surgical treatment. Leucocytosis in puerperium is not valid for diagnosis. We report a case of patient in puerperium with high laboratory infection parameters. Diagnosis of appendicitis is made based on clinical signs and symptoms, that is proved intraoperatively and histologicaly. Appendectomy without perforation carries less risks for mother and fetus.

Coronavirus disease 2019 has presented itself with a variety of clinical signs and symptoms. One of these has been the accordance of spontaneous pneumothorax which in instances has caused rapid deterioration of patients. Furthermore pneumothorax may happen secondary to intubation and the resulting complications. Not enough is discussed regarding cases with COVID-19 related pneumothorax and proper management of these patients. The present article reports an elderly patient with spontaneous pneumothorax secondary to COVID-19 and reviews the existing literature.

<p><strong>Background:</strong> Aspergillus spondylodiscitis is increasingly described in immune-compromised patients. Its diagnosis is challenging and its delay results in high mortality and morbidity in view of its relative infrequency and the non- specific clinical signs and symptoms.</p><p><strong>Case report:</strong>We report a case of thoracic spondylodiscitis caused by Aspergillus fumigatus in a patient of renal transplantation and with proven pulmonary tuberculosis.</p><p><strong>Conclusion:</strong>We reiterate that transplantist and the treating physician should have high grade of suspicion for the invasive Aspergillosis even when the patient complains of vague non-specific back pain, and aggresively aim to rule out fungal infection. Early surgical debridement and antifungal therapy to be executedto prevent rapid progression of invasive aspergillosis and neurological damage.</p>

Abstract Measles infection in pregnant women is a very dangerous clinical condition. Patients usually had complicated pneumonia, and measles virus could pass through the placenta to the fetus, leading to premature delivery, stillbirth, miscarriage and neonatal measles. In this report, we described one such case, which was diagnosed by clinical signs and symptoms, clinical and laboratory examination. After proper therapeutic treatment, the infection was well-controlled and a baby was born by nature labor.

A case report of a patient who developed water intoxication during carbamazepine therapy is described. The discontinuation of carbamazepine, along with supportive care, resulted in spontaneous diuresis and the resolution of both the laboratory and clinical signs and symptoms of water intoxication. A review of the literature regarding carbamazepine-associated water intoxication and a discussion of the mechanism of its antidiuretic effect is presented.

Introduction: Chylous ascites is a rare form of ascites characterized by milk-like peritoneal fluid, rich in triglycerides. Clinical signs and symptoms include abdominal distention, pain, nausea, and vomiting. In gynecology, the most common cause for its occurrence is lymph dissection leading to impairment of major lymphatic vessels. There are only a few reported cases of chylous ascites arising after operations for benign diseases. Case report: We report a case of a 46-year-old female patient, who underwent laparoscopy for a myomatous node with chylous ascites occurring on post-surgery Day 2. The ascites was conservatively managed. The exact cause of the chyloperitonitis could not be determined. Conclusion: Although extremely rarely, chylous ascites may also occur in operative interventions for benign diseases in gynecological surgery.

Early Debridement

Necrotizing fasciitis is an uncommon lethal bacterial infection that involves the subcutaneous tissue and fascia. It can be mono or polymicrobial infection. The diagnosis is mainly dependent on clinical signs and symptoms. Trauma is the commonest cause for it. The early signs and symptoms may mimic cellulitis. We present a case of necrotizing fasciitis following an assault. The patient was received in a state of shock. Despite all measures, the patient could not be saved. Early debridement and antibiotic therapy have a key role in the prognosis of the disease. Medicolegal issues can arise when the disease develops post-assault because of the vague and unpredictable nature of the disease and its challenging prognosis.
