Limb fracture during recovery from general anaesthesia : an often tragic complication of equine anaesthesia : clinical communication

A 10-year-old Thoroughbred mare was presented for lameness of the left hindlimb as a result of an apical fracture of the lateral proximal sesamoid bone. The mare was ultimately euthanased after suffering catastrophic fractures of the 3rd and 4th metatarsal bones of the contra-lateral hindlimb during an uncoordinated attempt to rise during recovery from general anaesthesia after undergoing arthroscopic surgery. The case report focuses mostly on horse anaesthesia-related mortality, anaesthetic procedure in the horse, possible causes of fractures in horses during recovery and ways in which rate of occurrence of these fractures can be minimised.

Patient Concerns

Introduction: Myoclonic movement is not common side effect after general anaesthesia. Since we use various intravenous agents during general anaesthesia recently, it is troublesome to find out the exact cause of this neurologic complication. Patient concerns: A 28-year-old male patient without any past medical history underwent mandibular cyst enucleation surgery under general anaesthesia. Diagnoses: Sudden myoclonic movement confined to upper trunk and left upper extremity in recovery room after uneventful GA. Outcomes: There was no significant abnormality in electroencephalography or blood tests, which were taken after the event.

Irreparable Damage

ABSTRACT Facial aggressions perpetrated with melee weapons cause injuries that are difficult to treat. Possible aesthetic-functional sequels can cause irreparable damage to the patients. This study presents a case of a patient who suffered physical aggression resulting in a fracture caused with a knife in the orbital cavity that had not been diagnosed during emergency healthcare. After nine months of the primary trauma, the patient developed a fistula in the eyelid region due to infection. The surgery for removal of the foreign body was performed under general anaesthesia and the object was removed through subtarsal approach without causing structural damage to the patient. After satisfactory tissue healing, the treatment was discontinued.

Open Excision

AbstractThe main aim of this case report is to thoroughly describe the steps of diagnosis and treatment in the rare incidence of patellar tendon gouty tophus. The case of a 53-year-old man manual worker who was treated with open excision of the lesion, following failure of extended medical treatment with rheumatological input, is presented. Surgical treatment led to full restoration of the patient's knee function. Open or arthroscopic surgery is a viable option for the unusual case of intratendinous patellar gouty deposition if the patient fails medical management. Medical treatment should still be the mainstay.
