Introduction: Congenital bony fusion of the maxilla and mandible, especially as an isolated occurrence, is a rare condition while acquired fusion being even rarer. Case report: A rare case of a 32 year old female patient with acquired unilateral bony fusion between the zygomatic arch of maxilla and ramus of mandible is reported. Discussion: Forty one cases of syngnathia has been reported in the international literature from 1936 to 2009, of which 39 cases are congenital and two were acquired, case 1 probably as a result of a fibrotic tubed pedicle and in case 2 from myositis ossificans. According to several case series, bony ankylosis of the mandible and maxilla has also been found to occur in 30%-43% of cases of NOMA.

A dermoid cyst is a teratoma of a cystic nature which can occur wherever a teratoma can occur. Intra mesenteric dermoid cyst is rarest of rare case and even its incidence is not known. Here, we report a case of intra mesenteric dermoid cyst in 21 yr. old female patient who presented to us with complain of on & off mild pain in abdomen for last 2 years. Intra mesenteric dermoid cyst is a rare condition and when presented with symptoms, it should be operated upon for improving patient’s overall wellbeing. Dermoids belong to the group of congenital cystic tumours developing from an embryonic rest. Such tumours vary from those which contain only epidermal cells to those containing various dermal derivatives, such as glandular cells (sebaceous), and even hair and teeth. So, they vary from pure epidermoids to dermoids and then through the teratoid tumours to the teratomas. These tumours can arise wherever two ectodermal surfaces fuse together in the developing embryo when an ectodermal implant is retained deep in the surface.”1 Intra mesenteric dermoid is very rare and no previous case report regarding intra mesenteric dermoid was found.

Objective: To present a rare case of congenital maxillomandibular fusion or syngnathia. Methods: Study Design: Case report Setting: Tertiary Private Teaching Hospital Patient: One Results: A 3-year-old girl with oral adhesion (syngnathia) caused by a mandibular to maxillary fibrous band underwent successful surgical division of maxillomandibular bony fusion. Subsequent monitoring and serial oral dilations were performed post operatively, resulting in mouth opening of 24mm over a period of 3 months. Currently, the patient is able to tolerate a general liquid diet. Conclusion: Congenital maxillomandibular fusion is a very rare condition with few cases reported. We hope this report contributes to its diagnosis and management in other children. Keywords: Congenital maxillomandibular fusion, syngnathia

Abstract The study presents a case of the rarely occurring totally retained fourth molar teeth simultaneously in maxilla and mandible. The appearance of supernumerary teeth is a relatively uncommon dental anomaly and it is rare for patients to have impacted fourth molars in two quadrant. The aim of this work is to describe the presence of unilateral (right) fourth molars in the maxilla and the mandible in a young female patient aged 24 years. Orthopantomogram revealed impacted lower third molars but also unerupted unilateral (right) upper and lower fourth molars. Before orthodontic treatment, the patient was subsequently admitted for removal of third and fourth impacted upper and lower molars under local anesthesia.

Choriocarcinoma is a malignant tumor that typically appears in gonadal organs and primarily occurs in women of reproductive age. Being a primary extragonadal choriocarcinoma, primary pulmonary choriocarcinoma (PPC) is an extremely rare condition. Due to the rarity of PPC, no standardized treatment has been established so far. However, surgery combined with adjuvant chemotherapy appears to be the most optimal treatment. Here, we report a rare case of a man with PPC that was successfully treated with surgery followed by chemotherapy.

The presence of teeth on babies earlier than four months is a rare condition. Therefore, adequate treatment for each case should be instituted as soon as possible, considering that certain complications may arise. This report describes a rare case in which a newborn baby required the extraction of two mobile mandibular natal teeth to prevent the risk of aspiration. After two years, the clinical re-evaluation showed a residual tooth instead of a temporary one. This case report shows that adequate diagnosis should include a radiographic examination to determine whether these teeth are components of normal or supernumerary dentition, as well as further investigations on the relationship with the adjacent teeth. Another important aspect highlighted in this case report is the need for a post-extraction curettage of the socket in order to reduce the risk of ongoing development of the dental papilla cells.

Fetus papyraceus is a rare condition of a mummified and compressed fetus occurring in multiple gestations where one fetus dies in utero and is merged between the uterine wall and the membranes of living fetus. The blood vessels of the placenta of the two fetuses anastomose with each other, a third cycle occurs, causing fetal death (fetal transfer syndrome). Ultrasonography may identify the Fetus papyraceus, but is not always promising due to anatomical location. Cautious supervision is important during pregnancy for its positive outcome. We report a case of fetus papyraceus in Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Paropakar Maternity and Women’s Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal.

Abstract We report the case of a 12 days old baby boy who presented with swelling and bluish discoloration on his left hip at Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences in November 2018. Ultrasound (USS) was useful in making the diagnosis of a neonatal psoas abscess. He was treated with extraperitoneal drainage and with systemic antibiotics. The clinical presentation and diagnosis, treatment of this rare condition and brief literature review is given in this case report. Key Words: Abscess, Iliopsoas, Neonate, Staphylococcus aureus, Extraperitoneal Drainage. Continuous....
