Acquired constriction ring syndrome is a clinical condition of infancy characterized by circumferential constriction of a toe or another appendage, such as fingers and genitalia. The foot and ankle specialist should be aware of this condition because vascular obstruction of the affected appendage can rapidly lead to gangrene and autoamputation. Treatment consists of prompt identification and removal of the constricting foreign material. Although this condition is uncommon, it can lead to digital loss. Early treatment yields a good prognosis. A case report is presented of a 9-week-old infant who experienced acquired constriction ring syndrome caused by a strand of hair wrapped around the third and fourth toes that was treated by unwinding the hair under loupe magnification.

Constriction Ring Syndrome

A case of “acquired constriction ring” or “toe-tourniquet” syndrome is presented to increase awareness of the condition in the orthopaedic community. If treated promptly, this condition has a very good prognosis and, if the diagnosis is missed, may lead to amputation. We also discuss the potential causes and presentation of this condition, along with the need for urgent surgical exploration if there are doubts over tissue viability.

Ocular Findings

Purpose: To describe retinal changes in Susac Syndrome (SS), report its evolution and the importance of follow-up in these patients. Setting: The patient was being followed in the Ophthalmology Department of Irmandade Santa Casa de Misericórdia de São Paulo (ISCMSP) - São Paulo, Brazil. Methods: Case report of a patient with SS and evaluation of alterations observed in ophthalmological, neurological and otological examinations. Discussion: SS lesions can affect the vessels of the retina, brain and inner ear with artery occlusions. The patient in this case had mild changes in the structures that make up the triad of SS. Conclusion: In order to avoid possible relapses of the disease and to maintain a good prognosis, it is necessary to observe regular follow-up and initiation of early treatment to prevent damages that compromise such structures and may cause irreversible deficits to the patient.

Objective: To explain the management of symphysis mandibular fracture in pediatric using erich arch bar.Methods: A 12 years old boy has fracture in mandible due to the accident occurred when his chin hit the touching motorcycle tank. Clinically a deformity at the anterior of mandible and malocclusion has occurred. Patient also complained a pain with swelling and bleeding at the region of fracture and lip. Suturing had been done in wound area for both intra and extra oral area followed by the application of arch bar in maxilla and mandible. Doing evaluation at the third day, a vague fracture line was found in panoramic radiograph.Results: The following treatment done was the application of erich arch bar for mobility reducing the fracture of mandibular symphysis. A good healing act management to symphysis mandibular fracture of 12 years old children with full eruption of teeth has been given to the teeth to develop retention and to stabilize the erich arch bar.Conclusion: Management of pediatric symphysis mandibular fracture for 12 years old children with full eruption of teeth using erich bar revealed a healed fracture.
