Prosthetic rehabilitation of resected orbit in a case of mucormycosis.

ABSTRACT: The design of orbital prosthesis to rehabilitate patients with orbital exenteration depends on the underlying clinical condition, material chosen for prosthesis, method of retention of the prosthesis, and and preference of the patient. Rehabilitation of a patient with orbital exenteration due to mucormycosis has been described by fabricating a prosthesis that used polymethyl methacrylate (to fabricate a conformer) and silicone material (to fabricate prosthetic superstructure). The two-component prosthesis was designed to attain dual mechanical retention using an anatomic undercut (conformer) and manually created mechanical undercut (prosthetic superstructure). The objective was to maintain the biological health of the underlying postsurgical tissue, longevity of the prosthesis, optimal esthetics, and adequate retention.

Prosthetic rehabilitation of oral submucous fibrosis patients: A systematic review of published case reports and case series.

Project description:BackgroundOral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is an insidious chronic condition characterized by restricted mouth opening. Prosthetic rehabilitation is challenging for OSF patients as obtaining a good impression requires adequate mouth opening. The aim of the present review is to systematically present the data from case reports published in the English-language literature.MethodA comprehensive search of the literature databases (PubMed, Medline, SCOPUS, Web of Science and Google Scholar) along with the references of published articles on prosthetic rehabilitation in OSF patients published to date was conducted. Keywords included a combination of 'Oral submucous fibrosis', 'prosthesis', 'dentures' and/or 'restricted mouth opening'. Citations from selected references and bibliographic linkages taken from similar cases were included in this review. The inclusion criteria selected for case reports on prosthetic rehabilitation in OSF patients, and cases of restricted mouth opening due to causes other than OSF were excluded from the study.ResultsA total of 21 cases were identified and analysed from 17 papers published in the English-language literature. Of these, 9 cases employed the sectional denture technique, 4 cases emphasized the need-based treatment approach in which conventional methods were modified, and 4 cases used mouth exercising devices. Finally, 1 case each involved, flexible denture, oral screen prosthesis, oral stents, surgery in conjunction with dentures.ConclusionProsthetic rehabilitation in OSF patients is a multifaceted approach and should be patient specific, although sectional dentures have achieved the best results.

Cardiac mucormycosis: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundMucormycosis is an invasive fungal infection (IFI) most commonly seen in immunocompromised patients. Diabetic ketoacidosis, haematopoietic transplantation, iron overload states, and deferoxamine therapy are considered to be some of the classical risk factors. While cutaneous and rhino-sinusoidal forms may be seen in immunocompetent (IC) individuals, cardiac and mediastinal involvement is rare. In this report, we describe a young patient without predisposing factors who presented as mediastinal mucormycosis with extensive cardiac involvement.Case summaryA 19-year-old male presented with complaints of dry cough and dyspnoea on exertion over the last 4 months. Echocardiography showed diffuse infiltration of both atria along with multiple pedunculated freely mobile masses. A computed tomography chest was done to further delineate the true extent of the disease and revealed diffuse infiltration of the mediastinum, bilateral atria and interatrial septum, pulmonary veins, and superior vena cava. A fine needle aspiration cytology from a mediastinal mass revealed broad aseptate fungal hyphae with right angled branching consistent with Mucor. Extensive evaluation could not find any predisposing factors. The patient was started on Amphotericin B and surgical debridement was contemplated. However, owing to the diffuse infiltration around the heart and mediastinal vasculature, debridement could not be performed and the patient eventually succumbed to the illness.DiscussionMediastinal mucormycosis though rare in IC patients, is a rapidly progressive condition with a high fatality. A high index of suspicion needs to be maintained in individuals presenting with infiltrative disorders of the mediastinum for early diagnosis and prompt treatment.

One-stage jaw reconstruction and prosthetic rehabilitation with an iliac flap: a case report and literature review.

Project description:BackgroundOne-stage jaw reconstruction with fibular flap and prosthetic rehabilitation restores bony and dental continuity simultaneously. It was also called as "jaw-in-a-day (JIAD)" technique. However, bone volume and height of fibular flap may be insufficient for dental implant insertion. The provision of a considerable amount of bone makes an iliac flap the ideal choice in these cases. We present the first case report to document the use of one-stage jaw reconstruction and prosthetic rehabilitation with the iliac flap.Case presentationWe modified the conventional JIAD workflow to make it suitable for iliac flap. Two cases were presented who both underwent segmental mandibulectomy for ameloblastoma. Virtual surgical planning was performed in all cases. The iliac crest was positioned upward to provide cortical bone for achieving primary stability of dental implants. Similar to the "all-on-4" procedure, the iliac bone was placed 12 to 15 mm below the occlusal plane to create adequate space for the implant-retained prosthesis. Immediate implant-based dental rehabilitation was performed at same stage. The surgery was successful in all cases without any short-term complications. In the first postoperative week, patients were given a liquid diet through a nasal feeding tube. The liquid diet is advised until 1 month after the surgery. Thereafter, a soft diet is recommended. Patients were advised to resume routine mastication and normal diet 3 months after the surgery. Peri-implantitis occurred in one patient, and additional gingival graft was required. Postoperative function and esthetics were satisfactory at the last follow-up visit.ConclusionsOne-stage jaw reconstruction and prosthetic rehabilitation with the iliac flap are safe and useful for restoring postoperative function and esthetics. It should be used in more cases with a longer follow-up in further studies.

Prosthetic rehabilitation of defects of the head and neck.

Project description:Patients afflicted with head and neck cancer, traumatic injuries to the head and neck, or those with congenital or developmental defects benefit from multidisciplinary team management. The head and neck region participates in complex physiologic processes that can often be impeded by these circumstances. Evaluation of the patient by the maxillofacial prosthodontist can assist the other members of the team in providing treatment planning options for the patients. Intraoral defects arising from these circumstances can be treated with prosthodontics that serve to assist with speech, swallowing, and to some degree mastication. If chemotherapeutic or radiation modalities are also used to treat the head and neck, assessment of the patient by the maxillofacial prosthodontist may prove to identify factors that may predispose to undesirable sequelae. Preventive treatment by elective tooth extraction, prosthodontic assessment, and patient education prove to assist in predictable management of these oftentimes complex presenting conditions. Facial defects arising from similar circumstances can be an alternative or adjunct to plastic surgical reconstruction and offer the added advantage of tumor surveillance in susceptible patients.

Surgical management of rhinocerebral mucormycosis: A case series.

Project description:Rhinocerebral mucormycosis (RCM) is a rare and rapidly progressive, destructive, angioinvasive fungal infection, which primarily affects immunocompromised patients. A high suspicion is required to diagnose RCM as initial clinical manifestations are often nonspecific. A cornerstone of the management is early diagnosis and radical surgery, which often requires complex reconstructive procedures. The optimal timing of reconstructive surgery is controversial. This case series presents the reconstructive perspective on four RCM cases treated with aggressive debridement, targeted antifungal treatment, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy followed by an early local flap or microsurgical reconstruction - to enable adequate local blood perfusion, antifungal treatment, and to decrease the risk of secondary infection. In all four patients, the early reconstructive surgery was successful without relapse of RCM or flap failure. We suggest aggressive surgical debridement till clear resection margins are obtained based on histopathology and/or microbiology, at a point which reconstructive surgery can be performed safely.

Case series of rhinocerebral mucormycosis occurring in diabetic patients.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Rhinocerebral mucormycosis is a fatal infection typically affecting diabetic or immunosuppressed patients. In most cases, infection is caused by inhalation of fungal spores. Mortality rate of patients is very high (40-85%). CASE PRESENTATION:In this study, three diabetic patients with rhinocerebral mucormycosis were presented. The etiologic agents of mucormycosis in two patients were isolated and identified by sequence analysis and data were registered in Gene bank database. CONCLUSION:In patients with mucoreosis, early detection, surgical excision and appropriate debridement, suitable antifungal therapy, and control of risk factors like diabetes mellitus are the main parameters of successful management of this lethal infection.

COVID-19-associated disseminated mucormycosis: An autopsy case report.

Project description:BackgroundReports of mucormycosis, an infectious disease that commonly affects immunocompromised individuals, have increased during the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Disseminated mucormycosis associated with COVID-19 is rare but fatal and is characterized by an aggressive clinical course and delayed diagnosis. Our report documents a case of disseminated mucormycosis after COVID-19 infection. This is a rare pathological autopsy report on COVID-19-associated mucormycosis.Case summaryA 58-year-old man was transferred to our hospital with severe COVID-19 pneumonia. During treatment for acute respiratory distress syndrome, he developed intra-abdominal bleeding that required a right hemicolectomy and ileostomy for hemostasis. The ileostoma and surgical wound developed necrosis followed by sepsis and multi-organ failure, which led to death. An autopsy revealed multiple thrombi associated with Rhizopus oryzae infection, which led to the necrosis of multiple infected organs.ConclusionEarly suspicion and diagnosis followed by treatment are keys to better outcomes of mucormycosis in patients with severe COVID-19.

COVID-19 associated with pulmonary mucormycosis; a case series.

Project description:IntroductionCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has evolved as a result of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2). With the rise of cases worldwide, plenty of potential COVID-19 complications have emerged, including increased susceptibility to subsequent bacterial and fungal infections. This study aims to report four cases of COVID-19 associated with pulmonary mucormycosis.MethodThis is a multi-center case series study. Diagnosis of COVID-19 was confirmed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction.ResultA total of 4 patients infected with SARS-CoV2 were involved in this study. The majority of the cases were female, aged >42 years old. All patients developed severe symptoms. All of the patients had received steroids, half of them had co-morbidities. The most common computerized tomography (CT) scan findings were pulmonary cavitation and empyema. All of the cases were treated with a combination of surgery and antifungal treatment.ConclusionAs the number of COVID-19 cases rises, enhanced surveillance for co-infections with unusual pathogens should be continued. Clinicians should raise awareness of these deadly infections, which can further aggravate severe COVID-19.
