Superolateral dislocation of the mandibular condyle: report of a case with review of literature and a proposed modification in the classification.

ABSTRACT: Anteromedial fracture dislocation of the mandibular condyle is common but a superolateral dislocation of an intact condyle is quite rare. Only ~19 cases of such dislocation have been reported in the world English literature. This type of dislocation is often misdiagnosed or completely overlooked and hence inadequately addressed. A case of superolateral dislocation of the condyle associated with a symphyseal fracture is presented. We discuss the dynamics, diagnostic features and clinical management of such dislocations with the review of literature and propose a modification in the existing classification.

The Trapezium Dislocation: Case Presentation, Review of the Literature, Radiographic Analysis, Proposed Classification, and Treatment.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Trapezium dislocations are rare injuries. METHODS:A PubMed search of the term "trapezium dislocation" was conducted. Publications reporting a complete trapezium dislocation were included in the review. RESULTS:The PubMed search resulted in 168 results. Fourteen publications reporting on 16 complete trapezium dislocations met inclusion criteria. A case of delayed diagnosis of a trapezium dislocation is presented. The literature is reviewed for pertinent clinically relevant information with respect to trapezium dislocations. A systematic method for radiographic analysis of trapezium dislocations and classification are described, and a treatment algorithm is presented. CONCLUSIONS:Trapezium dislocations are infrequent injuries with few cases reported in the literature. Given the rarity of this injury, diagnosis and appropriate treatment may be delayed due to difficulty in recognition. Using the described method of radiographic analysis, delayed diagnosis may be avoided with implementation of timely treatment.

Superior Dislocation of the Mandibular Condyle into the Middle Cranial Fossa: A Comprehensive Review of the Literature.

Project description:The superior dislocation of the condyle into the cranium occasionally requires invasive procedures due to the absence of a timely diagnosis. This review analyzed the available clinical data to provide information on treatment decisions. The reports were assessed using electronic medical databases from inception to 31 October 2022. A total of 116 cases from 104 studies were assessed; among the patients, 60% and 87.5% of the affected women and men required open reduction, respectively. The ratio of closed to open procedures within 7 days after injury was maintained; however, closed reduction decreased over time, and all cases required open reduction after 22 days. Eighty percent of the patients with a total intrusion of the condyle required open reduction, whereas the frequency for both procedures was comparable in the remaining patients. Open reduction was significantly more frequently performed for men (p = 0.026, odds ratio; 4.959, 95% confidence interval; 1.208-20.365) and less frequently performed in cases with partial intrusion (p = 0.011; odds ratio: 0.186; 95% confidence interval: 0.051-0.684); the frequency varied according to the time until treatment (p = 0.027, odds ratio; 1.124, 95% confidence interval; 1.013-1.246). Appropriate diagnostic imaging and prompt diagnosis are indispensable for minimally invasive treatment of this condition.

Treatment and molecular analysis of bullous pemphigoid with tofacitinib: a case report and review of current literature

Project description:Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a rare, life-threatening autoimmune blistering disease with pruritus and tension blisters/bullous as the main clinical manifestations. Glucocorticosteroids are the main therapeutic agents for it, but their efficacy is poor in some patients. Tofacitinib, a small molecule agent that inhibits JAK1/3, has shown incredible efficacy in a wide range of autoimmune diseases and maybe a new valuable treatment option for refractory BP. To report a case of refractory BP successfully treated with tofacitinib, then explore the underlying mechanism behind the treatment, and finally review similarities to other cases reported in the literature. Case report and literature review of published cases of successful BP treatment with JAK inhibitors. The case report describes a 73-year-old male with refractory BP that was successfully managed with the combination therapy of tofacitinib and low-dose glucocorticoids for 28 weeks. Immunohistochemistry and RNA sequencing were performed to analyze the underlying mechanism of tofacitinib therapy. A systematic literature search was conducted to identify other cases of treatment with JAK inhibitors. Throughout the 28-week treatment period, the patient experienced clinical, autoantibody and histologic resolution. Immunohistochemical analysis showed tofacitinib significantly decreased the pSTAT3 and pSTAT6 levels in the skin lesions of this patient. RNA sequencing and immunohistochemical testing of lesion samples from other BP patients identified activation of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. Literature review revealed 17 previously reported cases of BP treated with four kinds of JAK inhibitors successfully, including tofacitinib (10), baricitinib (1), upadacitinib (3) and abrocitinib (3). Our findings support the potential of tofacitinib as a safe and effective treatment option for BP. Larger studies are underway to better understand this efficacy and safety.

Superolateral Dislocation of the Mandibular Condyle: A Series of Seven Cases.

Project description:IntroductionAnterior and anteromedial dislocations of the mandibular condyle are seen frequently in mandibular fractures. Less frequent are dislocations of the condylar head in the lateral, medial and posterior direction whereas superior dislocation into the middle cranial fossa is rare. We report a series of seven cases encountered over the years, which, incidentally, is the largest case series reported till date with lateral and superolateral dislocation of the condyle after a traumatic injury.Materials and methodIn all cases but one, the condyle was reduced by manual manipulation with the patient in general anaesthesia. In all cases but one there was simultaneous fracture in the mandibular symphyseal region. The associated fractures were reduced and fixed with bone plates and screws.ResultsPatients were generally free from any long term complications of injury or surgery except for facial nerve paresis of a transient nature in one case.ConclusionTo our knowledge, this clinical series presents the first reported case of superolateral dislocation which required open reduction. The etiology and mechanism of dislocation has been discussed along with a brief review of the literature.

Analysis of patterns and treatment strategies for mandibular condyle fractures: review of 175 condyle fractures with review of literature.

Project description:This study aims to evaluate incidence, patterns and epidemiology of mandibular condylar fractures (MCF) to propose a treatment strategy for managing MCF and analyze the factors which influence the outcome. One hundred and seventy-five MCF's were evaluated over a four year period and their pattern was recorded in terms of displacement, level of fracture, age of incidence and dental occlusion. Of the 2,718 facial bone fractures, MCF incidence was the third most common at 18.39 %. Of 175 MCF 58.8 % were unilateral and 41.12 % were bilateral. 67 % of bilateral fractures and 43.8 % of unilateral fractures were associated with midline symphysis and contralateral parasymphysis fractures respectively. Most of the MCF was seen in the age group of above 16 years and 50 % of them were at subcondylar level (below the neck of the condyle). Majority of MCF sustained due to inter personal violence were undisplaced (72.7 %) and contrary to this majority of MCF sustained during road traffic accident were displaced. 62.9 % of total fractures required open reduction and rigid fixation and 37.1 % were managed with closed reduction. 80 % of MCF managed with closed reduction were in the age group of below 16 years. From this study it can be concluded that the treatment algorithm proposed for managing MCF is reliable and easy to adopt. We observed that absolute indication for open reduction of MCF is inability to achieve satisfactory occlusion by closed method and absolute contraindication for open reduction is condylar head fracture irrespective of the age of the patient.

Rare improperly treated traumatic vertical atlantoaxial dislocation: A case report and literature review.

Project description:BackgroundBecause of the severity and fatal outcome of traumatic vertical atlantoaxial dislocation (AAD), most patients may die in the early post-traumatic period. The post-injury management of patients with vertical AAD has been rarely reported. Improper treatment may lead to disastrous outcome and further aggravate the neurologic symptoms.Case presentationThis report describes the perioperative management and outcome of a rare improperly treated patient with traumatic vertical AAD. The severe pulmonary infection of this patient prevented further surgery for vertical AAD. After placement of a halo vest, combined with effective antibiotic drug treatment, the patient's pulmonary infection was brought under control. The patient underwent atlantoaxial fusion using C1 lateral mass screws and C2 pedicle screws with the assistance of the halo vest. A computed tomography scan at 1 year follow-up indicated that the bone graft was fused and the patient was able to walk independently.ConclusionSkull traction is contraindicated in patients with traumatic vertical AAD. Application of a halo vest can be used for temporary fixation of the cervical spine and atlantoaxial fixation should be performed to maintain the stability of atlantoaxial articulation.
