Severe complication of posterior nasal packing: Case Report.

ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: Severe Epistaxis is common in patients with head trauma, especially when associated with multiple fractures of the face and skull base. Several methods of controlling bleeding that can be imposed. The anterior nasal tapenade associated with posterior Foley catheter is one of the most widespread, and the universal availability of necessary materials or their apparent ease of execution. METHODS: Case report on control of severe epistaxis after severe TBI, with posterior nasal packing by Foley catheter and control tomography showing multiple fractures of the skull base and penetration of the probe into the brain parenchyma. CONCLUSION: This is a rare but possible complication in the treatment of severe nose bleeds associated with fracture of the skull base. This brief report highlights risks related to the method and suggests some care to prevent complications related through a brief literature review.

Descending colon fistula: Unusual complication of severe acute pancreatitis a case report.

Project description:IntroductionThe incidence of colonic complications from acute pancreatitis (AP) and severe AP are 3.3% and 15%, respectively. We report a case of descending colon fistula secondary to severe AP and its management.Case presentationWe report a case of a 35-year-old male hospitalized in our department for severe acute pancreatitis (grade E of Balthazar classification).Initially, the evolution was favorable under medical management. Two months later, he was readmitted for infection of the necrosis with a descending colon fistula. As we did not have the possibility of performing a CT scan drainage, our plan was to do surgical drainage under general anesthesia.ConclusionThe colonic involvement following AP or severe AP is rare and difficult to diagnoses. Conservative treatment when some conditions are available should be the best choice; it is associated with lower risk of morbidity and mortality.

'White cord syndrome', a rare but disastrous complication of transient paralysis after posterior cervical decompression for severe cervical spondylotic myelopathy and spinal stenosis: A case report.

Project description:Transient paralysis following spinal decompression surgery is a rare but devastating postoperative complication. Spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury has been identified as one of the crucial pathogenic factors contributing to the sudden neurological deterioration associated with spinal decompression surgery. 'White cord syndrome' is a characteristic imaging manifestation of spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury, referring to high intramedullary signal changes in the sagittal T2-weighted MRI scan with unexplained neurological deficits following surgical decompression. The present study reported on the case of a 51-year old male patient who suffered from acute left limb hemiplegic paralysis following posterior cervical laminectomy decompression for severe cervical spondylotic myelopathy and spinal stenosis, which were caused by ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament. The patient's neurological function gradually improved after the immediate administration of high-dose methylprednisolone therapy combined with mannitol and neurotrophic drugs. At the 2-month follow-up, the intensity of the spinal cord signal on MRI had almost returned to normal and the 'white cord syndrome' had disappeared. However, the patient complained of postoperative neck swelling pain caused by cerebrospinal fluid leakage; therefore, an additional cerebrospinal fluid leakage exploration and neoplasty were performed. At 2 weeks after the second surgery, the patient's neck swelling pain was relieved and the area of cerebrospinal fluid leakage was significantly reduced. Despite the low incidence rate, surgeons should be aware of this complication, particularly when treating chronic severe cervical spinal stenosis with anterior or posterior decompression. Once transient paralysis occurs, early diagnosis and interventions are essential to reverse the neurological deficit.

Case of maxillary actinomycotic osteomyelitis, a rare post COVID complication-case report.

Project description:Introductionand Importance: Maxillary actinomycosis is a persistent, very rare disease produced by Actinomyces species which may include only soft tissue or bone or the two together. Actinomycotic osteomyelitis of maxilla is very infrequent when compared to mandible.Case presentationHere we are conferring a case of an elderly male patient who had history of COVID-19 infection 4 months ago, with constant complaint of non-remitting vague pain in the region of maxilla with tooth loosening and extractions. He was given a provisional diagnosis of chronic osteomyelitis of maxilla which was later on proved by histopathology as actinomycotic osteomyelitis.Clinical discussionA saprophytic fungus causes mucor mycosis, and it is quite unusual. Strawberry gingivitis is one of the signs and symptoms. Mucormycosis and post-covid oral maxillofacial problems can be improved with early diagnosis. Oral Mucormycosis should be suspected in individuals with weakened immune systems, uncontrolled diabetes or post-covid instances. Surgery and adequate antibiotic treatment are necessary to treat actinomycosis. Infection may return after a period of inactivity, so long-term follow-up is necessary.ConclusionWe conclude a positive causal association between COVID-19 and actinomycosis. Maxillary osteomyelitis, a very rare infection, and in our case, the causative organism was Actinomyces Patients who have been infected should be tested for Actinomycin, which may masquerade as a head and neck illness.

Cardiac complication after experimental human malaria infection: a case report.

Project description:A 20 year-old healthy female volunteer participated in a clinical Phase I and IIa safety and efficacy trial with candidate malaria vaccine PfLSA-3-rec adjuvanted with aluminium hydroxide. Eleven weeks after the third and last immunization she was experimentally infected by bites of Plasmodium falciparum-infected mosquitoes. When the thick blood smear became positive, at day 11, she was treated with artemether/lumefantrine according to protocol. On day 16 post-infection i.e. two days after completion of treatment, she woke up with retrosternal chest pain. She was diagnosed as acute coronary syndrome and treated accordingly. She recovered quickly and her follow-up was uneventful. Whether the event was related to the study procedures such as the preceding vaccinations, malaria infection or antimalarial drugs remains elusive. However, the relation in time with the experimental malaria infection and apparent absence of an underlying condition makes the infection the most probable trigger. This is in striking contrast, however, with the millions of malaria cases each year and the fact that such complication has never been reported in the literature. The rare occurrence of cardiac events with any of the preceding study procedures may even support a coincidental finding. Apart from acute coronary syndrome, myocarditis can be considered as a final diagnosis, but the true nature and patho-physiological explanation of the event remain unclear.

Subcutaneous hemangioma on nasal dorsum: a case report.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Hemangioma is a benign tumor made up of blood vessels and typically occurs as a slightly elevated purplish or reddish area of skin. Hemangioma is mostly found superficially; subcutaneous hemangioma in the nasal dorsum is rare. CASE PRESENTATION:In West Nusa Tenggara Regional Hospital, the authors found two cases of subcutaneous hemangioma in patients of very different ages. The first patient was a 2-year-old Sasak girl, and the other was a 40-year-old Sasak man. The pediatric patient was treated with an elliptical approach, whereas the adult patient was treated with lateral rhinotomy extended by an elliptical approach to remove the hemangioma and ligate the feeding arteries. After surgery, the adult patient was followed up for 5?months, whereas the pediatric patient was followed up for 3?months. The results for both patients were good, with minimal scar formation. CONCLUSION:Despite the limitations of technology and human resources in a remote area of Indonesia, the surgical approach used in these cases produced good outcomes for both patients.

Facial gel complication after dental injection: a case report.

Project description:Injectable gel is becoming increasingly popular for cosmetic reasons. The polyacrylamide gel (PAAG) is a permanent filler material used worldwide. In spite of the fact that the filler materials used today are considered quite safe, various complications have been reported in the literature. Hence PAAG use in the United States is not popular. As the area is very close to the dental field, a large complication potential is relatively considered following buccal dental injections. The aim of this article is to highlight a rare complication observed following a local anesthetic administration of a simple molar restoration in a healthy 33-year-old woman who had history of a filler augmentation in her cheek approximately 6 years ago.

Nasal paraganglioma: A case report and literature review.

Project description:INTRODUCTION: Paragangliomas are neuroendocrine tumors that most commonly originate in the adrenal gland, a type that is called pheochromocytoma; however, 5-10% of paragangliomas are extra-adrenal and may arise in any area between the neck and pelvic region along the sympathetic nervous system. Those located in the head and neck comprise 3% of extra-adrenal tumors, with the majority originating in the tympanic-jugular region and carotid body. OBJECTIVE: To present a rare case of nasal paraganglioma and review the literature. CASE REPORT: The patient was submitted to medial subtotal maxillectomy, and her clinical findings, diagnostic data, and treatment outcome were recorded. CONCLUSION: Paragangliomas are considered benign tumors, but they occasionally display a malignant character. The most important finding in this case was the need for total resection of the tumor to avoid recurrence.
