Non-Surgical Management of Bilateral Adrenal Abscess in Neonates: Report of Two Cases.

ABSTRACT: Adrenal hemorrhage is not uncommon in neonates but the development of an adrenal abscess is extremely rare. Bilateral adrenal abscess is even rarer with less than ten cases documented in the medical literature. It may have a fatal outcome if inadequately treated. Here, we present two cases of neonates with history of obstructed labour and meconium aspiration who presented with bilateral adrenal abscesses. The abscesses were successfully treated using ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage along with administration of appropriate intravenous antibiotics.

Multicentre study of non-surgical management of diverticulitis with abscess formation.

Project description:This multicentre retrospective cohort study included 447 patients with Hinchey Ib and II diverticular abscesses, who were treated with antibiotics, with or without percutaneous drainage. Abscesses of 3 and 5 cm in size were at higher risk of short-term treatment failure and emergency surgery respectively. Initial non-surgical treatment of Hinchey Ib and II diverticular abscesses was comparable between patients treated with antibiotics only and those who underwent percutaneous drainage in combination with antibiotics, with regard to short- and long-term outcomes. Most do not need drainage.

Histiocytosis Presenting as Bilateral Adrenal Masses: A Case Report.

Project description:IntroductionAdrenal masses are a rare diagnosis in children, with bilateral masses even less common. At present, appearance of the mass on imaging and histology can give important clues to the diagnosis; however, there is significant overlap in 10-30% of cases and it can be difficult to distinguish benign from malignant adrenal masses. As a result, the clinical presentation remains a large part of the diagnostic process, as well as thorough endocrinology evaluation to determine if the tumor is functional versus nonfunctional.Case presentationWe present a recent case of bilateral adrenal masses in a pediatric patient at our institution, with an unusual diagnosis of histiocytosis.ConclusionIn this case, the diagnosis was unclear, until genetic testing and pathology allowed for expedient diagnosis and targeted therapy for this patient. We hope that presenting this case will increase physician awareness of this condition and expedite diagnosis and treatment in other patients with this rare presentation.

Tuberculous cold abscess of the chest wall: A clinical and surgical experience. Report of 16 cases(Case series).

Project description:Background:Tuberculosis is a public health problem in developing countries. Tuberculosis of the chest wall is rare and often presents as cold abscess (to differentiate from pyogenic abscess) or pseudotumoral mass whose diagnosis is difficult and often requires a surgical biopsy. Patients and methods:The medical series of 16 patients with cold chest wall abscess treated with surgery in association to anti-tubercular therapy were analysed retrospectively for the period of 7 years between January 2011 to December 2017 at Mohamed V Military Teaching Hospital - Rabat - Morocco. Results:The clinical examination provided a correct preoperative diagnosis of the abscess in all cases. Five patients had a past history of pulmonary tuberculosis and three patients had concomitant active infection. There were 6 cases on the left side, 9 cases on the right side and one case on the anterior chest wall. All patients underwent surgical drainage and debridement with specimens for bacteriology and histology. It was not necessary to resect ribs or sternum in all cases (sample costal or sternal curettage in one case each). Anti-tubercular treatment was routinely administered (6-9 months) with drug combinations of Isoniaside, Rifampicin, Pyrazinamide and Ethambutol. The evolution was favorable in all cases without complications or recurrences. Conclusion:Drainage of chest wall abscess and complete debridement provide adequate treatment. Post-operative anti-bacillary therapy should be combined with surgical procedures to minimize local complications and recurrence of infection.

Conservative Management of Invasive Placentation: Two Cases with Different Surgical Approaches.

Project description:Background When placenta accreta complicates a delivery, the typical management is to perform a cesarean hysterectomy. Other management strategies, including leaving the placenta in situ, have been attempted and supported in some cases. This may allow for an interval hysterectomy, which can potentially decrease average blood loss and/or allow a minimally invasive approach to the hysterectomy. Cases We present two cases of women with invasive placentation managed conservatively with interval hysterectomy. One woman was managed with robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery and the other with an open surgical approach. Conclusion These cases highlight the successful use of conservative management for invasive placentation in two stable patients and showcase the novel use of a robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery for management of invasive placentation.

Nonsurgical endodontic management of dens invaginatus: a report of two cases.

Project description:Dens invaginatus is a malformation affecting mainly the superior lateral incisors. It is defined as an infolding of the crown hard tissues, including the enamel and dentin, and can extend up to the root apex. Root canal treatment of this abnormality is considered difficult due to the complex anatomy presented by these teeth. This case series presents nonsurgical endodontic treatment in two cases of dens invaginatus (type II and III) in maxillary lateral incisors. This nonsurgical or conventional endodontic treatment results in healing of the periapical lesions associated with both cases, with no need for extra intervention e.g. surgical or invasive management. The manual instrumentation associated with sodium hypochlorite and calcium hydroxide were able to completely heal the lesions. Radiographic exams were carried out to control and asses the healing. Nonsurgical treatment was successful in both cases with adequate repair after a 6-year follow-up with radiographic and tomographic assessments.

Non-familial cherubism: A case report with its surgical management.

Project description:Cherubism is an autosomal-dominant inherited syndrome; it starts in early childhood and involutes by puberty. It is characterized by excessive bone degradation of the jaws and development of fibrous tissue masses. Non-familial cherubism is a rare entity, which needs to be documented. This paper describes the findings of non-familial cherubism. An 11-year-old male patient reported with bilateral swellings of the jaws and unerupted teeth. Extensive gingival overgrowth, cherubic facial appearance, multilocular osteolytic lesions in radiographs and family history lead to the diagnosis of non-familial cherubism. Treatment included full mouth excision of the gingival tissue by gingivectomy with both manual instrumentation and electrosurgery. Patient is being monitored and recalled for frequent follow-ups. Dental practitioners need to be alert with patients presenting with gingival overgrowth.

Surgical Management of Bilateral Osteoradionecrosis of the Mandible.

Project description:PurposeThe purpose of this study was to evaluate our 10 years clinical experience in surgical management of patients with bilateral osteoradionecrosis (BORN) of the mandible in head and neck malignancies patients.Materials and methodsThe authors reviewed 22 patients with bilateral mandibular bone mineral density changed in image who had failed to respond to conservative treatments. They were treated by radical resection and reconstruction with free flaps immediately or second-stage at our institution between January 2008 and January 2018.ResultsNine patients received immediate bilateral mandibular radical resection. Six bone flaps (4 fibula osteocutaneous [fibular OC], 1 fibular OC + pectoralis major myocutaneous flap [PMMF] and 1 fibular OC + anterolateral thigh flap [ALTF]) and 3 soft flaps (1 PMMF, 1 PMMF + titanium plate and 1 ALTF) were used. Three (33.3%) of these patients complications occurred in the immediate postoperative period, but all patients have an acceptable follow-up outcomes. In remaining 13 patients who only experienced immediate unilateral mandible resection for the first time. Complications occurred in 1 patient (7.7%), and all patients have a good outcome in the immediate postoperative period. In follow-up, 1 patient titanium plate exposed, and 6 patients (46.2%) contralateral mandible ORN developed that underwent radical resection in second time. Three fibular OC, 2 PMMF, and 1 latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap were used. The overall outcome of our experience with the use of bone or soft tissue transfers in managing BORN of mandible is encouraging.ConclusionsAn individualized management plan should be given for each patient depending on their own local and general condition. Radical resection followed by vascularized flaps reconstruction is an acceptable and reliable procedure for patients with BORN of the mandible.

Cushing´s syndrome due to bilateral adrenal cortical disease: Bilateral macronodular adrenal cortical disease and bilateral micronodular adrenal cortical disease.

Project description:Cushing´s syndrome (CS) secondary to bilateral adrenal cortical disease may be caused by bilateral macronodular adrenal cortical disease (BMACD) or by bilateral micronodular adrenal cortical disease (miBACD). The size of adrenal nodules is a key factor for the differentiation between these two entities (>1cm, BMACD and <1cm; miBACD). BMACD can be associated with overt CS, but more commonly it presents with autonomous cortisol secretion (ACS). Surgical treatment of BMACD presenting with CS or with ACS and associated cardiometabolic comorbidities should be the resection of the largest adrenal gland, since it leads to hypercortisolism remission in up to 95% of the cases. Medical treatment focused on the blockade of aberrant receptors may lead to hypercortisolism control, although cortisol response is frequently transient. miBACD is mainly divided in primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD) and isolated micronodular adrenocortical disease (i-MAD). miBACD can present at an early age, representing one of the main causes of CS at a young age. The high-dose dexamethasone suppression test can be useful in identifying a paradoxical increase in 24h-urinary free cortisol, that is a quite specific in PPNAD. Bilateral adrenalectomy is generally the treatment of choice in patients with overt CS in miBACD, but unilateral adrenalectomy could be considered in cases with asymmetric disease and mild hypercortisolism. This article will discuss the clinical presentation, genetic background, hormonal and imaging features and treatment of the main causes of primary bilateral adrenal hyperplasia associated with hypercortisolism.
