2/150. Successful treatment of a hepatic abscess that formed secondary to fish bone penetration by percutaneous transhepatic removal of the foreign body: report of a case.We describe herein the case of a hepatic abscess that developed secondary to fish bone penetration which was successfully treated without laparotomy. A 61-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a high fever that had persisted for 2 weeks in spite of medication. Abdominal ultrasonography (AUS) and computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen revealed a hepatic abscess with a linear calcified foreign body and gas. Percutaneous abscess drainage was performed under ultrasonographic guidance. After drainage, the patient became afebrile, and AUS and CT findings demonstrated that the abscess cavity had decreased in size, but still contained the foreign body. Under ultrasonographic guidance and fluoroscopy, we inserted endoscopic forceps into the sinus tract and succeeded in removing the foreign body from the liver. It was found to be a fish bone that was 2.8 cm long and 0.3 cm wide.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.2957460342865keywords = cavity (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/150. Hazard: denture clasps embedded in oral tissues--case reports.Three patients presented with their dentures stuck in their mouths due to a retainer clasp becoming embedded in either the anterior fauces or the soft palate. All three dentures were extricated successfully and the resulting puncture wounds were left to heal spontaneously with only antibiotics and analgesics. In all three cases, a sharp pointed molar clasp tip was found to be a common factor. The management and prevention of such cases are presented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mouth (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/150. Oral presentation of an oesophageal mucosal tear.tears of the oesophageal wall following sudden forceful vomiting are well documented in literature. In Boerhaave's syndrome there is transmural rupture associated with complications including pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, surgical emphysema and shock. In mallory-weiss syndrome mucosal tears are associated with haematemesis and shock. In neither of these conditions has intraluminal obstruction been described as an aetiological factor. We present a case with similar pathophysiology where oesophageal obstruction by a meat bolus followed by forceful vomiting led to an oesophageal mucosal tear and presentation of a band of oesophageal mucosa in the oral cavity. The patient did not develop any complications and made an uneventful recovery following conservative management.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6.8110128148233keywords = oral cavity, cavity (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/150. Unusual parotid gland foreign body.A foreign body in the parotid gland whether from the oral cavity or through the skin is extremely uncommon. A case is described of the tip of a golden-colored pencil accidentally piercing the deep lobe after a fall. Emergency surgical removal was performed, and the diagnosis of the foreign body was quite easy. In contrast, determination of the location in the gland had to be done by a microscope, with fluoroscopy during the operation and was quite difficult. During removal, great attention was paid to avoiding facial nerve injury. This was done by identifying the facial trunk at the pointer using a microscope. The dissolved material including copper and zinc metal powder, paste, and clay, was found in the deep lobe associated with the surrounding abscess. Although these materials are assumed to be harmless to human tissues, the complete and immediate removal is to prevent salivary fistule resulting from inflammation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6.8110128148233keywords = oral cavity, cavity (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/150. Complete dentures and the associated soft tissues.Some of the conditions of the soft tissues related to complete dentures encountered during a period of 25 years at a university clinic were presented and discussed from the standpoint of the clinical prosthodontist. During this time, over 1,000 denture patients were treated each year. For some conditions, a method of management was offered with treatment by sound prosthodontic principles rather than unneccessary medication. That denture fabrication involves much more than mere mechanical procedures is an understatement. Complete dentures are foreign objects in the oral cavity that are accepted and tolerated by the tissue to a degree that is surprising. As prosthodontists, we can gain satisfaction from the realization that the incidence of oral cancer due to dentures is less than extremely low. At the same time, we must be ever mindful of the statement by Sheppard and associates. "Complete dentures are not the innocuous devices we often think they are." Every dentist must remember that one of his greatest missions is to serve as a detection agency for cancer. The information discussed indicates (1) the need for careful examination of the mouth, (2) the value of a rest period of 8 hours every day for the supporting tissues, and (3) the importance of regular recall visits for denture patients. Robinson stated that while the dental laboratory technician can be trained to aid the dentist in the fabrication of prosthetic devices, his lack of knowledge of reactions and diseases of the oral tissues limits him to an auxiliary role. Complete prosthodontics is a highly specialized health service that greatly affects the health, welfare, and well-being of the patient. It can be rendered only by the true professional who is educated in the biomedical sciences.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 7.8110128148233keywords = oral cavity, cavity, mouth (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/150. Unusual fatal mechanisms in nonasphyxial autoerotic death.The diagnosis of autoerotic death is most often made when there has been accidental asphyxia from ropes or ligatures used by the deceased as a part of his or her autoerotic ritual. Three cases of probable autoerotic death are reported in which the mechanisms of death involved hyperthermia, sepsis, and hemorrhage, respectively. Case 1: A 46-year-old man was found dead in bushland clothed in a dress, female undergarments, and seven pairs of stockings/pantyhose. The underwear had been cut to enable exposure of the genitals. The recorded daily maximum temperature was 39 degrees C, and the deceased had been taking the drug benztropine. death was attributed to hyperthermia due to a combination of excessive clothing, high ambient temperature, and prescription drug side effect. Case 2: A 40-year-old man was found dead in his boarding house. At autopsy, a pencil was found within his abdominal cavity with perforation of the bladder and peritonitis. death was attributed to peritonitis/sepsis following intraurethral introduction of a pencil. Case 3: A 56-year-old man was found dead lying on his bed following massive rectal hemorrhage. A blood stained shoe horn was found nearby. death was attributed to hemorrhage following laceration of the anal canal with a shoe horn. The diagnosis of autoerotic death may be difficult when typical features are absent, however, any unusual injury associated with genitourinary manipulation must raise this possibility.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.2957460342865keywords = cavity (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/150. Complete intrusion of a maxillary right primary central incisor.This clinical article presents a rare presentation of complete intrusion of a maxillary right primary central incisor. Routine examination of a 29-month old female patient revealed an intrusion injury where the primary central incisor was displaced through the floor of the nasal cavity. The traumatic impaction was erroneously diagnosed as an avulsion injury by the attending emergency room physician and later discovered by the dental team during routine care. The injury was documented with radiographs. The intruded incisor was removed through the right naris utilizing general anesthesia to manage behavior and surgical access. This article emphasizes the importance of radiographs and demonstrates the need to involve the dental professional in initial assessment of dental trauma.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.2957460342865keywords = cavity (Clic here for more details about this article) |
