2/46. A bad eye and a sore lip.A 48-year-old woman developed painful visual loss in the left eye, meningismus, and painful oral ulcers. magnetic resonance imaging of the brain with gadolinium demonstrated enhancement of the left optic nerve. Lumbar puncture showed a lymphocytic pleocytosis, and a biopsy specimen of one of the oral ulcerations was consistent with Behcet's disease. epidemiologic factors and diagnostic criteria for Behcet's disease are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = oral ulcer, ulcer (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/46. Cinnamon-induced oral erythema multiformelike sensitivity reaction.BACKGROUND: erythema multiforme, or EM, is a hypersensitivity reaction to agents such as herpes virus, drugs or foods. Oral EM-like reactions may be induced by cinnamon. It is important for dentists to recognize this condition. CASE DESCRIPTION: The authors report an unusual case of cinnamon-induced oral EM-like reaction in an older female patient. The disease manifested itself as chronic extensive surface ulcerations and lip swelling. The patient was treated repeatedly with topical and systemic steroids but responded to them only temporarily. The patient was cured when the offending agent--cinnamon--was eliminated from her diet. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Oral EM or EM-like reactions pose a diagnostic dilemma due to their varied etiologies and clinical manifestations. Correct diagnosis is essential for effective treatment. A negative skin test does not rule out an allergic reaction to food.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.013065269853726keywords = ulcer (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/46. alendronate-related oral mucosa ulcerations.alendronate is widely used in the treatment of osteoporosis and other bone diseases. Although it is considered a well-tolerated drug, there are numerous reports of adverse effects on the mucosa in the upper aerodigestive tract, with oesophagitis as the most common complication. The strict regulations for the proper administration of the drug indicate that these side effects might well be the result of a direct, irritant mechanism on the upper aerodigestive tract. We present two clinical cases of patients who developed extensive palatal ulcers as a result of taking alendronate. We discuss possible mechanisms implicated in the production of the ulcers and some clinical factors of interest.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.078391619122357keywords = ulcer (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/46. A rare case of lip ulcer infected by klebsiella pneumoniae: case report.The aetiology of mouth ulcers is diverse and may include several types of trauma, systemic disease and infection. The size, depth, outline, base, aspect of the floor, pain, time of evolution and resolution of oral ulcers are discussed. Both past and present medical history, biopsy, blood tests and microbiological tests are also considered in order to assure precise identification. This paper reports a case of a lip ulcer caused by klebsiella pneumoniae.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.0888875125709keywords = oral ulcer, ulcer, mouth (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/46. erythema multiforme secondary to herpes simplex infection: a case report.BACKGROUND: erythema multiforme (EM) is a complex disease that may have cutaneous and/or mucosal involvement. The severity may range from mild to severe and potentially life threatening. The literature cites many factors including viruses, infections, and medications as causes. This report documents a patient who developed EM secondary to a herpes simplex viral (HSV) infection. methods: Two weeks following an eruption of herpes labialis, a 20-year-old white female patient developed acutely painful oral and labial ulcers accompanied by target skin lesions. A diagnosis of erythema multiforme (EM) was made. The patient was treated with antivirals, analgesics, and symptomatic therapy. RESULTS: Nine days after the onset of symptoms, the oral and cutaneous lesions had started to heal and the patient no longer required pain medication. CONCLUSIONS: Although the etiology of EM is still often unknown, infections with herpes simplex virus have been implicated as a possible precipitating factor. This case illustrates the association of the occurrence of EM with an HSV infection.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.013065269853726keywords = ulcer (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/46. Influence of galvanic phenomena on the occurrence of algic symptoms in the mouth.The presence of more than one dental alloy in the oral cavity often causes pathological galvanic currents and voltage. Due to various and multi-faceted symptomathology, they tend to be a source of significant problems not only for the patient but also for the attending dentist. Very discreet and uncharacteristically objective diagnosis during a regular examination frequently causes this state to be ascribed to a completely different illness.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.041983573794253keywords = mouth (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/46. Orofacial granulomatosis as initial manifestation of Crohn's disease: a report of two cases.patients with Crohn's disease generally present with chronic diarrhoea and/or abdominal pain. However, it may be the extraintestinal manifestations as orofacial granulomatosis (OFG)--a rare syndrome with chronic swelling of the lips and the lower half of the face combined with oral ulcerations and hyperplastic gingivitis--that urge patients to seek medical advice. We report two rare cases in which swelling of the lips and cheeks were the initial symptoms that finally led to the diagnosis of Crohn's disease.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = oral ulcer, ulcer (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/46. Labial tuberculosis: a unique cause of lip swelling complicating hiv infection.BACKGROUND: hiv disease has many oral manifestations including tuberculosis, which most commonly presents as irregular ulceration of the tongue or the palate. We detail an hiv-infected patient found to have tuberculosis of the lip. CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge tuberculosis of the lips has never been reported in conjunction with hiv infection, and in this case establishing the oral diagnosis resulted in the diagnosis of disseminated disease.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.013065269853726keywords = ulcer (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/46. Auricular composite graft for skin defect of the philtrum dimple.Our method of performing an auricular composite graft for a skin defect of the philtrum dimple in a patient whose lip is not damaged and has retained its original softness and elasticity is presented. After resecting the lesion, an auricular composite graft is harvested from the conchal region. The size of the graft is almost the same as the size of the resected lesion, although the cartilage is harvested in an elliptical shape, and its size is approximately 60% in area of the overriding skin of the graft. The graft is harvested from the site, which has a similar curvature to the defect. The cartilage is sutured tightly to the graft bed at a minimum of four points with 6-0 absorbable suture. The transversal axis of the harvested cartilage is sutured as vertically as possible so as to fit the direction of the wrinkle line of the upper lip. The skin is sutured to the defect margin using 5-0 nylon suture. The graft donor site is closed primarily. This method has been used for the closure of six comparatively large skin defects after resecting a skin lesion (pigmented nevus in three cases and hypertrophic scar in three cases) in the philtrum dimple in six patients. In all cases, the upper lip was not damaged and retained its original softness and elasticity. The "take" of the graft was complete in all patients, and the donor site healed without any problem. In all cases, postoperative shrinkage of the graft was not significant during the follow-up period, and the graft had a smooth surface. In addition, no patients suffered from a feeling of discomfort in moving the mouth, and an acceptable shape of the philtrum dimple was achieved in all cases. There were no deformational changes in the graft donor site. In conclusion, our method is valid in the patient whose lip is not damaged and has retained its original softness and elasticity and in whom a full-thickness skin graft is selected as the covering method for a skin defect of the philtrum dimple.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.010495893448563keywords = mouth (Clic here for more details about this article) |
