We present a case of a 35-year-old active rugby player presenting with a history of recurrent burner syndrome thought secondary to an osteoblastoma involving the posterior arch of the atlas. Radiographically, the lesion had features typical for a large osteoid osteoma or osteoblastoma, including osseous expansion, peripheral sclerosis and bony hypertrophy, internal lucency, and even suggestion ...

The decrease in tissue hypoxia obtained with Hyperbaric Oxygenation (HBO2)counteracts the effects of reflex vasomotor disturbances caused by an injury in posttraumatic Sudeck's syndrome. In reflex sympathetic dystrophy, after an initial vasospasm, a loss of vascular tone with persistent vasodilatation. Causes increased osseous vascularity and rapid bone resorption. Chronic edema results from ve...

RESULTS: Nine of the 10 arms were male. The APL tendon had a mean of 3.3 ± 1.3 slips. The EPB tendon had one slip in all specimens. Seven compartments (70%) had an identifiable EPB subcompartment and four (57%) were thick. An osseous ridge was seen in 2 specimens, both with a thick subcompartment. The two arms with osseous ridges revealed radiopaque ridges on x-ray. Radiologists’ x-ray reviews ...

Osseous sarcoidosis is relatively uncommon, and treatment with corticosteroids is not always effective. Moreover, patients with an advanced stage of pulmonary sarcoidosis are sometimes infected with aspergillus in the cavities of the pulmonary lesions, and long-term use of corticosteroids should be prohibited to prevent the development of fatal invasive pulmonary aspergillosis. Here, we describ...

Accepted 19 November 2017 DesCripTion A 3-year-old boy presented with global developmental delay, abnormal craniofacial growth and left focal seizures since infancy. He was the first child of a non-consanguineous couple with unremarkable perinatal period. Family history was non-contributory. On examination, he had macrocephaly (head circumference 55 cm, >3 z-score), extensive port-wine stain di...

Sarcoidosis is a multifocal, immune mediated, chronic inflammatory systemic disease of unknown etiology [1,2]. The overall prevalence of sarcoidosis is 10-40 cases per 100,000 populations. Females affected more often than males. Age of onset is usually during early adulthood [3]. Accurate diagnosis often requires pathologic examination. However, in recent years FDG positron emission tomography ...

We describe a case of hemitrophy in a 12-year-old child presenting with seizures, hemiplegia and mental retardation. Hemiatrophy of one cerebral hemisphere is not frequently encountered in clinical practice. When this develops early in life (during the first two years), certain cranial changes like ipsilateral hypertrophy of the skull and sinuses occur. Asymmetry of cerebral hemispheric growth ...

Introduction: Dentigerous cysts (DCs) are the most common developmental cysts of the jaws, mostly associated with impacted third molars and canines. Multiple or bilateral DCs are rare and typically occur in association with some syndromes including cleidocranial dysplasia and Gorlin-Goltz. The occurrence of multiple DCs is rare in the absence of these syndromes. Case Presentation: A 28-year-ol...

Central ossifying fibroma is a rare, benign fibro-osseous lesion that arises from the periodontal ligament. Periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia is another variant of fibro-osseous lesion which occurs in the anterior region of the mandible of females. Odontoma is a benign odontogenic tumor that contains enamel, dentine cement and pulp tissue. A 46-year-old woman was referred to the Department o...

We report a case of a 69-year-old man with dropped head syndrome associated with isolated neck extensor myopathy (INEM). Over a period of 2 years, he exhibited progressive inability to lift his chin off his chest, resulting in the dropped head position that impaired his activities of daily living. He had a disturbed gait with severe imbalance of spinal alignment. Computed tomography revealed os...
