purpose: to present a case of orbital granular cell tumor, a rare orbital tumor. case report: a 55-year-old woman presented with binocular diplopia and right ocular displacement. the problem had initiated 3 years ago. a firm nontender mass at the region of the right lower lid was visible. orbital ct-scan disclosed a well-defined mass in the inferior right orbit with involvement of the inferior ...

Introduction: Treatment of edentulous atrophic mandible with severe atrophy is a challenge based on local conditions and systemic diseases confronted by the age group affected. If bone grafting is indicated, it is often used in lateral or inferior aspects of the mandible.  Case Report: A 70-year-old male with a unilateral fracture of the atrophied left mandibular body was managed by lingual bon...

Controversy exists in the literature as to the precise anatomical location of the lateral canthal ligament. The ligament is a 3 mm-wide, two-tailed band; its average length is approximately 13 mm, while the width of the rima palpebralis is about 26 mm. The authors evaluated three different groups to pinpoint the anatomical position of the ligament's attachment to the lateral orbital wall, and t...

Reverse Segond fracture is an uncommon avulsion fracture of the tibial attachment of the deep portion of the medial collateral ligament of the knee. We report a reverse Segond fracture associated with anterior cruciate ligament tibial avulsion fracture and anteromedial tibial rim fracture. Unlike previous reports, the combination of reverse Segond fracture, anteromedial tibial rim fracture, and...

Short-term femoral neck fracture is a primary complication associated with contemporary hip resurfacing. Some fractures are associated with neck notching, while others occur in the absence of notching. These unexplained fractures may be due to large magnitude strains near the implant rim, which could cause bone damage accumulation and eventual neck fracture. We used statistically augmented fini...

PURPOSE To present a previously unreported avulsion-type injury of the rectus muscle, usually the inferior rectus, and detail its diagnosis and operative repair. METHODS Thirty-five patients underwent repair of flap tears of 42 rectus muscles. The muscle abnormality was often subtle, with narrowing or thinning of the remaining attached global layer of muscle. The detached flap of external (or...

background: given the dearth of data in the existing literature on the size and morphologic variability of secundum-type atrial-septal defect (asd-ii) in adult patients, we aimed to address this issue in a series of consecutive adult patients evaluated by transesophageal echocardiography (tee). methods: a total of 50 patients (68.0% female) with isolated asd-ii underwent tee for the evaluation ...
