Early Surgery: Le Fort I Advancement in a 6-Year-Old Patient —A Therapeutic Approach Using a Modified Le Fort I Osteotomy
AbstractOrthognathic surgery in young patients before completion of skeletal growth is still sharply discussed today. In the following case report of a 6-year-old patient, however, there was a vital indication for treatment. The main clinical symptoms were characterized by impaired hearing as a result of constantly recurring seromucotympanum and adenoids, persistent rhinorrhea and otorrhea, chronic tonsillitis and chronic otitis media. ENT interventions such as the partial C-tonsillectomy, paracentesis with tympanic drainage, adenotomy and tube dilation with balloon catheter did not bring lasting success. Despite antibioti...

Lunch Box Penetrating Injury in the Craniofacial Region Impedes the Primary Airway Management and Surgical Intervention
AbstractPenetrating Cranio-Maxillofacial trauma obscuring the clear view of the face in addition to an impediment to emergency airway management has been a rare occurrence in the archives of emergency trauma. A four-year-old girl reported to the emergency following a lunch box sharp rim penetrating wound to her left supraorbital region, limiting the access and clear view of her face. CT scan ruled out the serious orbital injury, but clearly revealed the piercing of the brain matter in the frontal region. The toddler ’s golden hour of primary management was spent in the darkness with the lunch box covering her entire face...

Maxillary Leiomyosarcoma with Lymph Node Metastasis: Report of an Unusual Case
AbstractLeiomyosarcoma is an unusual, malignant, mesenchymal neoplasm that is extremely rare in head and neck region. It clinically presents as a well-defined, painless mass which could easily be misdiagnosed as a benign lesion, posing a diagnostic challenge to the clinician. Head and neck leiomyosarcomas are very aggressive and have a poor prognosis. Hence, early diagnosis plays a vital role in its appropriate management.

Recurrence Patterns of Odontogenic Keratocysts in Syndromic and Non-Syndromic Patients
ConclusionWe found a higher recurrence rate in patients with NBCCS compared with patients with non-syndromic OKCs (21.4 versus 15.8%). The probability of developing a second primary OKC in patients with NBCCS was higher compared with that in patients with non-syndromic OKCs (76.9 versus 0%). No statistically significant risk factors for OKC recurrence were identified. (Source: Journal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery)

Synchronous Aberration of the Jugular and Carotid —a Case Report
AbstractVascular aberrations in the head and neck region pose a grave diagnostic and a surgical challenge. Numerous reports in the literature have highlighted the incidence and the lethality associated with carotid or jugular anomalies signifying the need for awareness and preparedness by the clinicians while treating patients. Our paper reports a peculiar case showing asymptomatic double vessel aberration in relation to the internal jugular vein as an ectasia and carotid kinking in the same patient diagnosed with oral carcinoma. In addition, carotid kissing was also noted at the pharyngeal level. (Source: Journal of Maxil...
