Wolff –Parkinson–White syndrome: Review of published cases associated with head and neck/oral and maxillofacial procedures
ConclusionsPractitioners should be familiar with the clinical features of WPWS and be prepared to manage emergent cardiovascular deterioration. Electrocardiogram monitoring of this cohort is advised during head and neck/oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures, particularly involving general anaesthesia. Breakthrough episodes of WPWS may still occur in patients who have previously undergone cardioconversion. (Source: Oral Surgery)

Maxillofacial injuries due to animal attacks: A case series
AbstractAnimal attack injuries are frequently seen in trauma centres. Animal attacks have grown recently as a result of human expansion into the wild and reduced forest cover. As a result, wild animals and humans must occupy the same habitat, and there is an increase in wild animal –human interaction. Animal attack injuries to the face can result in functional, cosmetic and structural deficits. The head and neck are the third most commonly affected areas, followed by the upper and lower limbs. Because of the animal microflora, there is a greater risk of infections. The major ity of maxillofacial fractures caused by anima...

The clinical utility of steroids in facial trauma: A retrospective study of 638 patients
AbstractGlucocorticosteroids reduce post-operative swelling, trismus and pain after third molar extraction, maxillofacial trauma and orthognathic surgery. Steroids may affect immune system and retard wound healing. However, use of steroids may or may not lead to infection. Patients were divided into two Groups based on steroid therapy. The minimum follow up was for 6 months. Independent t test and Chi-Square statistics were used for quantitative and categorical data respectively. A p value<0.05 was considered significant at 95% confidence interval. A total of 638 patient records were divided into two groups; Group A (st...

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma with metaplastic bone formation – A deceptive radiological presentation
AbstractMucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is one of the most common primary salivary gland malignancies in both children and adults. MECs containing calcifications are rare, but well described in the literature. In contrast, there are only two case reports of MECs showing intra-tumoral bone formation. MECs associated with calcifications occur more frequently in minor salivary glands, compared to bone formation, which is more commonly seen in major glands. This possibly points to a different pathogenic mechanism. Calcifications of the head and neck region are generally diagnosed on conventional imaging by combining the anatomi...

Dimensional and anthropometric correlation analyses of buccal fat pad and patient ’s personal satisfaction after buccal fat pad excision
ConclusionsThe weight and volume of the buccal fat pad showed no significant correlation with the anthropometric variables of weight, height, and BMI. There were no significant differences in the facial measurements analyzed after buccal fat pad excision. The patient satisfaction questionnaire showed that surgical indication was generally motivated by aesthetic factors of individual perception and obtaining results consistent with personal expectations. The frequency of complications arising from buccal fat pad excision included patient discomfort. (Source: Oral Surgery)

Surgical treatment of multiple impacted supernumerary teeth in a cleidocranial dysplasia patient
AbstractTo report a case of cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) with 15 supernumerary teeth and review the relevant literature. Diagnose and treat a CCD patient with 15 impacted supernumerary teeth in the maxilla and mandible. When CCD is accompanied by supernumerary teeth ambushed in the jaw and does not affect the health of the body, it can be regarded as a part of normal bone tissue. If X-ray or computed tomography examination shows that supernumerary teeth affect permanent tooth eruption, the replacement process of adjacent teeth and permanent tooth eruption should be closely observed, and supernumerary teeth should be ext...
