The incidence of esophageal impacted denture is proportionately increasing as there is increasing number of people wearing denture in current days. Impacted denture has to be removed as soon as possible because the delay can lead to complications. The successful removal of impacted denture in the esophagus in a patient is reported, with a review of the literature. A 52-year-old Malay lady complained of dysphagia with no history of foreign body ingestion. Following unsuccessful attempts of removal via a rigid esophagoscope, open surgery was performed. Without further delay, the impacted denture was removed by cervical esophagotomy, and the patient recovered uneventfully. Esophageal foreign bodies are usually removed by endoscopy. However, in situations where this appears potentially hazardous, such as with impacted denture, open surgical extraction that is promptly performed is a safer option.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 05 No. 03 July’21 Page: 362-365

Currently, undiagnosed insulinomas remain a difficult clinical dilemma because its symptoms in most cases can easily be misdiagnosed as other diseases. In this article, we present the case of a 14-year-old girl who presented to our hospital with recurrent episodes of excessive daytime sleepiness and abnormal behavior during sleep that had been going on for 3 months. Insulinoma is a rare neuroendocrine tumor that causes excessive release of insulin, resulting in episodes of hypoglycemia. It usually manifests as autonomic sympathetic symptoms. These symptoms resolved rapidly with the administration of glucose. After successful removal of the tumor, daytime sleepiness and abnormal nighttime behavior of the patient did not reappear.

We report a case of a 90-year-old patient with intractable posterior epistaxis presenting as the only symptom of a nontraumatic low-flow carotid-cavernous sinus fistula. Purpose of this case report is to introduce low-flow carotid-cavernous sinus fistula in the differential diagnosis of intractable posterior epistaxis. We provide a literature review for the sequence of actions for the confrontation of posterior epistaxis. We also emphasize the significance of the radiological diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in the management of posterior epistaxis due to pathology of the cavernous sinus. The gold-standard diagnostic procedure of carotid-cavernous sinus fistula is digital subtraction angiography (DSA). DSA with coils is also the state-of-the-art therapy. By failure of DSA, neurosurgery or stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) may be used as alternatives. SRS may also be used as enhancement procedure of the DSA. Considering the prognosis of a successfully closed carotid-cavernous sinus fistula, recanalization occurs only in a minority of patients. Close follow-up is advised.
