Echinococcal cysts are unusual in Canada, and most cases seen are in immigrants. In northern Canadian communities,Echinococcus granulosisinfection occasionally is acquired from dogs that feed on the entrails of caribou or moose. Seventeen patients with Canadian-acquired hydatid cysts were seen over an 11-year period. One challenging case is described in detail. An 18-year-old aboriginal woman presented with jaundice, pain, lower extremity edema and coagulopathy from a 26 cm echinococcal hepatic cyst. She was successfully treated with a combination of oral albendazole, percutaneous drainage and surgery. One-year follow-up showed no recurrence of disease. The management options for echinococcal cysts are extensively reviewed.

Corneal Tomography

Purpose: Ocular features of Alport syndrome include anterior lenticonus, posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy, and fleck-and-dot retinopathy in most cases. Keratoconus in such patients has been rarely mentioned in previous studies. To our knowledge, this is the first report of corneal cross-linking for halting the progression of keratoconus in a patient with Alport syndrome. Case report: A 22-year-old male was referred for his initial corneal topography, after he was already prescribed with rigid gas-permeable contact lenses. Alport syndrome was diagnosed in his infancy and gene COL4A5 mutation was confirmed. Ophthalmological evaluation confirmed keratoconus. One-year follow-up showed a progression on his right eye and standard corneal cross-linking was performed. Stabilization of the disease marked by normalization in visual function and corneal tomography values was noticed 1 year after the procedure. Conclusions: When diagnosing ocular clinical findings of Alport syndrome, keratoconus should be considered. Standard corneal cross-linking protocol can halt its progression.

Introduction: The gingival melanin hyperpigmentation (GMH) is resulted from an abnormal deposition of melanin, but it is not a pathology. However, GMH is an esthetic problem for some people. Some alternatives of treatment for this situation exist. The epithelial abrasion has been an interesting alternative because it has a satisfactory esthetic outcome, is a fast procedure, of easy execution, and low cost. Recently, tips adapted in ultrasound (CVDentus) can bean alternative approach. Objective: To report a clinical case of GMH treated by the technique of the epithelial abrasion with association of instrument adapted in ultrasound. Case report: Patient aged 28 years, melanoderm, sought treatment due to esthetic dissatisfaction because of intense dark color in the maxillary gingiva. The GMH removal was proposed through the technique of the epithelialabrasion CVD bur. Conclusion: The technique of epithelial abrasion using CVD bur was effective in removing GMH at one-year follow-up showing to be easy and safe technique.

(1) Background: Oronasal communication is described in the scientific literature as a common complication that occurs after a cleft palate surgery. In some cases, it can also be a consequence of oral surgery procedures; the main problem of this type of rare accident is related to the correct healing process and treatment option. (2) Case report: A patient with oronasal communication caused by an unsuccessful attempt of a superior canine odontectomy presented at the Emergency Department of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Hospital, Timișoara. The case management is described from the first consult to one-year follow-up. We consider that this pathology was optimally treated surgically, and the results are more than satisfactory, taking into consideration the high rates of recurrence. (3) Conclusion: This case report can be a useful to a general dentist who is trying to decide whether to perform the canine odontectomy or refer to a specialist surgeon due to the accidents and complications of this procedure.

Mūsų tyrimo tikslas – įvertinti vienos iš ūminio pankreatito komplikacijų – kasos pseudocistos – gydymo perkutaniniu drenavimu ankstyvuosius ir vienerių metų rezultatus Klaipėdos jūrininkų ligoninėje. Ligoniai ir metodai 1998–2003 metais nuo kasos pseudocistų gydyti 23 ligoniai – 15 (65%) vyrų ir 8 (35%) moterys. Visiems pacientams kasos pseudocistos susidarė persirgus ūminiu nekroziniu pankreatitu. Ligos istorijų retrospektyviosios analizės būdu įvertinti ligonių demografiniai duomenys, ligos trukmė, kasos pseudocistų morfologiniai ypatumai. Gydymo rezultatai vertinti apklausos ir sonoskopijos būdais. Rezultatai Iš viso drenuotos 29-ios kasos pseudocistos. Vienam ligoniui drenuotos trys kasos pseudocistos. Trims ligoniams padaryta po dvi perkutaninio drenavimo operacijas. Dažniausia kasos pseudocistų lokalizacija – kasos galva. Vidutinis drenavimo laikas – 21 para. Pasitaikė 3 komplikacijos (10%). Vienam ligoniui buvo pažeista skersinė gaubtinė žarna. Dviem ligoniams drenas iškrito iš pseudocistos ertmės – vienam tai įvyko antrąją, kitam – 12-ą drenavimo parą. Visi ligoniai pasveiko. Praėjus vieneriems metams visi 12 ligonių nusiskundimų neturėjo. Echoskopiškai atsinaujinusių kasos pseudocistų nerasta. Išvados Perkutaninis drenavimas – tinkamas būdas gydant pacientus, kuriems ūminis nekrozinis pankreatitas komplikavosi progresuojančiomis kasos pseudocistomis. Tai – saugi, veiksminga, patikima ir pigi minimaliai invazyvi gydomoji operacija.

The aim of our study was to evaluate early and one-year follow-up results of sonoscopically-guided percutaneous drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts in Klaipėda Seamen’s Hospital. Patients and methods From 1998 to 2003, 23 patients – 15 (65%) male and 8 (35%) female – were treated for pancreatic pseudocysts which have developed due to acute necrotic pancreatitis. A retrospective analysis of case histories, laboratory and instrumental examination data, morphologic peculiarities of pancreatic pseudocysts was done. Twelve study patients were interrogated using standard questionnaires and examined by ultrasound following one year after sonoscopically-guided percutaneous drainage procedure. Results We have performed 29 percutaneous drainage procedures of pancreatic pseudocysts under ultrasound control. Three pancreatic pseudocysts were drained in one patient. The percutaneous drainage procedure was done twice in three patients. Pancreatic pseudocysts involved the head of pancreas in the majority of patients. Mean drainage time was 21 days. Symptoms subsided in all the patients. Complications occurred in three patients (10%). The transverse colon has been damaged in one patients. Drainage tubes prolapsed out completely from the cavity of the pancreatic pseudocyst in two patients. The follow up showed that all patients felt well and there were no recurrencies of pancreatic pseudocysts. Conclusions Sonoscopically-guided percutaneous drainage is a suitable treatment of acute necrotizing pancreatitis complicated by progressive pancreatic pseudocysts. It is a safe, effective and cheap minimally invasive procedure. Keywords: acute necrotizing pancreatitis, pancreatic pseudocysts, percutaneous drainage

Osteoma is a benign, slowly growing, asymptomatic, bone-forming tumor arising from cancellous or compact bone. Osteoma usually is a solitary lesion, but in patients with Gardner’s Syndrome it may be multiple. osteoma may rarely have a parosteal localization. Parosteal osteoma has peculiar radiographic, histologic and clinical features. We describe a case report of a 51- years old man with a bifocal parosteal osteoma of the femur in a non-syndromic patient. This is the first described patient with a bifocal lesion. In literature only 24 cases of paraosteal osteoma are found. Our patient underwent surgery and the lesions were fully excised. At one year follow-up there was no evidence of recurrence.

Lung Hydatid

The lung is the second most commonly involved organ in humans by hydatid disease. Management of large pulmonary hydatid cysts is a great challenge for thoracic surgeons. Lung resections should be considered the last choice for huge pulmonary hydatid cysts when the lung expansion is not optimal after cyst removal. Here, we present a case of huge lung hydatid cyst involving the entire right lower lobe which was successfully managed by lung-preserving surgery in which the postoperative course showed gradual resolution of the involved lobe during a one-year follow-up.
