Herein, we describe a 46-year-old woman with persistent pain and weakness in her left ankle/foot one year after surgical repair of all three ankle extensor tendons following a penetrating injury. This report presents a unique case whereby US imaging played a paramount role in the diagnosis and surgical management of a previous nonanatomic repair of the ankle extensor tendons after a penetrating injury one year prior. The above-quoted findings were subsequently corrected with end-to-end sutures. On the third postoperative month follow-up, the patient was free of any complaints or complications.

Category: Midfoot/Forefoot Introduction/Purpose: Morton’s neuroma is a common condition affecting the foot and is associated with chronic pain and disability. Conservative management including a combination of orthotic input; injection or physiotherapy, and surgical excision are current treatment options. There is a paucity of literature regarding patient related outcome measures (PROMs) data in patients managed conservatively. We sought to compare conservative with surgical management of Morton’s neuroma using PROMs data in patients with follow-up to one year. Methods: Prospective data collection commenced from April 2016. Patients included had to have a confirmed Morton’s neuroma on ultrasound scan. Patient demographics including age, sex and BMI were collected. The primary outcome measures were the Manchester Foot Score for pain (MOX-FQ), EQ time trade off (TTO) and EQ visual analogue scale (VAS) taken pre-operatively; at 26-weeks and at 52-weeks post-operatively. Results: 194 patients were included overall: 79 patients were conservatively managed and 115 surgically managed. 19 patients were converted from conservative to surgical management. MOX-FQ pain scores: pre-op conservative 52.15, surgical 61.56 (p=0.009), 6-months conservative 25.1, surgical 25.39 (p=0.810), 12 months conservative 18.54, surgical 20.52 (p=0.482) EQ-TTO scores: pre-op conservative 0.47, surgical 0.51 (p=0.814), 6-months conservative 0.41, surgical 0.49 (p=0.261), 12 months conservative 0.26, surgical 0.37 (p=0.047) EQ-VAS scores: pre-op conservative 63.84, surgical 71.03 (p=0.172), 6-months conservative 46.10, surgical 52.51 (p=0.337), 12 months conservative 30.77, surgical 37.58 (p=0.227) Satisfaction at 12 months: conservative 17 (21.5%), surgical 32 (27.8%) p=0.327 Conclusion: This is one of the first studies investigating long-term PROMs specifically in conservative management for Morton’s neuroma patients. There was no significant difference in pain score and EQ-VAS between all conservative treatments and surgical management at 12 months There was no significant difference in satisfaction at 12 months between conservative and surgical groups.

Thirty-one patients with unilateral or bilateral hydrocele were treated by percutaneous needle aspiration and subsequent sclerotherapy with rolitetracycline. Thirty patients were considered cured after a follow-up of one year. In 20 pts. the procedure proved to be definitive after the first sitting, in 6 cases the treatment was repeated twice and in 4 cases three times. Only in 1 a recurrence was observed after the third treatment. No complications related to the procedure were recorded.

Mr and Mrs R, non-consanguineous couple had history of all their children during neonatal period. First two neonates were normal at birth, then presented with lethargy, vomiting and decreased acceptance of feeds. Both the babies expired after birth without being investigated for cause of death. The third neonate was investigated for inborn error of metabolism and found to be affected with methylmalonic acidemia. The couple departed away inspite of extensive counselling. In the fourth pregnancy antenatally fetus was diagnosed as carrier case of methylmalonic acidemia and short chain fatty acid oxidase deficiency. The fourth baby was normal and was in follow up till one year age. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jnps.v34i2.10577 J Nepal Paediatr Soc 2014;34(2):150-153

Abstract An aorto-esophageal fistula (AEF) is a rare yet life-threatening cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. We report our experience with open surgical management of two cases of AEF. Both cases presented with almost identical presentations: hematemesis and hemodynamic instability. The aorta in the first patient was normal; the defect was small and was repaired with a Dacron patch. The second patient had an aneurysmal aorta, which was replaced with a Dacron graft. Both cases were performed under partial bypass. The esophageal rent in both patients was debrided, primarily closed and buttressed with a vascularized intercostal pedicle. Nonavailability of endovascular personnel and equipment along with hemodynamic instability of the patient influenced our surgical strategy. Long-term follow-up of these patients is necessary to analyze the outcomes of our surgical repair.

Cutaneous Sinus

Chronic apical periodontitis associated with dental pulp necrosis is the main cause of odontogenic extraoral cutaneous sinus openings. These tracts are often initially misdiagnosed unless the treating clinician considers a dental aetiology. This case report of a 19-year-old woman describes the diagnosis and treatment of an extraoral cutaneous sinus tract of odontogenic origin. Non-surgical conservative endodontic therapy was opted as the involved teeth were restorable. One month after the completion of obturation, there was closure of the sinus tract. One year follow-up showed complete resolution of the sinus tract with minimal scar formation.

AbstractIn this review, we describe the experience from 13 European centres using the CardioSEAL and Starflex double umbrella devices to close interatrial communications within the oval fossa (so-called ‘stcundum’ defects). Between October 1996 and April 1999, the procedure was attempted in 334 patients with a mean age of 12 years and a mean weight of 44kg. The mean measured stretched diameter of the defect was 15 mm. In the overall group, the defect was solitary in 245 patients (73%), multiple in 21 (6%), associated with an aneurysm of the flap valve in 15 (5%), was represented by patency of the oval foramen in 44 (13%), and was a fenestration in a Fontan repair in 9 (3%). In all patients, the devices were inserted under general anesthesia, using fluoroscopic and transesophageal echocardiographic control. Implantation was achieved in 325 (97,3%). The device embolized within either a few minutes or a few hours in 13 patients (4%). Of these, uncomplicated surgical repair was undertaken in 10, while the device was retrieved in 3 using catheters and a second device was successfully implanted. Residual shunting was detected immediately after the procedure in 41% of the patients, with the incidence decreasing to 31% at discharge, 24% at 1 month, 21% at 6 months, and 20.5% at one year. During the period of follow-up, elective surgical repair became necessary in two patients, due to malposition of the device in one, and late embolization in the other. Fractures of arms were seen in 6.1%, most commonly with the largest devices. All those with fractured arms of the device were asymptomatic, and no clinical complications related to the fractures were observed. There were no arrythmias, endocarditis, valvar distortion, thromboembolic events, or other complications. After one year of follow-up, clinical success, defined as complete closure of the defect or presence of only a trivial leak, had been obtained in 92.5% of the patients. We conclude, therefore, that these devices produce excellent results when used to close defects of small to moderate size. Results are less than optimal, or else complications ensure, when attempts are made to close very large defects.

In the present study, possibility of non-surgical endodontic re-treatment for correction of symptomatic endodontic failure with and without periradicular pathosis was evaluated both clinically and radiologically. The main objective of this study was also to assess, verify and establish the non-surgical re-treatment method as primary approach to resolve endodontic failures irrespective of sex. A total 69 cases of endodontic failure with or without periapical pathosis were studied of which 24 (34.78%) were male and 45 (65.21%) were female .The mostly affected teeth were Mandibular 1st molars 19 in number (27.53%) followed by Maxillary central incisors 17 in number (24.63%). After one year follow up, the final outcome was success- 47 (75.80%), doubtful- 2 (3.22%) and failure-13 (20.96%).DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jcmc.v5i1.12561
