<p class="abstract">Trauma induced auricular partial defect very common. Due to the aesthetic value, proper reconstruction has to be done preserving the symmetry of bilateral auricles. The reconstruction of auricle is difficult due to the intricate anatomy of the auricle, limited and inconsistent vascularization and the high ratio of cartilage to skin. Historically, Susruta was the first author to describe about auricular repair. In Ayurveda, medicinal leech therapy is praised for it’s usefulness for the healing of ulcers. In this case report, a male of 30 years with a trauma induced postauricular infected ulcer was successfully treated with the application of medicinal leeches for multiple sittings.</p><p class="abstract"> </p>

AbstractHyperammonemic encephalopathy is an uncommon, potentially lethal adverse effect of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Being one of the most common and versatile chemotherapy agents, it is important to understand this important side effect of 5FU. There is paucity of data in this subject. Here, we report a case of 5FU-induced encephalopathy in a patient on induction chemotherapy for head and neck cancer. In this case report, the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of 5FU-induced encephalopathy is reported.

Trichodysplasia spinulosa (TS) is a rare, opportunistic infectious skin disease caused by the polyoma virus.  Clinically, TS is characterized by follicular papules, keratin spicules, and alopecia most classically in a midfacial distribution. Since its discovery in 2010, no standard of treatment has been established, though use of oral acitretin, valganciclovir, lefludomide, topical cidofovir, physical extraction, and modification of immunosuppressive medications have been reported in the literature.  We describe the case of a 52-year old female with a painful midfacial eruption and alopecia of the bilateral eyebrows ultimately diagnosed with TS and treated with topical cidofovir 3%. Though the TS eruption resolved, treatment resulted in hyperpigmentation of the affected area. Hyperpigmentation associated with cidofovir use has been reported in cases of molluscum contagiosum, however, no such association has been described in the treatment of TS to our knowledge. Therefore, we report this case to highlight an underreported adverse effect of topical cidofovir in the setting of this rare disease.
