Comparative Evaluation of Hypotensive and Normotensive Anesthesia on LeFort I Osteotomies: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Prospective Clinical Study.

Introduction: Orthognathic surgery can account for a considerable amount of blood loss since the vascularization of maxillofacial region is such that major bleeding can occur. Intra-bony bleed is often involved as a major aspect of blood loss associated with osteotomies, especially LeFort I osteotomy when performed during orthognathic surgery. This study evolved as a result of the increasing concern to attain a clear surgical field and reduce the duration of surgical procedure and the amount of blood loss associated with orthognathic surgery with the use of controlled hypotension.

Lip synechiae: A rare complication of azithromycin-associated Stevens-Johnson syndrome.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a severe form of erythema multiforme, is a self-limiting acute inflammatory disease of multifactorial origin, but can also present as a chronic recurrent lesion. It causes a whole plethora of lesions, mostly mucocutaneous. It is a dermatologic emergency that occurs with a spectrum of severity and can result in severe morbidity and mortality.
