Analysis of Clinical, Radiographic, and Treatment Profile of 10 Cases of Neurogenic Tumors and Tumor-Like Lesions of the Oral and Maxillofacial Region: An Observational Study.

Background: Soft tissues of the head and neck areas are a very frequent site of occurrence of certain benign tumors of the peripheral nerve sheath, especially the neurofibromas. Hence, the present study was conducted for assessing clinical, radiographic, and treatment profile of 10 cases of neurogenic tumors and tumor-like lesions of the oral and maxillofacial region.

Materials And Methods: Data records of a total of 10 patients who were diagnosed with tumors of neurogenic origin were enrolled in the present study.

Anesthetic management of a patient with congenital diaphragmatic eventration.

Congenital diaphragmatic eventration is uncommon in adults and is caused by paralysis, aplasia or atrophy of the muscular fibers of the diaphragm. It may cause severe dyspnea, orthopnea and hypoxia in adult patients. Most symptomatic patients may be managed efficiently without the need for surgical correction, although any event that leads to an increase in intra-abdominal pressure puts them at the risk of spontaneous diaphragmatic rupture.
