A rare case of a intraosseous arteriovenous malformation of the temporomandibular joint and mandible - Case report and literature review.

Introduction: This case report looks at a 47 year-old patient, presenting with a rapid onset mass of the left face. This report examines the case, the investigations undertaken, its management and undertakes a literature review of this uncommon condition and rare presentation.

Presentation Of Case: This patient had experienced functional deterioration, restriction and an evident swelling of the left face.

Extramammary Paget's disease of the oral tissues-literature review and a rare case report.

Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare, cutaneous adenocarcinoma in situ characterized by a chronic eczema-like rash of the anogenital regions. It is usually slow growing, locally invasive and presents mainly with pruritis. Extremely rare in the oral tissues, here we present a case of EMPD of the hard palate and a review of the existing literature base.

Quality of life: patient-reported outcomes after total replacement of the temporomandibular joint.

Since publication of the UK guidelines on total replacement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in 2008 by the British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (BAOMS), pain scores, mouth opening, and diet have been used as markers of success. We have looked at quality of life (QoL) as another. We analysed the data from a single surgeon on patients who had had joints replaced and devised a questionnaire to find out about the subjective, functional, psychological, and social aspects of TMJ disease.

Total Joint Replacement for Severe Bilateral Condylar Resorption--Gorham-Stout Syndrome.

Gorham-Stout syndrome is an extremely rare bone disorder characterized by osteolytic bony resorption. It is of unknown etiology and thought to result from localized endothelial proliferation of lymphatic vessels that cause the bony resorption. Diagnosis of Gorham-Stout can only be made after excluding other common causes of bony resorption such as those caused by infection, inflammation, malignancy, and endocrine.

Long-term complications associated with permanent dermal fillers.

We report a case series of patients with serious long-term complications associated with the injection of permanent dermal fillers. Although such complications are relatively rare, the consequences are potentially life-long, and the psychological and medical effects can often have a profound impact on the patient. The continued routine offering of these treatments will require doctors to communicate effectively with patients about the nature of the complications and the probability of risk compared with alternative treatments.

The effect of early insertion of grommets on the development of speech in children with cleft palates.

The aim of this study was to find out whether simultaneous primary palatoplasty and myringotomy was advantageous in the management of otitis media with effusion in children with cleft lip and palate and whether this combined operation resulted in improvement in the early development of speech. Assessments of hearing and speech were made in 50 consecutive patients with cleft lip and palate who had the combined operation (the cleft group). The results were compared with those of an age- and sex-matched control group.

Anthropometric analysis of eyebrows and eyelids: an inter-racial study.

The shape of the eyebrow and upper eyelid are distinctive facial landmarks. In cosmetic and reconstructive operations, maintenance of the anatomical relations of these landmarks ensures a pleasing postoperative appearance. The measurements differ, however, among different ethnic groups.

An audit of 405 temporomandibular joint arthrocentesis with intra-articular morphine infusion.

The management of refractory pain in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is both challenging and controversial. Arthrocentesis is a simple technique that can be used instead of more invasive procedures in patients with pain that fails to respond to conventional conservative measures. We undertook an audit of 405 arthrocenteses in 298 patients over a 10-year period who had refractory pain in the TMJ.
