Introduction: Neurofibromas are rare benign tumors of peripheral nerve sheaths, and hand involvement is particularly uncommon. This case report presents a large neurofibroma located in the thenar region, a critical area for thumb opposition and hand dexterity, posing unique surgical challenges.
Presentation Of Case: A 23-year-old female presented with a 3-year history of a progressively enlarging mass in the thenar region of the right hand, accompanied by nocturnal pain but no neurological deficits.
Article Synopsis
- Othello syndrome is a type of psychosis where individuals wrongly believe their partner is cheating, often tied to psychiatric or neurological issues, including strokes.
- A case study details a 50-year-old woman with no prior psychiatric history who developed these delusions after a bi-thalamic stroke, resulting in severe aggressive behavior.
- The condition underscores the link between strokes and psychiatric symptoms, particularly in the right hemisphere, which can disrupt emotional regulation and lead to dangerous misunderstandings of a partner’s behavior.
Introduction: Peri-implant fractures (PIFs) are uncommon yet critical complications following orthopedic surgery. These complications can significantly impact a patient's psychological well-being and overall quality of life.
Aim: This study aimed to investigate the psychological effects of PIFs.
Introduction: Ipsilateral fractures of the shaft of the femur combined with hip dislocations are extremely rare injuries, presenting a difficult diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Diagnosis of hip dislocation is often delayed, due to the focus on femoral fracture.
Case Presentation: This article presents a case never described before of a 19-year-old patient who sustained this unusual combination of injuries as a result of a road traffic accident.
Article Synopsis
- - Hibernoma is a rare benign tumor from brown fat that is often misidentified as liposarcoma, necessitating a biopsy for accurate diagnosis.
- - A case of a 70-year-old woman with a hibernoma in her left thigh illustrates the challenges in diagnosis, as initial imaging pointed to liposarcoma but histopathology confirmed hibernoma.
- - The case highlights the importance of including hibernoma in differential diagnoses, relying on MRI and biopsy for confirmation, and emphasizes that complete surgical excision is crucial to avoid recurrence.
