Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate how well combined CT and MRI detect metastases from oral cancers to lymph nodes in the neck compared to each method alone.
- - 105 patients with untreated oral squamous cell carcinoma underwent both imaging techniques before surgery, with results showing a diagnostic accuracy of 87%.
- - The findings suggest that using CT and MRI together may provide better detection of metastatic lymph nodes, which can assist in surgical planning and ongoing monitoring of superficial oral cancers.
This is a case report of necrosis of more than two-third of the dorsal tongue in a 74-year-old male following prolonged oral intubation for vascular surgery. This necrosis progressed from the left tongue to involve much of the dorsal tongue bilaterally. A diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis was made evident by compartment syndrome of the legs with an elevated creatine kinase level of 89 789 u/l (units per litre).
