A Simple Option Added for Reconstruction of Posterior Neck Defects.

Background: Posterior neck defects are uncommon and are mainly caused by infections or tumors. Consequently, the reconstruction options are limited in the literature. They vary according to the size and type of the defect, and options range from grafts to free flaps.

Diffuse Type Neurofibroma of the Forearm.

Nerve sheath tumors comprise 5% of soft tissue masses of the upper limb in adults. Neurofibromas are divided into three types: localized, diffuse, and plexi- form. The diffuse type is rare and is typically found in the head and neck region.

A Rare Anatomical Finding of Undescribed Accessory Palmaris Longus in the Distal Forearm: A Case Report.

Upper limb muscle anomalies and their clinical implications have been described frequently in the literature reviews. In this article, we are presenting a case of aberrant forearm muscle that had not been described before, and could be considered as a palmaris longus muscle variation. A 24-year-old man presented to the emergency department, Hamad General Hospital, Doha, Qatar, with right forearm laceration with multiple cut structures for which he was admitted for exploration and repair.

A Rare Presentation of Hand TB Extending to the Space of Parona.

Most cases of hand infections are caused by gram-positive cocci and gram-negative bacilli. Atypical hand infections are rare and are caused by uncommon pathogens like (TB). Musculoskeletal tuberculosis accounts for 20% of TB cases, and only 2% of these cases involve the hand and foot.

Unusual Presentation of Extensor Tendon Rupture Caused by a Dorsal Wrist Synovial Cyst.

Synovial cysts are juxta-articular-fluid-filled collections that are lined by synovial cells, distinguishing them from a very close cystic lesion, which is the ganglion cyst. They usually present with pain and unpleasant appearance; here we present a case of wrist synovial cyst that caused extensor tendon rupture. A 50-year-old woman presented to our clinic with a cystic lesion on the dorsum of her wrist, with an inability to extend her index finger.

A Modification to Enhance the Survival of the Island FDMA Flap by Adding a Skin Bridge.

Unlabelled: Distal thumb injuries are common in high construction load regions, and it is a challenging task for the plastic surgeon to find the optimum choice that preserves thumb length and provides a sensory substitute to the lost tissue. Introducing first dorsal metacarpal artery flap has solved the dilemma. One drawback is that the flap is susceptible to distal necrosis, which can happen because of tight tunneling or insufficient venous drainage.
