Intracranial Rupture of an Intradiploic Dermoid Cyst Resembling an Erupting Volcano: A Case Report.

Dermoid cysts originate from embryonic tissues trapped in the cranial fusion lines and typically manifest extra-axially. However, intradiploic dermoid cysts are rare among cranial tumors, and their rupture has been sparsely documented. We present a case showcasing a remarkable phenomenon-the spontaneous rupture of an intradiploic dermoid cyst into the subarachnoid space, displaying a distinct "volcano-like" appearance on CT and MRI scans.

Postoperative Maxillary Cyst Following Maxillary Tooth Extraction: A Rare Surgical Predicament.

A postoperative maxillary cyst (POMC) is an epithelium-lined cyst that can develop following surgery or trauma in the maxillary antral region. This condition arises from the entrapment of the sinonasal mucosa in the maxilla, and rarely in the mandible, due to trauma or instrumentation near the maxillary sinus. Literature indicates that POMCs, or surgical ciliated cysts, can appear as delayed complications from five months to 56 years after trauma or surgical procedures in the sinus area.

A Novel Minimally Invasive and Cost-Effective Internal Fixation of the Le Fort I Fracture by Using Intermaxillary Fixation Screw and Wire: A Technical Note.

Introduction: Le Fort I fractures represent a significant proportion of craniofacial trauma, often occurring alongside other injuries to the craniomaxillofacial region. Management options include open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) or skeletal suspension, each with its limitations and considerations.

Material and Methods: This technical note presents a novel technique for managing isolated Le Fort I fractures using intermaxillary fixation (IMF) screws, offering a minimally invasive alternative to ORIF.

Evaluation of the effect of COVID-19 infection in pregnancy and puerperium in a suburban medical college in West Bengal, India.

Background: The pandemic of SARS-CoV-2 was a novel situation, there was no conclusive knowledge, particularly concerning its effect on pregnant women and infants. Eminent obstetric organizations have introduced an array of guidelines to assist clinicians in countering this prior unknown outbreak. The primary objective of this study was to summarize the clinical characteristics, complications, and maternal and neonatal outcomes of COVID-19 during pregnancy and puerperium.

Evidence-based management of isolated dentoalveolar fractures: a systematic review.

Dentoalveolar (DA) trauma, which can involve tooth, alveolar bone, and surrounding soft tissues, is a significant dentofacial emergency. In emergency settings, physicians might lack comprehensive knowledge of timely procedures, causing delays for specialist referral. This systematic review assesses the literature on isolated DA fractures, emphasizing intervention timing and splinting techniques and duration in both children and adults.
