Spinal subdural empyema in an immunocompetent patient: illustrative case.
J Neurosurg Case Lessons
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- Spinal subdural empyemas are rare but serious conditions that can lead to rapid neurological decline, including paralysis and sensory loss, with uncertain causes.
- The article presents a unique case of this condition in an otherwise healthy patient, highlighting the challenges faced in diagnosing and treating it.
- Effective management relies on quick recognition, imaging to confirm the empyema's location, surgery to remove it, and starting antibiotics, with intraoperative ultrasonography suggested as a helpful tool during surgery.
Prosthetic Management of an Eviscerated Eye of a 13-month-old Patient: A Case Report.
Int J Clin Pediatr Dent
January 2024
Background: On account of loss of eye following Rubella infection, a 13-month-old baby girl patient required a maxillofacial prosthesis to restore her facial esthetics and social health as she grows.
Case Presentation: The process of prosthesis fabrication began at the time of enucleation where a conformer was given. Post healing the procedure was completed in a span of 2 days taking adequate trials and cross references for the like-like appearance of the prosthesis.
Article Synopsis
- - Chiari malformations are rare brain abnormalities affecting the cerebellum, brainstem, and spinal area, potentially leading to various clinical symptoms due to changes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow dynamics.
- - This case report details the incidental finding of a type I Chiari malformation in a 5-year-old girl, initially presenting with heel swelling and later diagnosed with related cerebellar damage and a spinal syrinx.
- - The child underwent surgical treatment involving decompression and removal of affected tissue, with subsequent histopathological confirmation and a plan for ongoing therapy, highlighting the complexity and potential complications of such malformations.
Aim: Orientation of the occlusal plane is an important clinical procedure for complete denture fabrication. An attempt had been made to reconstruct the occlusal plane using a different reference plane. The aim of this study was to find the correlation of the "K" plane to the occlusal plane and to assess the angular deviation between the K-plane to the occlusal plane (KO) with different skeletal forms.

Only two cases of isolated diffuse paediatric cerebellar glioma have been reported in the English language to the best of our knowledge [2, 3], and only one of these cases had a similar imaging phenotype to our cases [3]. Although somewhat similar to Lhermitte-Duclos (dysplastic gangliocytoma of the cerebellum), the appearances are distinct from other neoplastic entities of the paediatric posterior fossa.

Followed by the emergence of highly pathogenic coronaviruses in 2003 SARS-CoV, in 2012 MERS-CoV, now in 2019 pathogenic SARS-CoV-2, is associated with a global "pandemic" situation. In humans, the effects of these viruses are correlated with viral pneumonia, severe respiratory tract infections.
