Article Synopsis
- Patients treated with both antiresorptive medication and radiotherapy in the head and neck are at increased risk for developing complications such as jaw necrosis, fractures, and recurrence of conditions.
- The study involved 17 patients who were compared to larger control groups, revealing significant differences in outcomes, with those receiving combined treatment facing higher risks.
- The findings suggest that the combination of these treatments leads to a four-fold increase in recurrence risk and a higher likelihood of serious complications compared to patients receiving just one type of treatment.
Background: Treatment of pulmonary artery (PA) stenosis in congenital heart disease is associated with adverse outcomes. The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to compare outcomes after surgical patch augmentation of PA stenosis in patients with biventricular congenital heart disease using different patch materials.
Methods: We identified all patients from our institutional congenital heart disease database who underwent patch augmentation for PA stenosis on the main pulmonary artery (MPA) or PA branches between 2012 and 2018.
A total of 7% of all benign bone lesions are diagnosed as fibrous dysplasia (FD). The symptoms of FD of the jaw range from asymptomatic to dental anomalies, pain and facial asymmetry. Due to its resemblance to other fibro-osseous bone lesions, misdiagnosis often occurs and can lead to inadequate treatment.
