Pneumolabyrinth can result from traumatic luxation of stapes into the vestibule. The diagnosis of stapes luxation following a head injury can be delayed especially if the otoscopic examination is within normal limits. Here a 15-year-old girl presenting with vertigo and nystagmus following a blunt head injury was presented, whose computerized tomography revealed air in the vestibule and cochlea (pneumolabyrinth) and stapes was found to be luxated into the vestibule.

Do perilunate dislocations and fracture-dislocations result in different radiological outcomes following wrist alignment reconstruction? A single-center retrospective study including 51 patients with perilunate injuries.

Introduction: Perilunate dislocations (PLD) and perilunate fracture-dislocations (PLFD) are high-energy wrist injuries often linked to significant post-traumatic osteoarthritis. This study aims to determine whether PLD and PLFD yield different radiological outcomes following surgical treatment while identifying prognostic factors for worse outcomes.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 51 patients treated for perilunate injuries between 2000 and 2022.

Purpose: Orotracheal intubation is one of the most frequently used techniques in emergency procedures and especially in anesthesia and resuscitation. Teeth may be "victims" of the orotracheal intubation. Several factors may predispose to these accidents.

The occurrence of different types of trauma concomitantly can complicate the establishment of the most appropriate treatment. This report describes the clinical management of orofacial trauma including multiple avulsions, lateral luxation, alveolar fracture, and their sequelae after 7 years of follow-up. A 19-year-old woman presented to emergency care 4 hours after an accidental fall that resulted in the avulsion of teeth #8, #9, and #25; a complicated crown fracture and lateral luxation of tooth #7; an uncomplicated crown fracture of tooth #10; and a fracture of the maxillary alveolar bone.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify radiographic and clinical characteristics of post-traumatic transient apical breakdown (TAB) in luxated permanent teeth, using data from 56 patients treated over 31 years.
- Analysis of 89 teeth showed that upper central incisors were most affected, with common injuries being extrusion and lateral luxation; TAB was characterized by changes in the periodontal ligament and root resorption.
- The time for TAB to appear was generally around 3.2 months, with significant differences based on TAB patterns, and the average duration for regression was 9.1 months following the trauma.

Article Synopsis
- Transient apical breakdown (TAB) is a temporary type of dental injury seen after tooth luxation, indicating root damage and subsequent healing, affecting about 4.2% of such injuries, according to a 1986 study.
- This retrospective study analyzed data from 56 mature teeth of 49 patients aged 9-30 over 10 years to assess the incidence and healing of TAB after different types of dental luxation injuries.
- Results showed high rates of TAB occurrence in various luxation injuries (subluxation 43.8%, extrusive 62.5%, lateral 75%), suggesting that mild injuries may heal spontaneously, allowing for delayed endodontic treatment until infection signs
