Genioplasty is a common procedure in plastic surgery, with various alloplastic biomaterials utilized for chin augmentation. Despite their advantages, complications such as neuropraxia of the mental nerve can occur, leading to temporary or persistent sensory disturbances. This case report describes a 35-year-old female who sought correction of a small chin. Preoperative evaluation revealed a retrognathic profile, and the patient underwent genioplasty with high-density porous polyethylene implantation. Postoperatively, she experienced mild paresthesia, which improved over time. Neurosensory assessments, including mechanical and light touch tests, showed no abnormalities in A-beta and C fibers but decreased sensitivity in A-delta fibers. This case report emphasizes the importance of evaluating larger nerve fibers during postoperative assessments and the need for standardized testing methodologies to comprehensively assess nerve damage after genioplasty. Further research should explore strategies to standardize neurosensory assessment and optimize therapeutic interventions for nerve damage after genioplasty.

Keyhole decompression surgery for holospinal epidural abscess: a novel approach for spinal stability preservation.

Purpose: Spinal epidural abscesses are rare yet serious conditions, often necessitating emergency surgical intervention. Holospinal epidural abscesses (HEA) extending from the cervical to the lumbosacral spine are even rarer and present significant challenges in management. This report aims to describe a case of HEA with both ventrally-located cervical and dorsally-located thoracolumbar epidural abscesses treated with a combination of anterior keyhole decompression and posterior skip decompression surgeries.

Autosomal dominant CDK13-related disease is characterized by congenital heart defects, dysmorphic facial features, and intellectual developmental disorder (CHDFIDD). Heterozygous pathogenic variants, particularly missense variants in the kinase domain, have previously been described as disease causing. Using the determination of a methylation pattern and comparison with an established episignature, we reveal the first hypomorphic variant in the kinase domain of CDK13, leading to a never before described autosomal recessive form of CHDFIDD in a boy with characteristic features.

Introduction: The erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is a relatively new regional anesthetic procedure that provides analgesia below the erector spinae muscles in an interfascial plane. The indications for its use continue to expand as we learn more about this block.
Case: We report a case of a 60 year old woman presenting to the emergency department (ED) with severe intractable pain after recent onset of herpes zoster infection.
