Hypoglossal schwannoma of parapharyngeal space: an unusual case report.

Schwannomas are benign tumor of the schwann cells. These are common in eighth, tenth cranial nerves and parasympathetic chain. Hypoglossal schwannomas are rare.

Bilateral odontogenic keratocyst of the mandible.

Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a cyst of dental origin with an aggressive clinical behavior, having high recurrence rate. Multiple cysts are associated with bifid-rib basal cell nevus syndrome (Gorlin syndrome). We present a case of bilateral odontogenic keratocyst in a cleft lip patient.

Huge ossifying fibroma of the maxilla.

Ossifying fibroma of bone is a central neoplasm of bone. It is more common in young adult with marked predilection for mandible. It is more common in females.

Tubercular ulcer: mimicking squamous cell carcinoma of buccal mucosa.

Tuberculosis is a chronic granulomatous disease that rarely affects oral cavity. Tuberculous lesions of the oral cavity are frequently overlooked in the differential diagnosis of oral lesions. The oral clinical presentation of tuberculosis may take many forms as ulcers, nodules, tubercular fissure, tubercular papilloma and tuberculomas.

Vitreopapillary and vitreomacular traction in proliferative Eales' disease.

Vitreoretinal interface alterations leading to vitreopapillary and vitreomacular traction in a 29-year case of proliferative Eales' disease is described for the first time. On fundus examination, an ellipsoid area of vitreomacular traction was noted temporal to the optic disc. A triangular-shaped infolding of the retina was observed superior to the fovea.

Chronic cervical lymphadenopathy in children: Role of ultrasonography.

Aim: To assess the usefulness of ultrasonography in the differentiation of causes of chronic cervical lymphadenopathy in children.

Materials And Methods: Children with palpable cervical lymph nodes were included. An ultrasonographic examination was performed to delineate multiple lymph nodes, irregular margins, tendency towards fusion, internal echos, the presence of strong echoes and echogenic thin layer.

Antioxidant supplementation improves platelet membrane fluidity in idiopathic retinal periphlebitis (Eales' disease).

Purpose: Oxidative damage to cellular membranes plays an important role in the pathobiology of tissue injury. Retinal photoreceptors and platelets are an easy target of oxidants because of high proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids. A tertiary-care center-based prospective study was undertaken to study the effect of antioxidant supplementation over membrane fluidity in platelets in idiopathic retinal periphlebitis (Eales' disease) for the first time.

Efficacy of Iliac Crest vs. Medpor in Orbital Floor Reconstruction.

Aim: The present study is to compare the effectiveness of iliac crest graft and medpor implant, for repairing traumatic orbital floor defects.

Materials And Methods: A total of 20 patients were included in the study. Autogenous iliac crest graft and medpor implant was used in 10 patients of the each group.

Topical bevacizumab for corneal neovascularization after penetrating keratoplasty.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of topical bevacizumab for corneal neovascularization in graft rejection.

Methods: A 55-year-old man presented with corneal neovascularization and graft rejection 6 months following penetrating keratoplasty (triple procedure) in the left eye. His best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was counting fingers at 1 meter.
