Abstract: Summary We report the case of a 48year-old patient hospitalized in the gastroenterology department for acute pancreatitis, she was referred to the ophthalmological emergency room with an acute painless loss of vision on the left eye. Visual acuity was limited to light perceptions on the left eye and 10/10 P2 on the right eye. The fundus examination showed ischemic edema and a cherry red macula. This aspect suggests an occlusion of the central retinal artery. Further angiography was performed which shows circulatory slowing. The diagnosis retained is an occlusion of the central retinal artery secondary to an thrombosis in a hypercoagulable area.

Abstract: Vascular anomalies represent a wide spectrum of pathological lesions than may involve blood, lymphatic, capillary, or combined vessels in any part of the human body, with various clinical presentations, different prognoses, and multiple treatment options. Vascular anomalies have been categorized by the classification system of the International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies (ISSVA) into two types: vascular neoplasms (hemangiomas), and vascular malformations. Diagnosis and management of vascular anomalies is a challenging, especially given the great concern for children and their parents. Approximately 60 % of them occur in the face, causing functional, esthetic.......

Abstract: The diagnosis of carotid-cavernous sinus fistula is based on clinical findings and must be confirmed and detailed by CT scan and arteriography. If the treatment, based on embolization, is not undertaken in the emergency room, visual complications or even death may result. We give an example of a post-traumatic carotid-cavernous sinus fistula, stressing its clinical; radiological characteristics and treatment..

Abstract: Uveitis is observed in 30% of Anti-nuclear Antibodies (ANA) positive patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) [1] and is an important cause of ocular morbidity in childhood and beyond. This is a 10-year-old boy, with a history of recurrent unpainful red right eye, with inflammatory-type arthralgia of the right knee, Consulted for exotropia of the right eye. On examination, we find visual acuity with positive light perception, retro-descemetic precipitates, iridolenticular synechiae, posterior subcapsular cataract, and a total retinal detachment with ischemic and frozen retina. Ocular ultrasound shows total retinal detachment. with a rigid-leaved V-shaped retina without any intraocular tumor. A retinal fluorescein angiography did not find vasculitis lesions in the contralateral eye. The diagnosis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis was retained in front of the inflammatory joint involvement and a positive level of ANA.

Abstract: Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign tumour affecting both major and minor salivary glands. Parotid gland is the most commonly affected major salivary gland. Minor salivary gland adenoma is a rare entity. Among minor salivary glands, palate is the most commonly affected site followed by lips, cheeks, gingiva, floor of the mouth, and tongue. PA of minor salivary glands at angle of mouth is a very rare occurrence both in adults and children. In this report, we present a case of PA of minor salivary glands at angle of mouth in an adult patient who was successfully treated by surgical excision, and after a follow-up period of 6 months there was no recurrence

Abstract: Background: The residual ridge resorption is a term used to describe the continuing bone loss that takes place in the alveolar bone of maxilla and mandible. The factors affecting ridge resorption play a very vital role in the treatment planning of the patients with long standing edentulism. Mandible is more affected with RRR as compared to maxilla. Our article describes all the aspects of RRR in detail. The consequences that the dentist faces while restoring the missing structures of the oral cavity. The knowledge of pathology and pathophysiology helps in understanding the reason for the etiology that leads to RRR to a step by step approach to the prosthetic management of RRR......

Abstract: Background: Spinal fusion has become an important procedure in the management of spine degenerative disorders. TLIF, transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion for short, has become the standard technique in the management of LDDD(lumbar disc degenerative diseases) nowadays. The objective of our study was to compare the clinical and radiological outcome of unilateral pedicle screw fixation(UPSF) and bilateral screw fixation(BPSF) after unilateral transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion(TLIF) for the treatment of lumbar degenerative disc diseases. Materials and Methods: A total of 20 patients were included in the study out of which 8 were treated with UPSF ( Group A) and 12 were treated with BPSF( Group B). The perioperative outcomes along with preoperative and postoperative clinical and radiological outcomes were recorded in the follow up period. Clinical outcomes were evaluated by the VAS, the ODI (Oswestry disability index). Results: As per the perioperative assessment.........
