PLEURAL EFFUSION AS AN INITIAL PRESENTATION OF EXTRAMEDULLARY ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIA: A RARE PHENOMENON

Munchausen's Syndrome

Jacob's disease is a rare condition that consists of the formation of a pseudo joint structure between the mandibular coronoid process and the zygomatic bone, resulting in limited mouth opening. The disease is difficult to diagnose and etiology is uncertain. This article describes a clinical case of a 6-year-old child with limited mouth opening, which resulted in the formation of a temporomandibular ankylosis leading to complete immobility due to delayed diagnosis and treatment of the disease. A review of this pathology and the most precise imaging exams are discussed for the early and differential diagnosis of the disease.

A case report and review of the literature are presented. To describe the clinical course and treatment of a patient with an unusual intraosseous degenerative cyst within the body of the axis, as well as review the literature regarding these lesions. Intraosseous degenerative cysts of the cervical spine are extremely rare. To our knowledge, only 4 prior case studies have described these lesions, 2 of which were seen in the body of C2. A case report of a 58-year-old patient with neck pain and an intraosseous cyst within the axis is presented with a review of the pertinent literature. History, examination, radiographic evaluation, and histology revealed this lesion to be an intraosseous degenerative cyst within the body of C2. The patient was treated with anterior surgical biopsy/curettage and posterior stabilization with structural graft enhancement. Although rare, intraosseous cervical degenerative cysts should be present in any differential diagnosis of cystic lesions seen in the cervical spine.

Traumatic brain injury is a major public health problem, and is the leading cause of mortality, morbidity, and disability in children and young adults, especially young men (15–35 years). Bilateral traumatic basal ganglia hemorrhage (TBGH) is a rare entity with less than eight cases reported in literature. The mechanism of this injury is not well understood, and various theories based on autopsy findings have been proposed to explain this injury. Outcome of TBGH is usually favorable, unless associated with other concomitant neuroparenchymal injuries. A case of traumatic bilateral basal ganglia hematoma has been discussed here with review of available literature on the subject. How to cite this article Rege SV, Narayan S, Patil H, Tadghare J.

But because there are few reported necropsies the pathology of the disease is of particular interest in regard to the distribution of the lesions. Last year Bernstein was able to collect only 18 necropsies and to these he added three of his own. We have reviewed these cases and three additional reports by Beck and Merkel, Amoss and Sprunt, and Kavanaugh to determine the distribution of the lesions. This study was prompted by the occurrence of a fatal case of tularemia which was...Bibliography AMOSSSPRUNT HLDH: Tularemia: review of literature of cases contracted by ingestion of rabbit and the report of additional case with a necropsy, Jr. Am.
