Intraneural Hemangioma of the digital nerve is rare and so far three cases have been reported in the literature. We present a case of 12-year-old boy with painless soft tissue mass in the right hand and numbness on the radial aspect of the index finger. Magnetic Resonance Imaging showed an isointense subcutaneous lesion without discrete borders in the first web space classically of hemangioma with the radial digital nerve extension. On exploration, the intraneural extension of the hemangioma was confirmed and total resection, microsurgical primary digital nerve repair was done. The patient became better and at 6 months follow up the index finger sensation improved. The patient had no reccurence and he is still under follow up.
Injuries caused by the penetration of foreign bodies into the hard and soft tissue are called penetrating injuries. Penetrating injuries on the head and neck region are often the result of deliberate injuries performed by another person. A 4-year-old girl was admitted to the emergency room with penetrating injury due to the insertion of scissors to the right cheek. In her physical examination, it was observed that a sharp object of approximately 7cm (tip of scissors) had penetrated towards the base of the skull from the right cheek of the patient. No neurological deficits were detected. After antibiotic therapy and tetanus prophylaxis, the patient was operated on, and the penetrant object was removed. No neurological damage was detected in the postoperative 1-year follow-up.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
