In a complete denture patient, the supporting tissues and the prosthesis are vulnerable to time-dependent changes. The need for maintenance to keep pace with these changes necessitates a regular follow up. However, in a developing country like ours, it is not unusual to find patients either delaying or completely avoiding these follow ups citing various reasons. Often, a new prosthesis is recommended in these situations without considering the prospect of relining and rebasing. This clinical report presents a scenario where one of these maintenance therapies was undertaken to improve the fit and function of the complete denture.

Introduction: Anterior cervical discectomy with fusion (ACDF) and cervical corpectomies are commonly performed procedures in the neurosurgery and orthopedic units across the world. The size of the graft or prosthesis used is variable on individual basis. Also, geographical variations seem to play one of the vital roles in determining the size of the cervical vertebral body and intervertebral disk dimensions. Objective: To study dimension of C3 to C7 vertebral body and C2/3 to C7/T1 intervertebral disk. Inclusion criteria: Nepalese nationality aged between 18 to 60 year old and those with normal cervical spine Magnetic resonance imaging. Exclusion criteria: Traumatic cervical spine and any pathological lesion, such as infection/tumor, destructing the normal morphology of cervical vertebra.

Lumbar disc herniation into the dural space is a rare phenomenon of degenerative lumbar disc disease and its pathogenesis remains unclear. Intraoperative ultrasonography and histopathological examination of resected specimen aids in diagnosis of intradural disc herniation.Prompt surgery is recommended as postoperative outcome of the patient at our setting was favourable.

MRI remains the best tool in the diagnosis of this disease entity however preoperative diagnosis remains a difficult task. A high degree of suspicion is raised when intraoperative findings and preoperative image description become incompatible.
