Vacuum extraction delivery is one of the commonest and routinely available forms of assisted vaginal delivery in tertiary care hospitals. The association of caput succedaneum and mode of deliveries is sparsely discussed in any of the renowned platform. Here we are presenting case series of infants who presented to us with scalp swelling in our ultrasound suite and we diagnosed them as caput succedaneum exclusively on sonography with no need of CT or MRI scanning.
Despite the advances in the medical sciences and increased safety measures taken during surgeries, there are still few unfortunate times when post-procedure complications can occur due to human errors presenting with intraoperative or post operative symptoms. Gossipiboma is a rare complication that can occur due to human negligence. Gossipiboma’s form as a complication of inflammatory reaction to a surgical sponge or a laparotomy pad left mistakenly in the body of the patient after a surgical procedure. The term Gossipiboma is a combination of two words from two different languages; Gossypium a Latin word which mean cotton and boma a Kiswahili word which means plan of concealment. Their incidence is reported to be 1 in 1000 to 1500 surgery. We present here a case of a 67-year-old male who had a history of right-sided Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) five years back. No immediate post procedure complications occurred however the patient presented to the Outpatient Department (OPD) with left flank pain and his Computed Tomography (CT) scan was done which showed an organized Gossipiboma.
Sialolithiasis account for the most common disease of salivary glands. The majority of salivary gland calculi involve the submandibular duct and rarely in its parenchyma. This is common benign disease may cause the acute or chronic sialadenitis. Sialolith can be single, multiple, unilateral or bilateral. Patient can presents with history of swelling and pain. Giant sialolithiasis is not a common condition mainly occur in submandibular duct. Here we discuss the unusual giant submandibular duct calculus in adult male patient, its Computed Tomography (CT) scan appearance and post-surgical findings.
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.
