HighlightsA case of posttraumatic unilateral TMJ ankylosis resulting from closed reduction of a bilateral condylar fracture with interesting radiological findings.In a condylar fracture whether to intervene or to go for conservative management still remains a dilemma.Studies and hypothesis suggests that it’s medially dislocated condylar fracture segment that is more likely to ankylose.In our case the post trauma CT shows the lateral segment abutting with the arch and that the area has become ankylotic in a span of 2 years.
Tongue plays a pivotal role in both physiological and functional life of human beings. Structural and developmental abnormalities of the tongue in various forms have been reported in isolation or in combination with various syndromes. Though cases of bifid tongues have been mentioned in literature, no reports of pentafid tongue have been reported till date. Here we describe a unique case of congenital pentafid tongue along with bilateral polydactyly and its surgical management.
An easy gentle walk is advised into any enclosed place rather than an approach where bony pillars are transected.Tumor size and location are analysed to decide on the entry into the orbit. All of the main approaches published to date are mainly based on an osteotomy of the orbital wall and hence when a relatively accessible lesion crossed our way, we decided on a non-osteotomised approach allowing us to preserve the function, anatomy and good aesthetic results; thereby avoiding the need for subsequent reconstruction.
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.
