简介:AbstractIntroduction:Erosive adenomatosis of the nipple is a rare benign lesion involving nipple which can be easily misdiagnosed as more ominous entities such as Pagets disease.Here we reported a case of erosive adenomatosis on the nipple masquerading as paget’s disease.Case presentation:A 21-year-old woman presented with a 6-year history of breast erythema involving her left nipple with tenderness and mild itching. The nipple appeared rough and thickened with areas of erosion and fissuring. Physical examination of other areas of breast as well as imaging studies including ultrasound and mammography showed no abnormalities. The histological examination reveal adiagnosis of erosive adenomatosis of nipple (EAN). The patient was treated by a simple surgical excision without complications and recurrence during 9-month follow-up.Discussion:In the early stage, it can mimic eczema, but in the later stage, more serious diagnosis such as Pagets disease should be differential. It is diagnosed by histopathological examination. Surgical excision is an optimal choice for treament with or without plastic reconstruction.Conclusion:EAN should be considered in the diagnosis of erythema and erosion lesions involving nipple. The gold standard for diagnosis is histopathological examination. A prompt and correct diagnosis of EAN can avoid both unnecessary over treatment and patients emotional stress.

简介:AbstractIntroduction:Pterygium inversum unguis (PIU) refers to a disorder that distal portion of the nail bed adheres to ventral surface of the nail plate, leading to the absence of the distal groove. This is not a common condition in existing literature, thus its pathogenesis has not been elucidated. The occurrence can be congenital, idiopathic, or secondary. Here we present a case of PIU associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Case presentation:A 33-year-old woman presented with distal nail bed of the bilateral fingers (excluding the thumbs) adheres to the ventral surface of the nail plate, associated with a malar rash, photosensitivity, and arthritis, whose further laboratory examinations confirmed immunologic disorders. All these clinical characteristics and laboratory results point to the diagnosis of PIU secondary to SLE. Treatment of SLE and topical application of tretinoin 0.025% were performed and resulted in the improvement of most discomforts but PIU. There has no aggravation or alleviation of the PIU during a year of follow-up.Discussion:Acquired form of PIU is reportedly associated with connective tissue diseases or other conditions, which may be caused by abnormal distal circulation or exposure to certain chemical stimuli. Some therapies may be available, while the most effective strategy is to treat potential disorder. Clinicians should be vigilant to find out the underlying causes of PIU, so as to obtain better therapeutic efficacy.Conclusion:We observed a rare disorder of PIU associated with SLE. Hence when identifying a patient of PIU, comprehensive evaluations and long-term follow-up are imperative to to detect the development of connective tissus diseases, such as SLE.

简介:AbstractPenetrating head injury is rare, and thus management of such injuries is non-standard. Early diagnosis and intraoperative comprehensive exploration are necessary considering the complexity and severity of the trauma. However, because of the lack of microsurgical techniques in local hospitals, the possible retained foreign bodies and other postoperative complications such as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak usually require a rational design for a secondary operation to deal with. We present a case of a 15-yearold boy who was stabbed with a bamboo stick in his left eye. The chopsticks passed through the orbit roof and penetrated the skull base. In subsequent days, the patient sustained CSF leak and intracranial infection after an unsatisfied primary treatment in the local hospital and had to request a secondary operation in our department. Computed tomography including plain scan, three dimension reconstruction and computed tomographic angiography are used to determine the course and extent of head injury. A frontal craniotomy was performed. Three pieces of stick were found residual and removed with the comminuted orbit bone fragments. A pedicled temporalis muscle fascia graft was applied to repair the frontier skull base and a free temporalis muscle flap to seal the frontal sinus defect. Aggressive broadspectrum antibiotics of vancomycin and meropenem were administrated for persistent fever after operation. CSF external drainage system continued for 12 days, and was removed 10 days after temperature returned to normal. The Glasgow coma scale score was improved to 15 at postoperative day 7 and the patient was discharged at day 22 uneventfully. We believe that appropriate preoperative surgical plan and thorough surgical exploration by microsurgery is essential for attaining a favorable outcome, especially in secondary operation. Good postoperative recovery depends on successfully management before and after operation for possible complications as well.
简介:AbstractBackground:Piriformis syndrome accounts for approximately 6% of patients who present with sciatic pain. There are many treatment options ranging from physical therapy, to trigger point injections, to surgical intervention. We discuss a surgical method that represents a minimally invasive technique for the treatment of piriformis syndrome.Methods:We describe a novel operative approach and technique for release of the piriformis muscle in the treatment of piriformis syndrome. Described are the preoperative planning, incision and approach, and technique for identifying and releasing the piriformis muscle.Results:Three patients were treated for piriformis syndrome using the described technique. Each patient displayed successful relief of their symptoms immediately following the surgical procedure and at delayed follow-up.Conclusion:Early experience with our method of piriformis release suggests that it is well suited for the treatment of piriformis syndrome. The novel integration of pre-operative trigger point localization coupled with intraoperative neuromonitoring allows effective pain relief with minimal morbidity.
