Pseudoaneurysm of the internal maxillary artery due to a traumatic event is rare condition. Pseudoaneurysms are usually directly produced by arteries break with extravasation blood. The compressed perivascular tissue forms wall aneurysmal sac. Then, this sac gradually expands and can be damaged. It see pseudoaneurysms IMA. They associated fracture neck mandible. To best our knowledge pseudoaneurysm related maxillofacial trauma an extremely in literature if not quickly managed lead patient’s...
Excision of neoplasm and trauma involving the anterior cranial base may often result in communication between intracranial extracranial compartments. Many techniques have been proposed to obtain a watertight separation. We report our 5 years experience management skull defects using galeal-pericranial flap. Between January 2001 April 2006, 22 patients were treated for reconstruction at University Messina. Five them presented with persistent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak after previous...
Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is an adverse effect bisphosphonate treatment that has become subject increasing investigations, in particular due to its poorly understood pathogenesis. Several experimental studies on animal models have been conducted; however, majority these replicate human ONJ following tooth extraction, and describe alterations bone gingival epithelium when necrosis manifested. The aim present study was analyze rat mandibular during 45 days zoledronate (which a agent),...
In Literature fractures of the mandible that involve condyle ranges from 20% to 35% and various possible surgical options are described according varying pathological situations. Up present, numerous techniques have been used for treatment condylar fractures. this article we proposing combination two as therapy extra-capsular with dislocation.From June 2003 July 2007 30 patients were treated application a Rigid External Fixator under endoscopic assistance. This method includes reduction...
<p>Bone graft are used in dentistry for the reconstruction of severely atrophic jaws. Fresh frozen bone has no osteogenic property but it osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties because its matrix contains growth factors such as vascular endothelial factor. The purpose present study was to evaluate morphological protein expression characteristics fresh before after six months patients who needed maxillary reconstruction. After 6 month we observed presence viable evidenced by full...
Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is a rare but potentially severe condition, and etiopathology risk factors are poorly defined. The American Association Oral Maxillofacial Surgeons position paper on BRONJ update 2009 remarks all developing BRONJ. Local anatomy such as lingual tori, mylohyoid ridge or palatal areas with thin mucosa overlying bony prominences represent some these local factors. We have recently treated patient presenting mandibular involving rigid...
Schwannomas are peripheral nerve sheath tumors. Approximately 25% of extracranial schwannomas located in the head and neck district, but only 1% shows an intraoral origin. We report a case 28-year-old patient with tongue schwannoma. Morphologic analysis immunohistochemical findings strongly support diagnosis. Surgical treatment is discussed.
Lymphangioma is a benign, hamartomatous tumor of the lymphatic channels. It usually found in head and neck region. Most lymphangiomas are present at birth diagnosed infancy or early childhood. When lymphangioma occurs mouth, anterior two thirds tongue most commonly affected A risk secondary growth classically described after surgical reduction. In this paper, we 9 cases lymphangioma. We provide literature review
The authors report the case of a patient who sustained complex craniofacial trauma secondary to recreational fireworks blast. Initial assessment and management were performed with multidisciplinary approach achieve control cerebral hemorrhage, debridement wounds brain, isolation brain from external environment, reconstruction cranial base floor, orbital facial reconstruction. Modification multiple conventional approaches, along multispecialty surgical team, used deal effectively this unusual...
To evaluate non-invasively the morphological features of both lateral pterygoid muscle (LPM) and masseter by using diffusion tensor Imaging on two patients affected mandibular asymmetry.Two female with excess asymmetry who underwent Le Fort I osteotomy bilateral sagittal split were recruited for this study. Morphological (T1 weighted) weighted images acquired a 3T scanner 1 week before (T0) month after surgery (T1). Probabilistic tensor-based tractography reconstruction masseters LPMs was...
Rhabdomyomas are rare benign mesenchymal tumors distinguished in cardiac and extracardiac forms. Extracardiac rhabdomyomas classified as adult type, fetal the genital type. Adult mostly found head neck usually present a slow growth. We report case of patient with manifestation submandibular sublingual glands.
Eagle Syndrome (ES) is an often misdiagnosed syndrome due to its wide spectrum of signs and symptoms. Recent works have pointed out the relation between ES some types craniofacial pain with migraine or temporomandibular disorders. Moreover, presence Vascular as a cause Carotid Artery Dissection in same cases stroke well intracranial venous hypertension resulting other pains has been recently discussed. A multidisciplinary approach mandatory allow clinicians better understand pathophysiology...
Primary paranasal sinus lymphoma is a rare presentation of extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It less aggressive and carries relatively better prognosis. We describe patient with diffuse large B-cell the left ethmoido-orbital region.
Literature describes variable rates of diplopia associated with zygomatic maxillary complex (ZMC) fractures (6% to 40%). The aim this study was retrospectively assess the prevalence in ZMC fracture patients, usefulness orthoptic evaluation compared clinical finger-tracking examination, and seek possible relations symptom parameters. Data patients attending Maxillofacial Surgery Units University Messina Naples “Federico II”, between January 2012 December 2022 were retrieved. Statistical...
