Notes

The actual mechanism root dibutyl phthalate induced reduced anogenital range as well as hypospadias within subjects.
There were also no significant differences in CCT and IOP before and after surgery in the unaffected eyes.

Mean CCT peaked at 12 months, and the mean IOP remained normal in both the aphakic and pseudophakic eyes during this study. CCT and IOP were positively correlated, regardless of the phakic status or age, a relationship which suggests that both parameters should be monitored closely in postsurgical patients for up to 12 months and in this time, may impact the ability to diagnose glaucoma.

To report endotheliitis as an early, key presenting sign of Acanthamoeba keratitis in patients who are soft contact lens wearers.

We report 4 cases of patients presenting with pain, red eye, and reduction in vision in the context of soft contact lens wear. On examination, the predominant clinical finding was that of endotheliitis, localized fusiform stromal edema with corresponding keratic precipitates, anterior chamber inflammation, and minimal epithelial and anterior stromal signs. The classical signs of Acanthamoeba keratitis were not present.

All 4 cases were clinically diagnosed as Acanthamoeba endotheliitis; corneal scrapes were negative; case 1 was polymerase chain reaction positive, and case 3 underwent confocal microscopy that showed double-walled cysts, suggesting Acanthamoeba. All responded well to anti-Acanthamoeba medication alone with 3 cases achieving complete resolution with minimal anterior stromal scarring by 7 weeks. Case 1 had steroid treatment before being seen at our unit and had a prolonged course of treatment with complete resolution by 4 months.

It is imperative to have a high index of suspicion for Acanthamoeba in patients presenting with pain and endotheliitis in the context of contact lens wear, even in the absence of classical signs.

Spread of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) into the brain parenchyma is a very rare complication of Ommaya reservoir placement and can take form of CSF edema or an intraparenchymal pericatheter cyst. Herein, we described an extremely rare case of a progressive enlarging intraparenchymal pericatheter cyst and CSF edema in a patient with cerebral cysticercosis following Ommaya reservoir placement. A heightened index of suspicion of this rare complication is required to prevent misdiagnosis as a tumor or brain abscess that may lead to unnecessary surgical explorations.

To evaluate the implementation of a clinical pathway (CP) and identify clinical factors affecting the CP for cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients.

A specific CP for CLP patients was developed at CLP Medical Center of Stomatological Hospital affiliated to Nanjing Medical University in 2008. The authors reviewed the collected data of 1810 consecutive patients using the CP for repairing cleft lip, cleft palatal, and alveolar cleft. The patients were treated between January 2008 and December 2019. The rate of completion and risk factors affecting dropout from the CP were analyzed.

The completion rates of the CP in cleft lip, cleft palate and alveolar cleft patients were 68.3% (n = 345), 82.4% (n = 785) and 76.1% (n = 268), respectively. The overall completion rate was 77.2% (n = 1398). The main reasons for dropping out were pre-operation events (n = 212, 11.7%) and post-operation events (n = 188, 10.4%). Among the factors of dropout of CP, laboratory test abnormalities accounted for the majority of pre- and post-operation events (n = 179, 9.9%). In statistical analysis, the combined abnormities and events associated with operations were significant risk factors affecting the dropout rate from CP.

The use of CP for CLP patients was reliable but the completion rate was relatively low because of perioperative events. These results provided some evidence of risk factors which should be considered when modifying the protocol of CP for CLP patients in order to achieve higher completion rate.

Craniofacial anomalies are congenital disorders that affect the cranium and facial bones, with cleft lip and palate being the most common. These anomalies are often associated with abnormal development of pharyngeal arches and can result in the development of class III malocclusion and severe maxillary retrusion. Current treatment includes orthodontic decompensation and Le Fort I osteotomy to correct the maxillomandibular relationship. However, the traditional Le Fort I (LFI) advancement does not fully address the lack of skeletal volume in the midface. The high winged Le Fort I osteotomy (HWLFI) is an excellent surgical option for simultaneous correction of the midface deficiency and malocclusion while restoring optimal esthetic convexity. A retrospective chart review was conducted to include all cleft and craniofacial patients who underwent HWLFI advancement from 2002 to 2018. Patients had a minimum of 12 months of follow-up. Patient data and complications were reviewed. Standardized facial photographs wedface. Forty-three patients met the inclusion criteria. The mean age at surgery was 18.9 years. The mean follow-up was 32 months. Early complications included infection (9.3%) and temporary nerve paresthesia (2.3%). Late complications included infection (6.5%), wound dehiscence (4.3%), and painful hardware (2.3%). One patient (2.3 percent) had clinically significant relapse that required surgery. Postoperatively, patients demonstrated excellent midface projection and correction of the skeletal malocclusion. The HWLFI advancement significantly improves both the malocclusion and esthetic concerns of cleft and craniofacial patients by reestablishing maximal midfacial support. Important advantages of the HWLFI are avoidance of alloplastic implant use and extensive and potentially unstable surgical procedures that increase orbital volume.In this report, we present our experience with the VITOM 3D system for parotid gland surgery. A retrospective review of 9 consecutive VITOM 3D-assisted parotidectomies was carried out. All of the cases included had benign pathology. Eight of the tumors were in the superficial lobe whereas one case arose in the deep lobe. Superficial parotidectomy type II, according to the ESGS classification, was performed in 5 cases (55.6%) type I-II in 2 cases (22.2%), type I and III in 1 case respectively (11.1%). The postoperative period was uneventful for all of the patients, and no cases of postoperative temporary or definite facial nerve palsy or other complications were reported. The mean operating time was 145 minutes (range 135-165 minutes). Asthenopia never occurred, and there were no cases in which the first surgeon, the assistants, or the nurses needed to interrupt the 3D vision. VITOM 3D has been demonstrated to be safe and effective for parotid gland surgery. The main advantages of VITOM 3D are improved visualization, ergonomics, versatility, training, and education. The drawbacks are related to asthenopia and the learning curve, even though, in our experience, the impact of these factors is minimal.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the functional and esthetic results of marginal mandibulectomy for mandibular cancer using a lateral approach with a simple, straightforward mouth corner incision.

Six mandibular cancer patients (2 men, 4 women; age range 65-80 years; mean age, 73.1 years; all stage I) were treated using this approach. With this approach, the surgical field was widely exposed, and mandibulectomy was performed with sufficient surgical margins. Intraoperative frozen specimens of remaining tissues showed no malignancy in all cases. In all 6 patients, follow-up imaging assessments were obtained, with no local recurrence after 12 to 78 months.

An overall functional, physical, and esthetic assessment of oral behavior and oral appearance was made of all patients by the FACT-H&N questionnaire, which showed that functional lip behavior and esthetic lip appearance were not much affected by the present surgical approach, and good quality of life was maintained. Thus, the lateral approach with the mouth corner incision is an effective and useful alternative for the molar part of mandibulectomy.

Roberts syndrome (RBS) is a rare craniofacial anomaly associated with tetraphocomelia, growth and mental retardation, cardiac and renal abnormalities. The RBS is caused by homozygous mutation in the ESCO2 gene on chromosome 8p21. In this report, the authors describe a 5-year-old female infant with RBS and bilateral cleft lip and cleft palate, an extremely rare condition.

Lips are an important unit of the lower face. In the literatures, not so many augmentation methods are seen except the fat graft, filler material, alloplastic prosthesis, fascia grafts. Each one has both advantages and disadvantages. The most valuable method for lip augmentation should be minimally invasive, low cost, and resistant to resorption. The authors are presenting different and novel graft material for lip augmentation. PKR-IN-C16 mw The method has some important advantages such as both long lasting result and no cost, and not any donor area morbidity.
