Autotransplantation of teeth is a considerable option for tooth replacement in adults who are to undergo orthodontic treatment. Being compared with dental implantation, this procedure is more preferable as a grafted tooth functions as a normal one. In this case report, we describe successful autotransplantation of the third molar with complete root formation. To provide better adaptation of the donor tooth, we used its preoperatively printed replica. The donor tooth was immediately placed to the recipient site and splinted for 28 days. Endodontic treatment was initiated 2 weeks after transplantation. Clinical and radiographic findings at 6 and 12 months of follow-up are compared with the results described in the literature.Macroscopic fat inside an adrenal lesion on CT is pathognomonic for myelolipoma, a benign neoplasm. Without macroscopic fat, it can be difficult to discern the nature of an indeterminate adrenal mass on imaging. One possible diagnosis for an indeterminate lesion without macroscopic fat is an adrenal oncocytic neoplasm (AON). Despite its typical benign presentation cases of malignant AON have been reported. Patients with malignant AON are often not surgical candidates and survival for unresected disease is 20%-35%. We present the third report of an AON of uncertain malignant potential (AONUMP) associated with a macroscopic fatty component with the largest reported size and longest duration of follow-up in the literature. This report details diagnostic and therapeutic challenges posed by AONUMP. This case highlights how pathognomonic radiographical findings associated with benign myelolipoma might mask rare, potentially malignant, lipomatous tumours.A 60-year-old man presented with right third nerve palsy and headaches. Neuroimaging showed a pituitary lesion. There was evidence of rapid enlargement on interval scans, invasion of the cavernous sinus and displacement of the pituitary stalk. He subsequently developed anterior hypopituitarism. CT thorax, abdomen and pelvis did not show any evidence of malignancy. This was thought to be an aggressive pituitary macroadenoma but histology post-trans-sphenoidal surgery surprisingly showed metastasis from an undiagnosed prostate primary. His prostate specific antigen was raised and MRI pelvis confirmed locally advanced prostate cancer.A term, large for gestational age male newborn, was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit with meconium aspiration syndrome and severe hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy. The baby was treated with therapeutic hypothermia using a total body cooling blanket. After 48 hours, the baby developed tender, indurated subcutaneous nodules consistent with subcutaneous fat necrosis (SCFN). The lesions started initially over the back but gradually spread to cover both shoulders, upper arms, chest area and both thighs. On day 19 of life, multiple small nodules on the back softened and coalesced to form one sizeable fluctuant swelling over the thoracolumbar area. Over a few hours, the swelling rapidly progressed to a large, tense mass with sloughing of the gangrenous overlying skin. This unusual complication of SCFN required surgical intervention for evacuation and debridement of the haematoma followed by graft repair of the skin defect.Sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit (SCN1A) gene mutation is a rare disorder with a large spectrum of clinical presentations. Little is known regarding anaesthetic and analgesic management of these patients. click here We present a case of a child with SCN1A gene mutation that was successfully managed with an epidural for perioperative analgesia for an abdominal surgery.A 63-year-old woman with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A (MEN2A) presented with recurrent spells of headaches, sweats and palpitations decades after right adrenalectomy for phaeochromocytoma, and total thyroidectomy for medullary thyroid cancer. She was hypertensive and in sinus rhythm. DOTA-TATE positron-emission tomography (PET) demonstrated a 12mm enhancing left adrenal incidentaloma. 24 hours urine catecholamines, and multiple plasma metanephrine and normetanephrine measurements were all within normal reference ranges. Based on her symptoms and imaging findings, left adrenalectomy was performed and found a 40 mm phaeochromocytoma. Her symptoms have since completely resolved and plasma metanephrine is now undetectable MEN2-associated phaeochromocytomas are often bilateral and may be metachronous. Patients at high risk of phaeochromocytoma who develop symptoms of catecholamine excess should be carefully evaluated even if plasma or urinary metanephrines are within the normal reference range. Biochemical reference ranges for metanephrines need to be adjusted accordingly in patients who have had prior unilateral total adrenalectomy.Acute acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) requires prompt recognition and initiation of plasma exchange (PEX) therapy and immunosuppression. When PEX fails, mortality nears 100%, making finding an effective treatment crucial. Primary refractory TTP occurs when initial therapies fail or if exacerbations occur during PEX therapy, both signifying the need for treatment intensification to achieve clinical remission. Rituximab helps treat most of the refractory TTP cases, except those that are severely refractory. A paucity of studies guiding severely refractory TTP makes management arbitrary and individualised, highlighting the value of isolated reports. We present an extremely rare case of primary refractory TTP with an insufficient platelet response to numerous types of treatments, including emerging therapies such as caplacizumab, on the background of repeated PEX and immunosuppressive therapies.Aspergillus endocarditis (AE) is a rare condition with a mortality rate greater than 60%. While it is generally accepted that both antifungal therapy and surgery are necessary for survival, the optimal antifungal regimen is unclear. A 62-year-old man was diagnosed with AE of a prosthetic aortic valve, complicated by cerebral emboli. He underwent debridement of the aortic valve abscess and valve replacement, and was managed with a combination of liposomal amphotericin B and voriconazole for 7 weeks followed by long-term suppressive azole therapy. He remained well at follow-up 18 months later. Data from a review of case reports published between 1950 and 2010 revealed greater survival rates in patients managed with two or more antifungals as opposed to single agent therapy. We provide an updated literature review with similar findings, suggesting that dual agent antifungal therapy should be considered in patients with AE.
