Contrast-enhanced computed tomography is generally recommended when pancreatic cancer is suspected. Herein, we present a case in which contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging was used to detect pancreatic cancer, while contrast-enhanced computed tomography and endoscopic ultrasonography were unable to reveal possible pancreatic cancer. Case Report: We present a case of a man in his 70s whose diabetes had worsened, and the main pancreatic duct was dilated, with suspicion of pancreatic cancer. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography did not reveal a tumor that indicated possible pancreatic cancer, and endoscopic ultrasonography exhibited similar findings. Therefore, 3 Tesla-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging was performed to make an image diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Conclusion: In lesions exhibiting invasive growth accompanied by prominent fatty change in the pancreatic body, obtaining the contrast effect of adipose tissue by contrast computed tomography is difficult. In addition, an association between prominent fatty change in the pancreatic body and pancreatic cancer has been reported. Therefore, we performed 3 Tesla-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging examination, which tends to yield favorable tissue contrast on adipose tissue images.","PeriodicalId":13833,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Case Reports and Images","volume":"31 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139172619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 disease, the incidence of fungal infections like mucormycosis has increased. In mucormycosis, after surgical debridement, the defects that result are different from other maxillary defects. In terms of functional and aesthetic rehabilitation there are several treatment options for patients with maxillectomy defects. Amidst all, zygomatic implants are more favorable and viable solution for the above-mentioned defects. Since there is a scarcity in literature on the use of zygomatic implants in such cases, we presented a case report using the utmost advantage of these implants in rehabilitation of maxillary defects. Case Report: In the present case report, a 38-year-old male patient presented with an absence of the maxillary alveolar bone and anterior nasal spine and minimal presence of hard palate. Such type of maxillary defect following mucormycosis was managed with quad zygomatic implants with computer-guided approach. Conclusion: Thus, the author concluded through this case report that a severe maxillectomy defects can be managed well with the zygomatic implants. In the present article, the author preferred to perform under guide in order to avoid errors while placement of implants. Hence, proper diagnosis with definitive surgical approach can help in achieving precise treatment outcome and establishing patient’s self-esteem.","PeriodicalId":13833,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Case Reports and Images","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139228548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Other causes include iatrogenic procedure involving the cardiopulmonary area. It causes respiratory distress which can be severe requiring prolonged need for respiratory support. Recovery can be spontaneous, typically by the first 6–12 months of life though some infants may require surgical intervention if no improvement in DP is noted by 1–2 months of life in the setting of compromised quality of life. Case Report: We present a preterm infant, 31 completed weeks of gestational age, birth weight 1440 g born via emergency C-section due to preterm labor in breech presentation. During delivery, the patient suffered a left brachial plexus injury with phrenic nerve involvement. He developed respiratory distress requiring endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation. His clinical course involved multiple failed extubation attempts. Chest X-ray (CXR) and chest fluoroscopy confirmed the diagnosis of left hemi-diaphragmatic paralysis. The patient had a prolonged respiratory support course but was finally weaned to room air by three months of age. Conclusion: Preterm infants can sustain perinatal brachial plexus injury like term or near-term infants in the setting of a traumatic birth irrespective of birth weight. The time and indications for conservative (non-surgical) versus surgical intervention remains debatable. Each case should be tailored to the child’s severity of injury and quality of life and growth. Clinical recovery can occur even with considerable persistence weakness on radiography or chest ultrasound.","PeriodicalId":13833,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Case Reports and Images","volume":"61 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139252112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Transformation into squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma can occur. Clinical examination, radiological examination, and pathological confirmation are necessary for diagnosis and the treatment of choice is usually surgical excision. Case Report: A 57-year-old Syrian female patient presented to our hospital with a huge mass on the back. Computed tomography revealed a subcutaneous huge mass 25.0 × 20.0 × 9.0 cm extended from cervical vertebrae level into upper lumbar vertebrae. Surgery with the intent of wide and complete excision was performed but it was difficult to obtain complete excision of tumor because of extension into the deep muscles. The diagnosis was made by histopathologic examination. It was a malignant transformation into squamous cell carcinoma arising from the epidermoid cyst. The patient received radiotherapy after surgery because of incomplete excision of tumor. Conclusion: This case shows an unusual presentation of a huge epidermoid cyst on the back with transformation into malignancy. We aimed to highlight the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of these cysts.","PeriodicalId":13833,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Case Reports and Images","volume":"1 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139263176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is often diagnosed after its externalization. It is a serious infection, whose ocular and endocranial complications can jeopardize the visual and vital functional prognosis. The treatment is essentially medical based on the combination of antibiotics. Case Report: Description of a case of ethmoiditis in a 3-year-old child consulting for eyelid edema that progressed within five days. The general condition was altered by a fever of 38.5°C, with an unwell appearance and left eyelid edema with a tendency to reduction of the eyelid fissure was noted. The ear, nose, throat (ENT) examination showed left perinasal swelling affecting the nasal pyramid, the zygomatic arch, and the left periorbital region. The left nasal cavity was of reduced caliber with the presence of mucopurulent secretions through the ipsilateral nostril orifice. Acute externalized ethmoiditis was made as a clinical diagnosis. The clinical evolution was good under antibiotic therapy for 15 days with parenteral ceftriaxone which will be relayed by amoxi-clavulanic ac orally on the seventh day; parenteral metronidazole with a PO relay on the fifth day; parenteral dexamethasone and paracetamol for five days; argyrol nasally for seven days. Conclusion: Acute ethmoiditis remains an infantile pathology with multiple neighborhood and remote complications, including periorbital and endocranial cellulitis involving vital and visual prognosis.","PeriodicalId":13833,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Case Reports and Images","volume":"7 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134992009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
