Cavernous hemangiomas have a tendency of slow enlargement with subsequent complications such as ulceration and bleeding. We report a case of a large cavernous hemangioma affecting the median upper lip in an 11-year-old girl. The lesion was growing and painful on pressure. The patient felt stigmatized. Treatment was wished for by patient and parents. After careful examination including Doppler ultrasound, we suggested a combined approach. In the first step the lesion was coagulated with an intralesional neodymium-YAG laser using a blunt tip. In the second step, immediately after the action of the laser, the lesion was removed completely by surgery. Defect closure was realized with bilateral tissue-expanding vermillion myocutaneous flaps. The patient was followed-up to 5 months. Disfigurement and functional impairment were eliminated. The result was satisfying for both patient and parents. Vascular lesions of the upper lip-particularly when close to Cupid's bow-can become disfiguring and cause functional impairment. We propose a combined approach with intralesional neodymium-YAG laser photocoagulation to avoid bleeding and to shrink the lesion before complete surgical removal.

A 50-year-old male patient presented with polyarthritis increasing for 1 week and consequent inability to walk unaided. In addition, the patient had several isolated nodules on the lower extremities without any tenderness to pressure. Laboratory tests showed elevated pancreatic enzymes indicative of pancreatitis, which was thereafter confirmed by abdominal CT scan, with signs of chronic pancreatitis and concrements in the pancreatic duct. The diagnosis of panniculitis was established by dermatological consultation. Considering all these clinical features, PPP syndrome was diagnosed. In accordance with the pre-existing literature, oral glucocorticoid therapy and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) were given but failed to improve pain and polyarthritis. In the further clinical course, due to the persistent increase in lipase and amylase, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was performed, showing small concrements in the pancreatic duct. During the intervention, the pancreatic duct was widened, the small concrements were removed, and a pancreatic duct stent was then implanted. Following ERCP, an instant decrease in pancreatic enzymes was observed, accompanied by a clear and sustained improvement of joint swellings and pain. With the typical triad of clinical findings in mind, one should consider PPP syndrome in the context of acute or chronic pancreatitis as well as in pancreatic malignancies. All involved disciplines (gastroenterology, dermatology, and rheumatology) should be familiar with this rare but severe condition. The prognosis depends on the extent of the functional deficit of the extremities and the progression of the underlying disease.</p>","PeriodicalId":23882,"journal":{"name":"Wiener medizinische Wochenschrift","volume":" ","pages":"350-354"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142355306","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}

According to Al-Qanun Fi Al-Tibb, 42 medicinal plants are described as natural pest control agents. After introducing the pest control properties of each plant, Avicenna explained the appropriate strategies for use of these plants. These strategies or formulations included incensing, spraying, spreading, rubbing, smudging, and scent-dispersing, which are equivalent to the modern pesticide formulations of fumigants, aerosols, pastes and poisoned baits, lotions, creams, and slow-release formulations, respectively. This study revealed that Avicenna introduced the pest control approach with natural plants in his book Al-Qanun Fi Al-Tibb and, thus, harnessed the power of nature to control nature.
