JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF HEAD NECK & SPINE SURGERY Abstract Orbital roof fractures are rare. These fractures are usually associated with high velocity impact and polytrauma, and if misdiagnosed, can have serious complications. This case demonstrates that orbital roof fractures can be easily missed from plain film radiographs and that clinical history and signs are of paramount importance in assessing these cases. This case also emphasizes the importance of multidisciplinary approach in trauma care. Keywords: Frontal lobe abscess; Orbital roof fracture; Polytrauma Introduction Orbital roof fractures are usually associated with high impact trauma, accounting for approximately 1-9% of all maxillofacial fractures [1]. These fractures are mostly associated with other injuries in frontobasal trauma [2], although infants have a relatively high incidence of orbital roof fractures because of absent pneumatisation of the frontal sinus [3]. These ...

JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF HEAD NECK & SPINE SURGERY Abstract An 86-year-old woman underwent bronchoscopy after developing aspiration pneumonia. She was found to have a tumor of the tongue base and was referred to our department. Fiberscopy revealed a pendulous mass at the tongue base. On computed tomography, a smooth pendulous mass (2cm × 1.7cm) was seen at the base of the tongue, with no deep invasion. The biopsy report indicated possible mucoepidermoid carcinoma. The risk of surgery was high due to her age and co-morbidities, so the patient and her family did not agree to resection of the tumor. Aspiration pneumonia recurred several times over several months, after which she could not take anything orally and became bedridden for weeks. To improve her quality of life by minimally invasive surgery, the tumor was excised transorally under general anesthesia. The pathological diagnosis was pleomorphic adenoma, and the surgical margins were negative...

JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF HEAD NECK & SPINE SURGERY Introduction The natural history of syringomyelia is highly variable. In some cases, patients do improve or stabilize without surgery, while others deteriorate even with aggressive interventions. Various surgical procedures for the treatment of syringomyelia have been introduced, including posterior fossa decompression, syringostomy, syringoperitoneal shunting. But even though satisfactory results have been reported for most of these procedures, some authors have been critical of these techniques. Through this paper, we will try to make our contribution by reporting the results we have got after surgical management of 6 patients operated for syringomyelia by syringo-subarachnoid shunt using T-Tube. Methods Patients The mean age of our patients was 55.4 years. Etiologies of our patients’ syringomyelia are various: only one patient had post traumatic syringomyelia (6 years after trauma). ...
