Particularly, the presence of pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia might, in some cases, lead to the hypothesis of squamous cell carcinoma. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Recurrence has been reported in up to 15% of cases treated with conventional surgery. Here, we reported a case of GCT of the tongue in a young female patient, which was successfully treated through 445 nm diode laser excision. Laser surgery might reduce bleeding and postoperative pain and may be associated with more rapid healing. Particularly, the vaporization effect on remnant tissues could eliminate GCT cells on the surgical bed, thus hypothetically leading to a lower rate of recurrence. In the present case, complete healing occurred in 1 week, and no recurrence was observed after 6 months. Laser surgery also allows the possibility to obtain second intention healing.

Ravi Nagaprasad1, Aavula Muralidhar2 1,2Associate Professor, Department of Anesthesiology, Niloufer Hospital for Women and Child, Osmania Medical Collage, Hyderabad, Telangana 500095, India. Abstract Background: Ano­rectal malformation is a common anomaly seen in newborns and is associated with multiple anomalies like renal, vertebral, muscular and cardiac. Associated cardiac anomalies determine the morbidity and mortality of newborn. It is mandatory to properly evaluate the child for cardiac anomalies in children with ARM. Objective: The aim of the study is to evaluate the incidence of associated cardiac anomalies in thenew­borns with Ano­rectal malformation admitted ina tertiary care centre. Method: Total number of Ano­rectal Malformation admitted from June 2017 to May 2018 in our hospital was recorded. All cases after examination and evaluation were classified into Low ARM and High ARM. All cases after preoperative evaluations and basic haematological tests were taken for emergency colostomy or cut back anoplasty. Patients during postoperative period were performed echocardiogram for cardiac evaluation. Total number newborns with ARM having associated cardiac anomalies were determined. The incidence of cardiac anomalies in two types of ARM was determined. Results: Total number of newborns with ARM admitted for sugery in the period of June 2017 to May 2018 were 182. Out of which 21 cases were having congenital cardiac anomalies (11.53%).

  • On the Inheritance of Hand and Foot Anomalies in Six Families

    On the Inheritance of Hand and Foot Anomalies in Six Families

    On the Inheritance of Hand and Foot Anomalies in Six Families OLA JOHNSTON AND RALPH WALDO DAVIS Department of Biology, North Texas State College, Denton, Texas INTRODUCTION Malformations of the hands and feet are common and of many kinds. Ac- cording to Gates (1946) there probably are more abnormalities of the hands and feet than of any other part of the body, with the exception of the eye. It is true that some hand and foot anomalies are the result of accident and disease but it is equally true that many are the result of variation in heredity. The extent to which the latter is true and the mode of inheritance of those variations which have some genetic basis are questions which are not com- pletely answered. Hence when an opportunity presented itself to study a number of different hand and foot anomalies which appeared to have a he- reditary basis, it seemed worthwhile to investigate them and to present the findings. The malformations which are included are syndactyly and split hand and foot, polydactyly, and brachydactyly. Each will be considered more or less independently and in the order indicated. A BRIEF REVIEW OF LITERATURE 1. Syndactyly and Split Hand and Foot Syndactyly is the condition in which two or more fingers or toes are adherent or are more or less completely grown together. Split hand and foot (also called lobster claw) is a deformity in which the central digits of the hands and/or feet are lacking. It may represent an extreme variant of syndactyly. According to Lewis (1909) a description of split hand and foot is difficult because of the great variation in the deformity even within the same family.

Long-term outcome and aspects of secondary treatment. Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Medicine 1065. 109 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-554-9140-6. Faecal incontinence (FI) is defined as the inability to control bowel movements. The causes of FI are many and diverse. One of the more uncommon reasons for FI is Anorectal Malformations (ARMs). An ARM is a congenital anomaly that affects somewhere between 1/2500 and 1/5000 live born babies. Many ARM patients have persistent FI. Several different procedures have been utilised to address this issue. This thesis aims to evaluate (1) the long-term outcome in adulthood of ARMs in relation to the modern Krickenbeck classification, and (2) scope for treating FI with transanal injection with dextranomer in non-animal stabilised hyaluronic acid (NASHA/Dx), in patients both with and without ARMs. All patients treated for ARMs in Uppsala up to 1993 were invited to participate in a questionnaire study of quality of life and function.
