Oromaxillofacial Surgery

The maxillary nerve block (MNB) is a local anaesthetic technique used in dentistry and oromaxillofacial surgery, with recent popular use for minimising adverse reactions during rhinoscopy. A modified approach via the infraorbital foramen using an intravenous catheter has been recently described in the veterinary literature to minimise potential nerve block associated complications. This case report describes inadvertent arterial catheterisation using the aforementioned technique in a 5.4-kg, 9-year-old male neutered Maltese terrier cross that was presented for diagnostic workup of a chronic cough that had recently worsened. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first case report of such a complication. It is recommended for veterinary practitioners to be aware of accidental arterial puncture and catheterisation whenever a modified infraorbital approach to the MNB is performed in order to facilitate rapid intervention and management.

Introduction Schwannoma is a common intradural slow-growing, benign and encapsulated tumor that originates from the myelin sheaths of the nerve fibers. However, a lumbar schwannoma complicating the symptoms of spinal stenosis is an extremely rare association. Aim To describe the case of a woman presenting a lumbar schwannoma in association with spinal stenosis. Case Report A 53 year-old female was referred to neurosurgical evaluation due to the worsening of a lumbar pain that was irradiating to the left inferior leg along the anterolateral surface. A neurological examination revealed motor deficits for extension of the left leg and attenuation of the left patellar reflex. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed lumbar spinal stenosis due to flavum ligament hypertrophy and disc herniation in the L3L4 and L4L5 segments, and an expansive lesion with homogeneous contrast enhancement occupying the left neuroforamen of the L3L4 segment. The patient underwent surgical resection of the tumor and decompression of the stenotic segments with posterior screw instrumentation from L3 to L5. She presented an uneventful recovery and significant improvement of the lumbar pain, and was still free of symptoms 6 months after surgery. An anatomopathological examination defined the tumor as a schwannoma (Grade I – World Health Organization [WHO]). Conclusion The present study highlights that lumbar schwannoma is a possible etiology complicating the symptoms of patients with previous lumbar spinal stenosis. It is important to treat both pathologies to improve the patients' symptoms.

This clinical note describes a 47-year-old man who had a traumatic amputation of the left lower leg. Two months after wearing a Kondylen Bettung Miinster (KMB) prosthesis, he developed a compression neuropathy of the common peroneal nerve of his right leg after sitting cross-legged. This troublesome complication can be avoided by giving accurate information to the patient.

Changes in the subbasal corneal plexus detected by confocal cornea microscopy (CCM) have been described for various types of neuropathy. An involvement of these nerves within light-chain (AL) amyloid neuropathy (a rare cause of polyneuropathy) has never been shown. Here, we report on a case of a patient suffering from neuropathy caused by AL amyloidosis and underlying multiple myeloma. Small-fiber damage was detected by CCM.

Abstract The authors report the case of a 17-year-old girl who underwent excision of bilateral neurinomas of the cerebellopontine angle. Although her auditory evoked potentials were well maintained during the operation, they deteriorated gradually and progressively for the following 2 months. This seemed to reflect degeneration of the cochlear nerve fibers initiated by operative manipulation in the cerebellopontine angle in a patient who had no hearing when she awoke from surgery.

Authors of this report describe a Fukushima Type D(b) or Kawase Type ME2 trigeminal schwannoma involving the right maxillary division in a 59-year-old woman who presented with intermittent right-sided facial numbness and pain. This tumor was successfully resected via a right lateral orbitotomy without the need for craniotomy. This novel approach to a lesion of this type has not yet been described in the scientific literature. The outcome in this case was good, and the patient's intra- and postoperative courses proceeded without complication. The epidemiology of trigeminal schwannomas and some technical aspects of lateral orbitotomy, including potential advantages of this approach over traditional transcranial as well as fully endoscopic dissections in appropriately selected cases, are also briefly discussed.

Introduction Anesthesia of the maxillary nerve using an extraoral approach requires the preparation of the operative field, the use of long non-standard needles, and the procedure is very painful. Therefore an intraoral approach could have great advantages. Aim The aim of this paper was to present the intraoral approach to maxillary nerve anesthesia using a curved needle, having in mind that such a procedure is less traumatic to the patient and easy to perform. Method In order to achieve maxillary nerve anesthesia, the intraoral route with a curved needle was used. A standard disposable 10 ccm syringe was used with an intramuscular needle 22G 40 mm long, which was curved with the protective cap at the 90 degrees angle, starting from the midpoint of the needle. After broadening the chick with a blunt hook, the needle was placed behind and above the maxillary tuber. The curved part of the needle was in the coronl plane and perpendicular to the axis passing through the nasion in the ventral-dorsal direction. After passing through the pterygomaxillary fissure and the preventive aspiration, 4 ml of the Lidocaini hydrochloridi with adrenalini 1:200000 was injected. Results In indicated cases the procedure was conducted in 65 patients. The desired analgesia was achieved in the region of n. maxillaris, but additional infiltrative anesthesia was necessary in the incisor region. Conclusion Anesthesia of the maxillary nerve performed as described in this case report is a reliable and simple procedure that does not require additional equipment. Unlike the extraoral approach, it is easier to perform, more precise and comfortable for the patient.
