Massive subfascial hematoma after alteplase therapy for acute myocardial infarction.

The authors report a case of a patient who received alteplase for acute myocardial infarction and developed spontaneous subfascial hematoma without any evidence of direct trauma. Subfascial hematoma remains a rare and self-limited complication of thrombolytic therapy. The development of cutaneous ecchymosis associated with a sudden fall in hemoglobin after the administration of alteplase should strongly suggest the possibility of diffuse subfascial hematoma. Physicians should be aware of the possible association between the use of alteplase and the development of subfascial hemorrhage.

Multiple fractures following camel bite of the face (a case report).

A rare case of multiple fractures following camel bite of the face in a young male, producing facial deformity and open bite is described. Fractures were confirmed by X-rays and CT scan. Treatment consisted of an open reduction and interosseous wiring of fractures to attain normal occlusion which was maintained by intermaxillary and suspension wire fixation followed by soft tissue repair. This corrected the open bite, collapse of maxillary arches and facial deformity. The behaviour of camels during rutting is briefly discussed.
