Diabetes insipidus caused by craniofacial trauma.

A patient is presented with diabetes insipidus secondary to craniofacial trauma. Diabetes insipidus can occur in any patient within ten days of craniofacial trauma. Even the masked disease in the unconscious patient can be diagnosed by observation of intake and output, urinary specific gravities, and appropriate chemical studies. The disease can recur following operative reduction of facial fractures. Diabetes insipidus can be successfully treated by intramuscular Pitressin and appropriate fluid intake.

Further experience with lateral wedge resection mammaplasties.

The lateral wedge resection method of reduction mammaplasty results in breasts with a single oblique radial scar in the outer quadrant, good contour, the nipples with sensation, erectile capacity and forward projection. It is suitable for cases of moderate enlargement and for ptotic breasts.

Subcutaneous mastectomy. The excess skin problem.

Subcantaneous mastectomy through a lateral approach, with preservation of the nipple and areola on a dermal pedicle, removing the excess skin at the time of aubautaneous mastectomy, is a safe procedure which results in esthetically acceptable breasts. The surgical approach greatly facilitates the removal of the entire glandular portion of the breast. The need for a second surgical procedure is eliminated. Lateral biopsy scars can be reinforced by the dermal sling support, thereby decreasing the chances of exposure of the implant. The implant is also successfully and easily held in position by the use of the dermal-fat sling support. The nipple and areola survive quite well on the dermal pedicle, with preservation of contractility and sensation, as well as of blood supply.
