Use of xenograft bone with aspirated bone marrow for treatment of cystic defect of the jaws.

Xenografts of Kiel bone in combination with autologous aspirated bone marrow were used to graft 20 cystic defects in the jaws. Sixteen cases (80%) were successful. Results were evaluated by clinical and radiographic follow-up of the patient up to 4 years (average 2.3 years) after surgery. Inability to create a water-tight closure followed by immediate secondary infection were considered as the causes for failure rather than rejection by the host.

Nodular fasciitis of the oral mucosa: light and electron microscopy study.

Nodular fasciitis of the oral mucosa is a rare lesion. The present article describes an additional case and discusses the difficulties in the histologic diagnosis. The final diagnosis is based on immunohistochemistry and electron microscopic morphology. Nodular fasciitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of swellings in the oral mucosa.

The role of interventional radiology in the management of intra- and extra-peritoneal leakage in patients who have undergone continent urinary diversion.

PURPOSE: To assess how radiologic intervention altered the hospital course of patients undergoing continent urinary diversion. METHODS: Thirty-seven consecutive patients with bladder cancer invading the muscular layer were treated with total cystectomy and construction of a continent urinary reservoir. Eleven of 37 patients suffered early and late anastomotic leakage; six had prolonged extraperitoneal leakage at the urethroenteric anastomosis, three had prolonged intraperitoneal pouch leaks, and two had delayed ureteroenteric leaks. Seven of these patients required radiologic intervention. RESULTS: Intervention in the form of drainage catheter manipulation (n = 4), percutaneous nephrostomy (n = 4), or ureteral stent placement (n = 2) resulted in cessation of leakage without surgical intervention in all seven patients. Intraperitoneal pouch leaks were more difficult to control than extraperitoneal leakage and required longer drainage intervals. CONCLUSION: Interventional radiologic procedures played a key role in the management of continent urinary diversion complications, obviating the need for repeat surgical intervention in all instances.

CT of cystic jaw lesions.

OBJECTIVE: Our goal was to compare the efficacy of CT with that of plain film radiography (PFR) in analyzing the three-dimensional shape and structure of cystic jaw lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty patients with cystic lesion of the jaw were studied by PFR and CT. The three-dimensional outline of the cyst and the distances between the cyst wall and adjacent vital teeth, cortical jaw bone, maxillary sinus, and mandibular canal were estimated on PFR and on CT scans. RESULTS: Computed tomography was superior to PFR in the demonstration of the three-dimensional bony margins of the cyst and in determination of its proximity to adjacent vital structures (p < 0.01, sign test). CONCLUSION: Application of CT is useful for diagnosis and treatment planning of cystic lesions of the jaws.

Impacted primary incisor: report of case.

Impaction of a primary incisor is very rare, with only one previous report in the dental literature. After surgical exposure, the case reported here had a normal course of eruption during follow-up.

Computed tomography in pediatric oral and maxillofacial surgery.

The use of computed tomography (C.T.) in the diagnosis and management of developmental and pathological conditions of the jaws in children was evaluated. CT was found to be superior to plain film radiography in estimation of the three-dimensional morphology of the abnormality in the jaws, in determining spatial relationship and proximity to vital structures. It is valuable by allowing accurate planning of the surgical procedure, estimation of the extent of the surgery and prediction of outcome as well as complications and prognosis. CT in the appropriate circumstances, is a very useful diagnostic tool in pediatric maxillofacial surgery. Tissue preservation and precision are of utmost importance, especially in children where many structures have not reached their final dimensions. Careful consideration should be given to risk benefit ratios due to higher exposure to radiation.
