Hyperbaric oxygen in the adjunctive treatment of chronic osteomyelitis of the mandible: report of case.

A case of chronic osteomyelitis has been presented to show the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen in treatment of this disease. Surgical intervention is needed, as are adequate cultures, even though the cultures may be difficult to obtain and identify. Because the antibiotic therapy may need to be changed during the course of the disease, the selection of antibiotics should be dictated by positive cultures as well as the clinical course. Antibiotic therapy is needed for four to six weeks after abatement of symptoms.

Cushing's syndrome associated with the intradermal injection of triamcinolone diacetate.

A case of long-term Cushing's syndrome after intradermal injection of 160 mg of triamcinolone diacetate has been presented. The evidence of whether this decrease occurred secondary to the intradermal injections of triamcinolone diacetate or to exogenous abuse is not clear. However, because of the extensive use of intradermal steroids in the treatment of keloids as well as other lesions, this case is significant, whatever the cause. Further study is being accomplished and the final results will be reported by the endocrinology service, Wilford Hall Medical Center, in a follow-up article.

Multiple nervoid basal cell epithelioma, cysts of the jaw, and bifid rib syndrome: report of case.

A case of mutiple nevoid basal cell epithelium, cysts of the jaw, and bifid rib syndrome has been reported because of the large number of positive findings in a single patient. Symptoms were a simple manner with slow learning ability, frontal bossing, wide nasal root, hypertelorism, large superciliary ridge, deep-set eyes, bifid uvula, dentigerous keratocyst of the mandible, pectus excavatum, bilateral shortened metacarpals, multiple basal cell nevi, bilateral palmar pitting, hemivertebrae C2-3 and C7-T1, several bifid ribs, calcification of the falx cerebri, bridging of the sella turcica, and an open frontal suture.
