Abstract

Foremost causes of originating shallow painful inflammations on the neck are: boils, carbuncle or infected dermoid cysts and atheroma. When remembering other possible inflammatory sources in this site we cont with insects bites through scarces in our environment. We report one case of spider's bite (Loxoceles rufecens) originating a necrotic neck cellulitis and remind also the several clinical symptoms of arachnid bites scarce in our environment.

Acute acquired comitant esotropia after orbital cellulitis.

Acute extraocular muscle restriction in children is a rare condition; orbital myositis is the most common cause. Most neuropathic or myopathic causes of strabismus present as an incomitant deviation. We report a case of orbital cellulitis preceding acute comitant esotropia in a patient showing no evidence of myositis or neurologic pathology.

Perineal cellulitis as a late complication of trans-obturator sub-urethral tape, Obtape.

The authors report the case of a perineal cellulitis occurring 10 months after the surgical treatment for stress urinary incontinence with a trans-obturator sub-urethral tape, Obtape (Porgès). This is a very rare complication related to a prolonged intra-vaginal tape exposure and infection that occurs after vaginal erosion, possibly due to tape rejection. This complication has been described with Obtape and with Uratape. The former lacks a sub-urethral silicone coated section that distinguishes it from Uratape. We still do not know much about the constituents of these types of sub-urethral tapes specially about their human tolerance, and we should therefore look at them carefully.
