1/7. Central fibroma in the ascending ramus of the mandible. Case report.A case of central fibroma involving the mandible in a 58 year old woman is described. There was slight swelling of the left cheek and bone-hard bulging was detected on palpation but the patient had not complained of the swelling. The lesion was removed under general anaesthesia and then examined histopathologically. There was no sign of recurrence eleven months after the operation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = anaesthesia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/7. Anaesthesia of the right lower hemilip as a first manifestation of multiple myeloma. Presentation of a clinical case.multiple myeloma is a malignant proliferation of plasma cells. It may affect any of various bones, causing osteolytic lesions with a characteristic "punched out" radiographic appearance. The commonest symptom is bone pain. One of the most frequent locations is the mandible. Symptoms of multiple myeloma of the mandible include tumefaction, non-specific pain, tooth mobility and sometimes loss, and paraesthesia of the dental nerve. Here we report a case of multiple myeloma of the mandible which was unusual in that the presenting complaint was anaesthesia of the right lower hemilip.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = anaesthesia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/7. osteochondroma of the coronoid process.osteochondroma is the most common benign neoplasia of the skeleton. In the head it was been described in cranial base, posterior maxillary surface, maxillary sinus, and different mandibular areas like condyle, ramus, body and symphysis. osteochondroma of the coronoid process are rare. We present a review of the literature and the report of the cas of a 44 years old female patient presenting limited mouth opening and swelling of the left cheek, with diffuse limits, bony consistency, painless, and covered of normal skin. No temporomandibular joint disease was present. In panoramic radiographs was evident a coronoid tumor localized in the union of zigomatic arch and bone. Under general anaesthesia coronoidectomy was made, recovering mouth opening until 43 mm. The post-operative period was performed without complications. Histopatological examinations revealed normal trabecular bone covered with hyaline cartilage. The histopatological diagnosis was osteochondroma. Clinical and pathological aspects, treatment and differential diagnosis with other lesions are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = anaesthesia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/7. Metastatic breast carcinoma discovered in a dentigerous cyst - a case report.This paper reports a patient with a history of breast cancer, who presented with altered sensation to the right lower lip and chin. An orthopantomogram showed a probable dentigerous cyst associated with an unerupted lower wisdom tooth, which was closely related to the inferior dental canal. The tooth and cyst were enucleated under general anaesthesia. The subsequent histopathology report concluded that the cyst contained metastatic adenocarcinoma from a primary breast tumour.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = anaesthesia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/7. Central odontogenic fibroma. A report of two controversial cases illustrating diagnostic dilemmas.Two unusual cases of central odontogenic fibroma are described and used to illustrate differential diagnostic problems in this controversial group of lesions. The first case had a cystic lesion noted on routine radiography in the left ramus of the mandible. This particular case was unusual histologically as it showed in addition to typical areas of odontogenic fibroma a small inflamed cyst lined by epithelium containing many hyaline bodies. The second case presented with anaesthesia of the right lower lip and an enlarged chin prominence. The lesion was diagnosed as an odontogenic fibroma but with a somewhat unusual histological appearance in that there were abundant areas of osseous metaplasia throughout the lesion.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = anaesthesia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/7. Mental nerve anaesthesia as a result of mandibular metastases of prostatic adenocarcinoma.Three cases of mental nerve anaesthesia as a result of metastatic deposits from prostatic carcinoma are presented. They were referred to Consultant Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons by alert GDPs. This highlights the fact that dental surgeons must be aware that systemic illness may manifest in the mouth and appropriate referral is essential.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = anaesthesia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/7. Mental nerve dysfunction: a symptom of diverse mandibular disease.Paraesthesia and anaesthesia of the mental nerve may result from a variety of pathological conditions, and in persistent cases of orofacial sensory disturbance thorough clinical assessment, including CT scanning, is vital to exclude underlying systemic or neoplastic disease. This paper presents three patients with right mental nerve dysfunction, and reviews the aetiology of mental nerve paraesthesia and anaesthesia.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = anaesthesia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
