Sialolithiasis is a disease that affects the salivary glands. It is characterized by the presence of calcified structures within the duct system or within the glandular parenchyma. Those calculi, or sialoliths, can obstruct normal salivary flow, potentially leading to infectious sialadenitis, with pain, local swelling, and purulent discharge. Treatment typically consists of the surgical removal of the calculus, often in conjunction with sialoadenectomy. The authors report an atypical case of bilateral submandibular gland sialolithiasis treated conservatively, using intra-oral access to remove the calculi.
Este artigo, considerando a importancia do descarte correto dos resíduos eletrônicos, nos leva a um novo olhar de forma colaborativa para a reflexão dos atores organizacionais, visando a consientização e redução do impacto do descarte incorreto dos resíduos eletrônicos. Desta forma, este artigo tem como objetivo geral, analisar de que forma ocorre o descarte de resíduos eletrônicos urbanos. Os objetivos específicos são verificar quais ferramentas são utilizadas para gerir a destinação dos resíduos, descrevendo sobre conceitos e impactos; e analisar a legislação, quanto ao descarte correto de resúdos eletrônicos. A pesquisa bibliográfica, viabilizou a confirmação da hipótese de que a ausência de informação acarreta na disposição incorreta dos resíduos eletrônicos . Os resultados obtidos com a pesquisa atenderam aos objetivos propostos e confirmaram a hipótese deste artigo.
Descending necrotizing mediastinitis is a rare type of deep infection of the soft tissues of the face, originating from cervical and oral infections, typically dental infections. It is associated with high mortality, due to its high invasive potential and the fact that the diagnosis is often delayed. We report the case of a 42-year-old female patient presenting with severe trismus, fever, purulent intraoral drainage, dysphagia, and dysphonia, accompanied by edema and redness in the cervical region. She was diagnosed with necrotizing descending mediastinitis secondary to a dental infection after the extraction of a mandibular third molar. The patient underwent surgical drainage and intravenous antibiotic therapy. Despite the development of septicemia, the evolution was favorable and the patient was discharged on post-admission day 20. Early and accurate diagnosis, together with prompt treatment, is imperative for better outcomes in this rare condition.
Lipoma of the tongue is an uncommon benign tumor, being even more rare when there are multiple lesions. Lipoma accounts for 1-5% of all oral neoplasms. Lipoma occurs predominantly in males over the age of forty, although, in rare cases, children can be affected. Here, we report an unusual case of a female patient with bilateral lingual lipomas that were treated through surgical excision.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
