Facial skin wounds are common problems seen and treated by emergency centers around the world. Among all wounds, cat and dog bites are frequently seen. Human bite injuries are both deceptive and difficult in their presentation and management. The injuries have a disfiguration effect with possible psychological impact on the patient.
The aim of this paper is to compare experience with human bites of the face in our surgical unit, with other similar trials in term of reasons for the circumstances of injuries, age, and sex of the patients, site of injury, pan-time between consultation and treatment, incidence of infection and surgical management.
Data in terms of age, gender distribution, circumstances of injury, location of injuries, evolution of surgical management and complications were recorded.
We report here a series of 10 cases of human bite wounds to the face, admitted to our department, and treated with different reconstruction procedures.
Introduction
The parotid gland is a very rare location of Ewing's sarcoma. Its clinical and radiological manifestations are atypical. Its management is based on a multidisciplinary approach to improve prognosis and survival.
Discussion
The diagnosis of parotid Ewing's sarcoma is determined by a combination of genetic and histological criteria. Its local aggressiveness and high metastatic potential require prompt and appropriate management. Many prognostic features affect its management, the most important is the TNM staging.
Conclusion
Limited cases of parotid Ewing's sarcoma have been published in the literature. This small number of reported cases is the only way to study its characteristics.
Introduction
Hyponatremia is one of the most common water–electrolyte imbalances in the human organism. This disorder is usually secondary to various diseases, including infections. The syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) is among causes of hyponatremia in critical care. It can be induced by a variety of conditions, including atypical lung disease.
Discussion
The COVID-19 infection is associated with multiples metabolic disorders. However, hyponatremia associated with SIADH and Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is not a usual clinical situation, but it was recently mentioned in a few case reports.
Conclusion
We discuss a unique case of an acute symptomatic hyponatremia and SIADH, attributed to COVID-19.
