Schwannoma or neurilemmoma is a benign tumour arising from the nerve-sheath, with spinal nerve roots being the most common primary location. Though neurogenic tumours are common in the mediastinum, primary neurogenic tumours arising from lung parenchyma are very rare. Here we report a case of a primary lung schwannoma and its management.
The prevalence of anomalous origin of coronary artery in tetralogy of Fallot has been reported to be around 4% to 6%. The association of high takeoff of the right coronary artery from the distal part of the ascending aorta in tetralogy of Fallot in the presence of a partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) to the left superior caval vein draining into the left atrium is not known to the best of our knowledge. We herein describe such a case when the anomalous right coronary artery and the PAPVC were detected incidentally during intracardiac repair; signifying the importance of a thorough assessment of the anatomy before surgery.
Introduction: Split skin grafting is widely used surgical procedure for the treatment of ulcers. Graft survival depends on number of factors like vascularity, wound infection etc. diabetes is associated with endothelial dysfunction, neuropathy, wound infection which collectively affect the graft survival.
Aim:To compare the amount of graft uptake, the post operative complications and survival of split thickness skin graft in diabetic and non diabetic wound management.
Materials and Methods:In our prospective nonrandomized comparative study total 104 patients with ulcer were included of which 52 were diabetic and 52 were non-diabetic. All of them underwent split skin grafting as part of their wound management. Comparison was made between two groups in terms of amount of graft uptake, post operative wound infection, re-ulceration, revisional surgery, donor site infection.
Left ventricular free wall rupture (LVFWR) can occur after myocardial infarction. Sometimes LVFWR can be contained by a pericardium leading to the formation of the pseudoaneurysm. In view of the high tendency to expand and rupture an urgent surgery is indicated. We experienced a rare case of giant left ventricular apical pseudoaneurysm which was successfully managed with surgical intervention.
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.
