Background: Cleft lip and palate (CLP) is a case of craniofacial congenital abnormalities that are often found by plastic surgeons. Successful management requires good surgical techniques, deep understanding of anatomical abnormalities and three-dimensional aspects of facial aesthetics. The Alveolar bone graft (ABG) aims to unite and stabilize Maxilla before definitive orthodontic action and restoration of dental care. The use of bone grafts in the surgical field is often done, aimed at maximizing the process of bone healing. Autogenous bone graft is the gold standard bone graft material because it contains all the properties needed in bone formation. The iliac crest bone graft (ICBG) is the most commonly used donor. Bromine bone graft (BBG) is increasingly being used as a substitute for autogenous bone graft. The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in the effect of the percentage of defect closure between CNG and ICBG on the closure of defects in ABG. Subjects and Method:The retrospective cohort study was conducted at Dr. Moewardi and Panti Waluyo Hospitals, Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia, from February to April 2018. The dependent variable was bone defect closure. The independent variables were bovine bone and iliac crest bone grafts. The data were analyzed by Mann-Whitney. Results: Most patients after ABG surgery have a percentage of bone defect closure of 75-100% with bone resorption of 0-25% and include type I Bergland scale, where ICBG (66.7%) tends to be better than BBG (55.6%), but statistically not significant (p value = 0.678). Conclusion:There is no difference in the effect of the percentage of defect closure between CNG and ICBG on the closure of defects in ABG. ICBG tends to give a better percentage of defect closure than CNG, but it is not statistically significant.
Background: Neurocysticercosis is the most common parasitic disease of nervous system in humans and the single most common cause of acquired epileptic seizures in the developing country. But in Indonesia, it was rarely reported. It has wide variety of clinical manifestation due to its pleomorphic nature. Subjects and Method: We reported a case of a 12 years old male with seizure and hydrocephalus due to intraventricular neurocysticercosis. A ventriculoperitoneal shunt (V-P shunt) performed to reduce the intracranial pressure due to hydrocephalus and followed by endoscopic surgery to taking sample of the neurocysticercosis and reducing the mass. Results: Pathological anatomy examination of excised mass found worm eggs. The patient received medications of albendazole and metil prednisolon. Conclusion: Intraventricular neurocysticercosis causing hydrocephalus is the commonest surgical indication, with V-P shunt placement followed by endoscopic surgery as the procedure of choice as it minimally invasive.
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.
