Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Finding a black thyroid is unusual and disconcerting. It is usually induced by chronic minocycline therapy. To this day, no more than 100 cases have been published. Most patients remain asymptomatic and the diagnosis is made incidentally, normally a black thyroid is discovered macroscopically, in this case, we present a microscopically diagnosed black thyroid. A wide variety of causes should be taken into consideration before making the definite diagnosis.

Large and Long Standing Cavernous Hemangioma of Cheek
Authors: Verma Hitesh 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACTCavernous hemangiomas are relatively rare vascular malformations especially in an adult. The childhood hemangioma generally regresses spontaneously. We present the case report of a 52-year-old male patient, who had a hemangioma from the childhood and it had grown to such a large size so as to cause extreme cosmetic deformity for the patient. The long standing duration of almost 45 years and the extremely large size of the hemangioma make it a very rare case.How to cite this articleGupta N, Verma H.

Schwannoma of Oropharynx: A Rare Presentation
Authors: Nemade Hemantkumar Onkar , Jaiswal Subbalaxmi Atmaram , Borade Vidhyadhar Rudrappa 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACTSchwannomas are slow growing, encapsulated, solitary, benign tumors. They can arise from any myelinated nerve as they are tumors of neural sheath Schwann cells. Schwannoma seen in head and neck region are most commonly found in tongue, floor of mouth but rarely in oropharynx and tonsils. They are usually asymptomatic and rarely undergo malignant transformation. Schwannomas are considered radioresistant and recure less frequently after complete excision. Hence, complete surgical excision is treatment of choice. We are presenting a case of elderly female with oropharyngeal schwannoma completely extirpated transorally by dissection method by cold instruments. Due to rarity of presentation the surgical approach to this lesion is not well established. Following surgery the raw area created was well epithelized and patient relieved symptoms without significant morbidity. We conclude that this is a cost-effective and simple approach for management of other similar cases in future.How to cite this articleNemade HO, Jaiswal SA, Borade VR.

Suprastructure Maxillary Swing for JNA: A Novel Approach to avoid Complication
Authors: Yadav Vishav , Singh Chirom A , Hota Ashutosh , Gupta Madan P , Jat Bhinyaram 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACTJuvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a highly vascular tumor in which surgical excision is the main treatment modality. Wide exposure of the surgical field helps in complete surgical excision by subperiosteal dissection with a good vascular control. Conventional maxillary swing is a suitable approach for tumor with lateral extension. Palatal fistula is the major drawback of this approach. To avoid this complication, suprastructure maxillary swing is a suitable approach in which only the suprastructure of the maxilla needs to be swung instead of whole of the maxilla. The palatal cuts and lip split can be avoided with very little compromise in exposure.How to cite this articleSingh CA, Hota A, Gupta MP, Yadav V, Jat B.

Authors: Ashish Gaurav , Parmar Harshad , Mathew George A 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Schwannomas of head and neck are classically located in the parapharyngeal space; however, it is rarely located on the posterior pharyngeal wall. Posterior pharyngeal wall schwannomas are thought to originate from the sympathetic nerve plexus. Clinically, this may present as an asymptomatic mass with a constellation of symptoms ranging from globus sensation, dysphagia, to even airway compromise.
We present a rare case of posterior wall schwannoma. It concerns a young woman with a mass in the posterior wall of the pharynx causing globus sensation.

ABSTRACTTongue is an organ, i.e., constantly exposed to microbes and likelihood of trauma, yet does not usually show a predilection for developing an abscess. Cases of acute lingual swelling due to an abscess are unusual; hemorrhage, infarction, edema, and tumor being the commonly responsible etiologies. Herein, we report a case of glossal abscess that was chronic in nature (2 months’ duration), presenting with uncharacteristic symptoms and no remission on taking antibiotics. In the absence of typical signs, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provided an invaluable and accurate diagnosis, which allowed proper treatment to be rendered.How to cite this articleMishra I, Karjodkar F, Sansare K, Prakash N, Dora A, Goyal S.

Factors predicting Success of Vaginal Birth after Cesarean Section
Authors: Singh Uma , Verma Manju L , Nisha S , Sankhwar Pushpa L , Qureshi Sabuhi 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT

Aim
The aim of this article is to study the various factors that can predict the success of vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) section.

Materials and methods
A retrospective cohort study of deliveries was conducted from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2014 by the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in our hospital. Patients with previous low transverse cesarean section who had undergone a trial of labor were identified. Maternal inpatient and prenatal records were reviewed in all eligible subjects. During labor, uterine activity and fetal heart rate were monitored. When indicated, oxytocin or prostaglandin E2 was used for induction of labor according to Bishop score. Emergency cesarean delivery was considered in cases with the appearance of scar tenderness, fetal distress, nonprogress of labor, and deep transverse arrest.

Results
A total of 200 women were eligible for VBAC, but after written informed consent, 131 (65.5%) subjects were given trial of labor at term after one prior cesarean delivery among 3,604 deliveries while 69 (34.5%) subjects opted for elective repeat cesarean section. The overall VBAC success rate was 63.3% (76 of 120) in our study. History of spontaneous labor (p = 0.042) and history of previous vaginal delivery (p = 0.038) were found to be significantly associated with increased chance of success of VBAC, and lesser interdelivery interval was not found to be associated with decreased success rate (p = 0.096). Neither indication of previous cesarean nor birth weight of newborn (>3 kg) was found to be related to the success of VBAC.

Conclusion
Vaginal birth after cesarean section is a safe practice as long as it is offered with a proper selection of candidates with factors having a high success rate. Physicians need to be aware of factors having a good outcome before counseling mothers so that failure rates decrease and successful VBAC is increased.

Adult Granulosa Cell Tumor Associated with Endometrial Carcinoma
Authors: Baser Archana , Zaidi Alia K , Sanghvi Nikita 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Adult granulosa cell tumors account for approximately 1 and 2% of all ovarian tumors and 95% of all granulosa cell tumors. They occur more often in postmenopausal than in premenopausal women, with a peak incidence between 50 and 55 years of age. They are the most common estrogenic ovarian tumors diagnosed clinically. The typical endometrial reaction associated with functional tumors in this category is simple hyperplasia that usually exhibits some degree of precancerous atypicality. The incidence of associated endometrial carcinomas is under 5%, and most of these endometrial cancers are well-differentiated endometrioid adenocarcinomas that carry a good prognosis when detected early. We report the case of a 85-year-old woman with endometrial adenocarcinoma and adult granulose cell tumor of the ovary who presented with postmenopausal bleeding and adnexal mass. She underwent total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, infracolic omentectomy, and pelvic lymphadenectomy, and the specimen was submitted for histopathological examination. She had a good postoperative recovery and was discharged 5 days after treatment. The association between adult granulosa cell tumors of the ovary and endometrial carcinomas is rare. A high index of suspicion and good imaging and histopathologic analyses are important in making this diagnosis.

Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice of Contraception among Pregnant Women in Ende District, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia
Authors: Santoso Budi I , Surya Raymond 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT

Introduction
Indonesia has the fourth largest population in the world with 255.7 million people and a rate of birth of 21 per 1,000 population. There is also a high rate of unmet need and total fertility rate (TFR), which can potentially lead to unwanted pregnancies, consequently increasing the maternal mortality rate (MMR). Thus, family planning program through postpartum contraceptive use is one of the efforts to reduce the MMR and TFR. This study is conducted to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of contraception among pregnant women in Ende district.

Materials and methods
A cross-sectional study was carried out at three primary health centers in the main district of Ende from July to August 2015. A total of 305 pregnant women who completed questionnaires assessing their KAP of contraception were enrolled in this study. The data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 23.0 for Windows with Pearson or Spearman correlation tests.

Results
In this study, 86.53% of pregnant women were aware of family planning methods, among which the best known was injection (63.97%). Most respondents obtained information from health professionals (63.30%). More than half of the respondents agreed that contraception was beneficial and would recommend it to their families. The most prevalent reason for not wanting to use contraception in the future was the desire to have a child (44.59%). The total knowledge score was correlated with attitude and practice scores (p < 0.001).

Conclusion
More than half of respondents knew, agreed, and would like to recommend contraception. Primary health care providers play a major role in improving women's knowledge of family planning. To support the success of family planning, the government should emphasize on family planning education. In particular, there appears to be need for counseling about family planning for pregnant women.

Intrauterine Growth Restriction: Guidelines for the use of Obstetrical Ultrasound
Authors: Mandruzzato Giampaolo 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a major problem in perinatal medicine. It is the second cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity after prematurity and the two conditions are frequently associated. The principal cause of the poor perinatal outcome is represented by the chronic fetal hypoxemia (FCH) that occurs in 30 to 35% of IUGR fetuses. In order to improve significantly the clinical outcome a timely recognition and a proper management is fundamental. Today the method of choice for monitoring the fetal growth and detect any deviation is represented by serial fetal ulrtasound biometry. After suspicion or recogntion of fetal growth restriction it is necessary to assess the characteristics of the maternal-fetal exchanges in order to detedct or exlude the presence of chronic fetal hypoxemia.

Innovative Replication and Recuperation of Complex Torus Palatinus: A Prosthodontic Case Report
Authors: Rajeev Vini , Arunachalam Rajeev 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
The prevalence and morphological appearance of torus palatinus has been well documented in the literature. However, adequate literature regarding the precise impression technique and rehabilitation of edentulous maxillary arch with torus is less. Intraoral growths present challenges when trying to capture exact details for impressions starting from the primary to the final stage since the complete seating of conventional impression trays is not possible. In addition, the ability to withstand occlusal loading is compromised as the mucosa tends to be thin. As the extensions of these bony growths can vary, the design of the prosthesis should be optimal to give adequate retention and stability to the prosthesis. Although customized disposable trays are available, they are not cost effective and involve a complex armamentarium. This case report presents a modified impression technique where optimal accuracy was achieved with a design framework having better retention and stability of the final prosthesis.

ABSTRACTAimThe aim of this case report was to restore the esthetic smile of a patient with agenesis of maxillary right central incisor, while discussing the most important topics in a multidisciplinary approach.BackgroundDue to the absence or loss of some teeth in the anterior region, it becomes a challenge in oral rehabilitation. Restoration of function and esthetics may require a multidisciplinary treatment that can start with periodontal, orthodontic, surgical, implantology, or restorative evaluation.Case reportA 28-year-old patient with agenesis of the maxillary right central incisor was looking to improve the esthetics of his smile. The patient had right superior lateral incisor positioned in place of the central and the canine in the position corresponding to the lateral incisor, which compromised the dental and gingival esthetics. After analyses and digital smile design (DSD), surgeries for gingival smile correction, gingivectomy (teeth 12, 14, and 15), and gingival tissue grafts (tooth 13) were made. After a period of 2 months, preparations were made on teeth 12, 13, and 14 for ceramic laminates following the initial DSD. After 1 year of cementation, maintenance and stability of gingival margin, as well as the integrity of laminate ceramic were observed.ConclusionIn conclusion, a correct prior planning of esthetic rehabilitation is the best way to achieve excellent results to meet the needs and objectives of each patient. Often, a multidisciplinary treatment involving surgical and restorative procedures should be taken into consideration, with the appropriate choice of techniques and materials to be used.Clinical significanceThe treatment performed on the patient allowed the esthetic improvement of gingival architecture and installation of ceramic restorations with function and esthetics similar to natural teeth.How to cite this articleMascarenhas VI, Leandrin TP, Lorenzetti CC, de Castro CL, Saad JRC.

Authors: Kumari Karuna , Vineeth Kumar , Lalitha RM , Abraham Marin 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT

Aim
The aim of the study was to report a unique case of glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) in an unusual location of anterior maxilla.

Materials and methods
Considering the age, sex, and location of the lesion, a minimally invasive surgical procedure was opted considering esthetics, such as decompression followed by enucleation and fresh frozen bone (FFB) grafting. To arrive at the diagnosis, cytokeratin (CK)-19 was employed to differentiate from suspected intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma.

Results
With the evidence of pre- and post treatment histopathological changes, the lesion appeared less aggressive justifying the treatment executed.

Conclusion
Glandular odontogenic cyst is a locally aggressive jaw cyst, which has a high rate of cortical perforation and recurrence that poses both diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Clinical significance
Treatment of decompression, followed by enucleation may be considered as an effective option in comparison to aggressive surgical intervention.
