Treatment of a Large Traumatic Encephalocele with Titanium Mesh
This article sought to report on a rare case of traumatic encephalocele associated with an extensive defect of the anterior skull base. This case was treated via transcranial access, and reconstruction was performed using titanium mesh in conjunction with a pericranium flap.[...]Thieme Medical Publishers 333 Seventh Avenue, New York, NY 10001, USA.Article in Thieme eJournals:Table of contents  |  Abstract  |  Full text (Source: Craniomaxillofacial Trauma and Reconstruction)

Primary Leiomyosarcoma of the Mandibular Alveolar Mucosa of a 12-Year-Old Child from Ethiopia: A Case Report
We present a case of LMS of the mandibular alveolar mucosa, arising in a 12-year-old male child from Ethiopia. A malignant spindle cell-like neoplasm was diagnosed on clinical and radiographic findings as well as on incisional biopsy. The tumor was resected with wide margins. The following histopathologic examination with additional immunohistochemical studies secured the diagnosis LMS. Microscopically, the spindle-shaped tumor cells were arranged in an interlacing fascicular pattern and contained oval to elongated, blunt-ended (cigar-shaped) nuclei. The immunohistochemical examination showed immunoreactive tumor cells for...

Early Posterior Vault Distraction Osteogenesis for the Treatment of Syndromic Craniosynostosis
Cranial Maxillofac Trauma ReconstructionDOI: 10.1055/s-0036-1582455Posterior cranial vault distraction (PCVD) has become an important modality in the management of complex craniosynostosis to increase intracranial volume and improve the cranial vault appearance. This technique can safely be performed as early as 3 months of age for the initial management of patients with complex craniosynostosis. A retrospective review was performed of all the patients with syndromic, multiple-suture synostosis treated with PCVD at Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah, between 2012 and 2014. During this time period, a total ...

Maxillary Sinus Mucocele as a Late Complication in Zygomatic-Orbital Complex Fracture
This article presents an unusual case of maxillary sinus mucocele as a late complication of zygomatic-orbital complex fracture, 23 years after the initial treatment. The patient was referring diplopia and decreased visual acuity with signs of dystopia, proptosis, and epiphora. Computed tomographic scan revealed an expansive lesion in the maxillary sinus with surrounding bone erosion and displacement of the eyeball. Treatment option was excisional biopsy and orbital floor reconstruction with titanium mesh restoring the appropriate orbital position. We propose that in the case of postoperative ophthalmological sequelae of fa...

Large Sublingual Dermoid Cyst: A Case of Mandibular Prognathism
We reported a case of a large sublingual dermoid cyst in an 8-year-old female patient. A bibliographic research from 1937 to 2013 is reviewed and we found only three cases of mandibular deformity, of which only one was a dermoid cyst of the floor of the mouth. Removal of dermoid cysts of the floor of the mouth should be completed as early as detected, especially in newborns and infants when osseous growth abnormalities could result if removal is delayed.[...]Thieme Medical Publishers 333 Seventh Avenue, New York, NY 10001, USA.Article in Thieme eJournals:Table of contents  |  Abstract  |  Full text (Source: Craniom...

Extensive Cervicomediastinal Emphysema from Mastoid Injury
Cranial Maxillofac Trauma ReconstructionDOI: 10.1055/s-0036-1582460Traumatic cervicomediastinal emphysema resulting from isolated head trauma is a rare occurrence. Herein, we describe a patient who sustained a closed mastoid injury after being struck with a batted baseball, resulting in acute extensive cervicomediastinal emphysema. Upon further assessment, the patient's aerodigestive tract was determined to have remained intact and unaffected by the injury. The source of soft-tissue air originated from the fractured mastoid. This case demonstrates the protective properties of a well-pneumatized mastoid. Furthermore, we elu...

The Ever-Evolving State of the Art: A Look Back at the AONA Facial Reconstruction and Transplantation Meetings
Cranial Maxillofac Trauma ReconstructionDOI: 10.1055/s-0036-1582461Historically, periodic academic meetings held by surgical societies have set the stage for discussion and exchange of ideas, which in turn have led to advancement of clinical practices. Since 2007, the AONA State of the Art: Facial Reconstruction and Transplantation Meeting (FRTM) has been organized to provide a forum for specialists around the world to engage in open conversation about the approaches currently at the forefront of facial reconstruction. Review of registration data of FRTM iterations from 2007 to 2015 was performed. The total number of parti...

Management of Mandibular Angle Fractures by Two Conventional 2.0-mm Miniplates: A Retrospective Study of 389 Patients
Cranial Maxillofac Trauma ReconstructionDOI: 10.1055/s-0036-1582457Fractures of the mandibular angle account for 23 to 42% of all facial fractures with a high complication rate (0–32%). Although the ideal treatment remains debatable, two main procedures are commonly used to manage the majority of mandibular angle fractures that are open reduction and internal fixation by a noncompression miniplate placed on the external oblique ridge with or without a second miniplate on the outer cortex. The purpose of this study was to describe our management of mandibular angle fractures by two noncompression miniplates placed on the ...

Mandibular Reconstruction Using a Custom-Made Titanium Prosthesis: A Case Report on the Use of Virtual Surgical Planning and Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing
Cranial Maxillofac Trauma ReconstructionDOI: 10.1055/s-0036-1581060The use of virtual surgical planning and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing has been reported to enhance the planning for the reconstruction of mandibular continuity defects. This case report illustrates the use of this technology in the fabrication of a custom-made titanium prosthesis to restore a segmental mandibular defect. The design specifications and sequence of the custom-made titanium prosthesis are discussed. Although successful in this case, there are limitations in its application and case selection is of vital importance.[...]Thi...

Patient-Specific Implant for Residual Facial Asymmetry following Orthognathic Surgery in Unilateral Craniofacial Microsomia
Cranial Maxillofac Trauma ReconstructionDOI: 10.1055/s-0036-1581061Craniofacial microsomia (CFM) is a congenital anomaly with a variable phenotype. The most prominent feature of CFM is a predominantly unilateral hypoplasia of the mandible, leading to facial asymmetry. Even after correction of the midline, there is often a remaining hard- and soft-tissue deficiency over the body of the mandible and cheek on the affected side. This clinical report describes the skeletal augmentation of the mandible with a patient-specific implant to treat residual facial asymmetry in two female patients with unilateral CFM. Good aesthetic re...

Unusual Case of Sinusitis Related to Ectopic Teeth in the Maxillary Sinus Roof/Orbital Floor: A Report
This article presents a case report of an adult patient with chronic sinusitis related to the presence of two erupted ectopic teeth located atypically in the maxillary sinus roof/orbital floor after a long latency period associated with childhood facial trauma. This article aims to show the treatment of chronic sinusitis of odontogenic origin by surgical removal of ectopic teeth in an unusual position by direct visualization. This case report discusses the signs and symptoms of chronic sinusitis linked to the presence of ectopic elements and associated with an inflammatory cyst, the choice of complementary tests for diagno...
