Hypodontia is the most common anomaly in human dentition associated with number that develops in the initiation stage of tooth morphogenesis. It is characterized by tooth agenesis of two to six teeth, may or may not be associated with a syndrome, and is controlled by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Mutations in the genes MSX 1 and PAX 9 , which are the main genes responsible for odontogenesis, are responsible for the development of nonsyndromic hypodontia. In this case report, a 13-year-old girl reported to the Department of Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry with the complaint of midline diastema. On clinical and radiographic examination, she was diagnosed with this condition and was explained about the treatment prospects.

Temporomandibular ankylosis is a condition that affects the function and esthetics of a person. Various options are available as interpositional grafts to prevent recurrence of ankylosis, e.g., meniscus, dura skin, fascia, fat, muscle, cartilage, alloplastic materials, and xenografts. The merits and demerits of the dermal fat graft as an interpositional material following gap arthroplasty were compared with temporalis fascia interposition in this study. Twenty patients with TMJ ankylosis (three patients had bilateral TMJ ankylosis) were randomly divided into two groups of 10 patients each; in group I, interposition with the dermis-fat graft that was taken from the suprapubic region was done. Patients in the control group had an interposition with temporalis fascia and muscle from the same surgical site. All the patients were evaluated by age, sex, clinical features, etiology, and postsurgical complications. The age of all the patients was between 2 years and 11 years. Postoperatively and during follow-up, the interincisal mouth opening was adequate with proper healing of the donor site. Conclusion states that the use of the dermal fat graft shows minimum donor site morbidity and proves to be an effective interposition material to prevent recurrence of TMJ ankylosis.

Introduction: Post-cholecystectomy syndrome (PCS) comprises a group of abdominal symptoms that occur after cholecystectomy. Post- cholecystectomy syndrome is defined as a group of heterogeneous symptoms. It consists of upper abdominal pain, vomiting, and dyspepsia, which occur after cholecystectomy. Although this term is not accurate, it comprises biliary and non-biliary disorders, possibly not related to cholecystectomy. Aim: To analyze the clinical evaluation for post-cholecystectomy symptoms. Objectives: To identify the causes for post-cholecystectomy symptoms. To identify preoperative factors (h/o endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), attacks of cholecystitis) associated with post-cholecystectomy symptoms. Materials and methods: A prospective clinical hospital-based study was done on 100 patients at a tertiary care referral hospital in the department of general surgery. All cases of post-cholecystectomy who had clinical symptoms of PCS cases in which follow-up ultrasonography (USG) and liver function test (LFT) were done. Results: In our study, 100 patients were taken who developed PCS after cholecystectomy. Among all patients, 16% patients developed PCS due to biliary etiology. Among 16% of patients, the most common cause is recurrent common bile duct (CBD) stone (6%) and the second most common cause is retained CBD stone (3%) and sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (3%). Discussion: This analysis provides a qualitative overview of etiologies of abdominal symptoms after cholecystectomy. Based on the etiologies of persistent and incident symptoms after cholecystectomy provided in this review, we identified the cause of long-term symptoms after cholecystectomy. Conclusion: In our study, PCS developed mainly due to non-biliary etiology considered 84% and biliary etiology considered only 16%. Female has a higher risk to developing post-cholecystectomy symptoms compared to male after cholecystectomy.

Ab s t r Ac t Introduction: Adrenal myelolipoma is a benign neoplasm composed of mature adipose tissue and scattered islands of hematopoietic elements. Although the true incidence of these tumors is unknown, the incidence estimated to be is quite less. These lesions are usually unilateral and asymptomatic and are very rarely found as bilateral tumors. Aims and objectives: To present a rare case of “Symptomatic Bilateral Adrenal Myelolipoma”. Materials and methods: A 53-year-old woman presented with complaints of pain abdomen for 6 months. Physical examination was unremarkable. Computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen revealed a well-defined, round lesion bilaterally with heterogeneous attenuation suggesting the possibility of myelolipoma. The patient was subjected to bilateral adrenalectomy and the bilateral adrenal masses were sent for histopathological examination. Results: The histopathological evaluation of masses confirmed the diagnosis of bilateral adrenal myelolipoma. Conclusion: Although mostly discovered as an “incidentaloma”, the diagnosis of adrenal myelolipoma warrants through diagnostic study. Surgical resection is the mainstay as it prevents complications, such as spontaneous rupture and hemorrhage of the mass.

Primary intraosseous carcinoma (PIOC) is a rare squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) arising within the jaw, which has no initial connection with the oral mucosa, overlying skin, antral or nasal mucosa. Primary intraosseous carcinoma is also designated as odontogenic carcinoma because it is considered to develop from the epithelium involved in odontogenesis. It is considered a rare lesion, but may not be as rare as commonly believed. It may arise de novo or as a consequence of malignant transformation of a benign cyst or tumor. It is locally aggressive with a poor prognosis. A case of primary intraosseous SCC of the mandible, with evidence of origin in an odontogenic cyst, is presented.

Persistence of fetal vessel in adulthood, joining the carotid and vertebrobasilar systems in fetal period apart from the posterior communicating artery, is rare. 1 This communication is called carotid-vertebrobasilar anastomosis, which includes trigeminal, otic, hypoglossal, and proatlantal arteries. A case of a persistent trigeminal artery (PTA) with carotid–vertebrobasilar junction anomaly is found in a young male is reported. Here, PTA arises from cavernous portion of the right inferior cerebellar artery and traveled posteriorly to join basilar artery and terminates and corresponds to TA type II of Saltzman’s classification. It is also associated with basilar invagination and cervical cord myelomalacia.

Ab s t r Ac t Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and compare the results of conventional tympanoplasty with endoscopic tympanoplasty. Materials and methods: In this study, patients with clinically diagnosed chronic suppurative otitis media with dry central perforation were included. A total of 200 cases were selected of which 100 cases underwent conventional microscopic tympanoplasty and 100 cases underwent endoscopic tympanoplasty. Follow-up of all patients were done on postoperative day 7, 30, and third month of surgery. Comparison of postoperative complications, graft uptake, and average gain in hearing was done. Results: Success rate of graft uptake was 96% (96/100) in conventional microscopic group of tympanoplasty, 92% (92/100) in endoscopic group of tympanoplasty with average hearing gain of 13.96 dB in conventional group and 15.03 dB in endoscopic group. Conclusion: The surgical outcome of endoscope-assisted tympanoplasty was comparable to the conventional microscope-assisted tympanoplasty in terms of graft uptake and hearing improvement. In endoscopic tympanoplasty group, patients had better results in terms of cosmesis and postoperative recovery. Endoscopic tympanoplasty approach can be used as a good alternative.
