ABSTRACT
Zygomaticomaxillary fractures are complex fractures that can involve the ?oor of the orbit. These fractures often lead to complications like diplopia, disability in rotation of the eye superiorly due to herniation of muscle and orbital fat into the maxillary sinus. These fractures if left untreated can result in malunion, visual disturbances and are not aesthetically pleasing due to effect on the symmetry of face. Various treatment modalities are available for the treatment of zygomaticomaxillary fracture and reconstruction of the ?oor of the orbit. Complications include retrobulbar hemorrhage, orbital ?ssure syndrome, and reduction in orbital volume, with minor effects like ectropion or entropion. A case report of a 21-year-old male patient with a Orbit zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture is described.
ABSTRACT
A middle-aged man presented with recent-onset dyspnea and recurrent syncopal attacks at our institute. Echocardiography revealed a large mass arising from the inferior vena cava and prolapsing into the right atrium and ventricle. Histopathologic examination revealed the classic features of a myxoma. This report is of a rare case of a cardiac myxoma arising from the inferior vena cava.

Lipomatous hypertrophy is a condition that is being increasingly diagnosed with the advent of newer modalities. A middle aged lady was referred to us with recent onset dyspnea and palpitations. Echocardiography revealed diffuse thickening of the right ventricular free wall and outflow tract. Endomyocardial biopsy revealed this as a lipomatous hypertrophy involving the right ventricle. This is the first reported case of lipomatous hypertrophy involving the right ventricle.
