Objective:To evaluate clinical efficacy of bipedicled scrotal flaps combined with keystone-design perforator island flaps in repairing postoperative large-area defects in male patients with extramammary Paget′s disease of the perineum.Methods:Clinical data were collected from 6 male patients with extramammary Paget′s disease of the perineum in Dermatology Hospital of Jiangxi Province from February 2018 to March 2019, and analyzed retrospectively. These patients were aged from 70 to 84 years (median, 77.5 years) , skin lesions involved the mons pubis, penis and scrotum, and the area of postoperative skin defects varied from 18 to 133 cm 2 (median, 96 cm 2) in size. In all the patients, mons pubis defects after tumor resection were repaired with abdominal keystone-design perforator island flaps, and scrotal and penile defects were repaired with bipedicled scrotal flaps using the remaining scrotal tissues. These patients were followed up at 1 and 3 months after surgery and every 3 months thereafter. Results:All the 6 patients were followed up for 3 - 36 months, with an average of 10 months. All flaps survived with a good color and texture match, and favorable function and appearance were achieved in both the donor and recipient sites.Conclusions:The bipedicled scrotal flaps combined with keystone-design perforator island flaps can repair postoperative large-area defects in male patients with extramammary Paget′s disease of the perineum. Moreover, the operation is simple, and good blood supply can be achieved.

Combined treatment modality including topical 20% fluorescein dye in the management of phthiriasis palpebrarum � A case series

Purpose: To study the clinical presentations and outcomes of phthiriasis palpebrarum (PP) managed with combined treatment modality comprising of 20% fluorescein dye, mechanical removal of the ectoparasites, and topical application of antibiotic eye ointment with paraffin base. Methods: This is a prospective interventional noncomparative hospital?based series of 13 patients of PP. All the patients underwent local application of 20% fluorescein dye over the eyelashes and eyebrows of both the eyes followed by the mechanical removal of all the ectoparasites and trimming of the eyelashes from the base followed by application of ophthalmic ointment. Results: Mean age of the patients was 28 � 22 years (range 3� Years). Out of the total of 13 patients, 11 patients (85%) were having bilateral involvement. The mean duration of symptoms in 11 patients (rest 2 were accidental findings) was 4 � 3 weeks (range 1� weeks). Three patients (23%) had a history of sexual contact with possible parasite?infested partners. Four patients (31%) had additional parasites in the pubic area or torso. All the patients were completely parasite free at the end of 1 month. There was no infestation of the treating medical personnel from the patient. The average follow?up was 8 � 5 months (range 3� months). Conclusion: Itching and irritation of the eyes were the most common presentations of PP. Combined treatment modality comprising of 20% fluorescein dye, mechanical removal of ectoparasites, and topical application of antibiotic eye ointment with paraffin base is effective in the management of PP

The diagnostic value of active inflammatory changes of the symphysis pubis on magnetic resonance imaging scans in patients with axial spondyloarthritis and clinical factors analysis / 中华风湿病学杂志

Objective:To evaluate the correlation of active inflammatory changes of the symphysis pubis on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans with clinical factors in patients with axial spondyloarthritis.Methods:We retrospectively evaluated 112 patients with axial spondyloarthritis (ax-SpA) in our hospital from February 2014 to November 2020. Patients were divided into 4 groups: symphysis pubis + sacroiliac arthritis, symphysis pubis + non-sacroiliac arthritis, non-symphysis pubis + sacroiliac arthritis, and non symphysis pubis + non-sacroiliac arthritis group. Intra-group correlation coefficient ( ICC) was used to analyze the correlation between MRI active inflammation of the symphysis pubis and the sacroilioarthritis. Age, sex, symptom duration, smoking, body mass index, human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27 positive rate, C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) among the four groups were compared by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Chi-square test. Results:The proportion of active inflammation of the symphysis pubis was 35.7% (40/112). There was no correlation between active inflammation of the symphysis pubis and sacroilioarthritis ( r=-0.06, P=0.559). Twenty-four patients of the 69 patients with sacroilioarthritis had active inflammation of the symphysis pubis, 16 patients of the 43 patients without sacroilioarthritis had active inflammation of the symphysis pubis. In patients without active inflammation of the sacroiliac joint, the CRP and ESR of the active inflammation of the symphysis pubis group was (49±60) mg/L, (40±19) mm/1 h, statistically higher than that of the non-active inflammation group (19±22) mg/L, (22±37) mm/1 h ( t=2.36, P=0.023; t=2.88, P=0.006). In patients who had active inflammation of the symphysis pubis, the symptom duration of the non-active inflammation of the sacroiliac joint, was (14±9) years, which was significantly longer than that of the active inflammation group (5±4) years ( t=4.07, P=0.001). Conclusion:There is no correlation between active inflammatory changes of the symphysis pubis and bone marrow edema of the sacroiliac joint. Therefore, in ax-SpA patients with inflammatory low back pain and/or hip/groin pain, and also with high levels of CRP, ESR, but no active inflammatory changes of the sacroiliac joint on MRI scans, active inflammation of the symphysis pubis should be considered.

Phthiriasis palpebrarum presenting as anterior blepharitis

In humans, Pthirus pubis or crab louse usually infests hair of pubic region. Phthiriasis palpebrarum (infestation of the eyelashes and eyelids) is not as rare as is reported in literature, especially in low socioeconomic communities. It is possible that the disease is being perhaps missed due to its clinical similarity with anterior blepharitis. The nits and adult lice adhering to the eyelashes can easily be overlooked. This study presents five cases of phthiriasis palpebrarum, coming from the same locality and socioeconomic background, presenting with itching, hyperemia of lids, and excoriation of skin. Two patients were misdiagnosed elsewhere. All were successfully treated. The presence of P. pubis reflects the low level of health and hygiene of that stratum of the society. Higher prevalence could be related to rapid urbanization, overcrowding, and extreme poverty. The health-care providers and policymakers should give more merit to this not so uncommon disease having high morbidity.

Phthirus pubis Infestation of the Scalp: A Case Report and Review of The Literature

Phthirus pubis usually infests the pubis, groin, buttocks and perianal region. It can sometimes infest the thighs, abdomen, chest, axillae and beard. Eyelashes and eyebrows may be involved in children. The involvement of the scalp is very rare. We describe a case of P. pubis infestation located exclusively on the scalp in an adult woman. Neither lice/nits nor skin lesions were observed elsewhere, including eyebrows, eyelashes, axillae, pubis, buttocks and perianal region (the patient was hairless in the axillae and pubis). A review of the literature is enclosed.

The inferior epigastric artery: anatomical study and clinical significance / Arteria epigástrica inferior: estudio anatómico y significancia clínica

The inferior epigastric artery usually arises from the external iliac artery. It may arise from different origin. The aim of current study is to provide sufficient date of the inferior epigastric artery for clinician, radiologists, surgeons, orthopaedic surgeon, obstetricians and gynaecologists. The current study includes 171 dissected cadavers (92 male and 79 female) to investigate the origin and branch of the inferior epigastric artery in United Kingdom population (Caucasian) as well as in male and female. The inferior epigastric artery found to be a direct branch arising independently from the external iliac artery in 83.6 %. Inferior epigastric artery arises from common trunk of external iliac artery with the obturator artery or aberrant obturator artery in 15.1 % or 1.3 %. Further, the inferior epigastric artery gives obturator and aberrant obturator branch in 3.3 % and 0.3 %. Therefore, the retropubic connection vascularity is 20 % which is more in female than male. As the retropubic region includes a high vascular variation, a great precaution has to be considered prior to surgery such as hernia repair, internal fixation of pubic fracture and skin flap transplantation. The radiologists have to report treating physicians to decrease intra-pelvic haemorrhage due to iatrogenic lacerating obturator or its accessory artery.

La arteria epigástrica inferior se origina generalmente de la arteria ilíaca externa, pudiendo presentar diferentes orígenes. El objetivo del presente estudio es proporcionar suficiente información de la arteria epigástrica inferior de su importancia para los clínicos, radiólogos, cirujanos, cirujanos ortopédicos, obstetras y ginecólogos. El estudio incluyó 171 cadáveres disecados (92 masculinos y 79 femeninos) pertenecientes a individuos caucásicos de Arabia Saudita con la finalidad de investigar el origen y las ramas de la arteria epigástrica inferior. La arteria epigástrica inferior fue hallada como rama directa independiente de la arteria ilíaca externa en un 83,6 %. La arteria epigástrica inferior se originaba de la arteria iliaca externa en un tronco común con la arteria obturatriz o arteria obturatriz accesoria en el 15,1 % y 1,3 %, respectivamente. La arteria epigástrica inferior daba una rama obturatriz y una obturatriz accesoria en el 3,3 % y 0,3 %, respectivamente. De esta manera, la vascularización retropúbica fue del 20 %, siendo mayor en mujeres que en hombres. Como la región retropúbica incluye una elevada variación vascular, esta arteria tiene que ser considerada antes del acto quirúrgico, como en los casos de la cirugía de hernia, la fijación interna en fracturas del pubis y el trasplante de colgajo de piel. Los radiólogos tienen que informar a los médicos tratantes de estas variaciones para contribuir en la disminución de la hemorragia intra-pélvica debido a la lesión iatrogénica de la arteria obturatriz o su arteria accesoria.

Diástasis de la sínfisis púbica posparto / Postpartum pubic symphysis diastasis

Resumen ANTECEDENTES: ante un dolor pélvico intenso en una paciente embarazada, durante el parto o puerperio inmediato, debe considerarse la posibilidad de diástasis de la sínfisis del pubis, que es una afección poco frecuente e infradiagnosticada que puede resultar muy dolorosa e invalidante porque daña considerablemente la calidad de vida. A la exploración física se advierte: dolor intenso en la sínfisis púbica, que puede irradiarse hacia la zona lumbar o ambos muslos. Para establecer el diagnóstico definitivo es necesaria una prueba de imagen que muestre una separación entre ambas ramas ≥ 10 mm. En función de la clínica y el grado de separación puede optarse por un tratamiento conservador o, bien, por una intervención quirúrgica con osteosíntesis y estabilización del anillo pélvico. CASO CLÍNICO: paciente que luego de un parto eutócico experimentó dolor pélvico intenso e incapacidad para la deambulación y sedestación. Con base en la imagen radiográfica antero-posterior de la pelvis se estableció el diagnóstico de diástasis severa de la sínfisis del pubis, con afectación de la articulación sacroiliaca. El tratamiento fue quirúrgico, con buena evolución posterior. CONCLUSIONES: las formas leves de esta afección son infradiagnosticadas. El retraso en el diagnóstico y tratamiento implica dolor residual y empeora el pronóstico de la enfermedad. Es importante tener en mente este diagnóstico a la hora del diagnóstico diferencial de dolor pélvico en una paciente embarazada o puérpera.

Abstract BACKGROUND: In the presence of severe pelvic pain in a pregnant patient, during childbirth or the immediate puerperium, it is necessary to consider the possibility of a diastasis of the pubic symphysis. It is a rare and underdiagnosed pathology that can be very painful and invalidating and seriously worsens the quality of life. Physical examination shows intense pain at the level of the pubic symphysis that can radiate towards the lower back or both thighs. Definitive diagnosis requires an image test showing a separation between the two pubic bones ≥10 mm. Depending on symptomatology and the degree of separation, it is possible a conservative treatment or surgery, with osteosynthesis and stabilization of the pelvic ring. CLINICAL CASE: Patient who experienced intense pelvic pain and incapacity for ambulation and sedation after a eutocic delivery for ambulation and sedestation. After an anteroposterior radiograph of the pelvis, a severe diastasis of the pubic symphysis was diagnosed with affectation of the sacroiliac joint and required surgical treatment with a favourable evolution. CONCLUSIONS: Mild forms of this condition are underdiagnosed. Delay in diagnosis and treatment involves residual pain and worsens the prognosis of the disease. It is important to keep this diagnosis in mind at the time of the differential diagnosis of pelvic pain in a pregnant or puerperal patient.

Outcome of Internal Fixation and Corticocancellous Grafting of Symphysis Pubis Diastasis Which Developed after Malunion of Pubic Rami Fracture / 대한고관절학회지

We report a case of pubic symphysis diastasis, which was initially asymptomatic; however, it became symptomatic with urinary incontinence during pregnancy. The patient was treated with open reduction and internal fixation of the symphysis pubis. A corticocancellous autograft was used for filling the gap which remained despite bilateral compression of the iliac bones. We obtained satisfactory outcome in terms of symptoms at the 3 years' follow-up; however, there was instability findings in the X-rays with broken screws. We conclude that asymptomatic pubic symphysis diastasis might be symptomatic after additional trauma (such as pregnancy) in the following days, if it was unstable in the very beginning of injury. Fixation of old pubic symphysis diastasis with reconstruction plate by filling the gap by using corticocancellous autograft, might not prevent ultimate implant failure if the symphysis pubis diastasis is part of an unstable pelvic fracture in the very beginning.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate relation between displaced inferior ramus fractures and posterior pelvic ring injury.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From August 2012 to August 2015, 51 patients of pubic ramus fractures with complete record were retrospective reviewed including 27 males and 24 females with an average age of(49.1±19.0) years old ranging from 9 to 90 years old. The time from injury to treatment ranged from 0.3 to 48 hours with an average of 10.1 hours. According to Tile classification of pelvic fractures, 28 cases were type A, 17 cases were type B, 6 cases were type C. Pelvic radiographs and computed tomography scans were detailed and evaluated for whether there were posterior pelvic ring injury, meanwhile pubic rami fractures were divided into 4 groups as follow: displaced inferior ramus fractures group, undisplaced inferior ramus fractures group, displaced superior ramus fractures group, undisplaced superior ramus fractures group;the incidence rate of association of posterior pelvic ring injury was determined and compared.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Twenty-six patients had displaced inferior ramus fractures, all of them (100%) were combined with posterior pelvic ring injury. Twenty patients had undisplaced inferior ramus fractures, 6 of them(30%)were combined with posterior pelvic ring injury. Twenty-eight patients had displaced superior ramus fractures, 22 of them(78.5%) were combined with posterior pelvic ring injury. Twelve patients had displaced superior ramus fractures, 5 of them(41.6%) were combined with posterior pelvic ring injury. Compared with undisplaced inferior ramus fractures group, there was statistic difference(=0.028 8<0.05) on the incidence rate of posterior pelvic ring injury, there were no statistic difference(=0.055 8>0.05;=0.168 3>0.05) while compared with other undisplaced superior ramus fractures group and displaced superior ramus fractures group, but the incidence rate of association with posterior pelvic ring injury much higher than both of two groups (100% vs 41.6%, 78.5%).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Displaced inferior pubic ramus fractures have the highest incidence rate of association with posterior pelvic ring injury, frequently prompted injury to the posterior pelvis. Displaced inferior ramus fractures were an indirect evidence of posterior pelvic injury.</p>

Effect of the surgical treatment on the keloid of mons pubis with postoperative radiotherapy / 中华医学美学美容杂志

Objective To explore an effective surgical treatment to the keloid of mons pubis.Methods From March 2008 to January 2015,local flap and adjacent flap (including ilioinguinal flap and rectus abdominal musculocutaneous flap) were performed,and used to repair the defect after surgical removal of the keloid in 25 patients,and all the patients were received postoperative local radiotherapy,and then chi square test was applied to evaluate the effect in the six aspects,including perineal form,skin color,pubic hair distribution,satisfactory effect,skin texture and sense.Results The local flap group was better than the adjacent flap group in perineal form,skin color,pubic hair distribution,satisfactory effect,but there was no significant difference in skin texture and sense.Conclusions For the keloid of mons pubis,the first choice is local flap graft,which can maintain the normal mons pubis formation as most as possible,while the wound is so large that the local flap cannot work,and therefore the vascular pedicle axial flap should be used.

Corona mortis: importancia anatomo ­ clínica y ocurrencia en una muestra de la población colombiana / Corona mortis: anatomical and clinical relevance and occurrence in a sample of the Colombian population

Corona mortis es una variación anatómica referida a la anastomosis de los vasos iliacos externos e internos, mediante vasos que se arquean por encima y por detrás del ramo superior del pubis. En caso de resultar lesionados iatrogénicamente, se pueden presentar hemorragias de difícil manejo. El objetivo del estudio fue caracterizar los vasos obturatrices en una muestra cadavérica de la población colombiana, para determinar su morfometría y la frecuencia con que se presentan los diferentes patrones venosos y arteriales. Se estudiaron hemipelvis de 14 cadáveres, pertenecientes al anfiteatro del Departamento de Morfología de la Universidad del Valle en Cali, Colombia. Tras acceder a la cavidad pélvica y completar la disección de todos los vasos que se relacionaban con el canal obturador y la cara pélvica del ramo superior del pubis, se determinaron sus características morfológicas y sus dimensiones. Las variaciones arteriales, corona mortis y arteria obturatriz aberrante, se presentaron en el 35,7% de las hemipelvis y las variaciones venosas en el 82,1%. La arteria corona mortis sólo se presentó en el 3,6% de las hemipelvis y el 32,1% presentaron arteria obturatriz aberrante. La moda de las frecuencias absolutas de los patrones venosos fue la vena corona mortis que se presentó en el 75,0% de las hemipelvis. El conocimiento de los patrones arteriales y venosos de los vasos obturatrices y de sus variaciones anatómicas para la población colombiana es indispensable para evitar lesionarlos durante procedimientos clínico - quirúrgicos que comprometan el anillo pélvico anterior y la región inguinal.

The corona mortis is an anatomical variation related to the anastomosis between the internal and external iliac blood vessels, through certain arteries and veins that form arches above and behind the superior pubic ramous. Serious hemorrhages can result from iatrogenic injury of these vessels. The study objective was to characterize the obturator vessels in a sample of Colombian cadavers, to determine their morphometric features and the frequencies in which the arterial and venous patterns are present. Hemipelvises of 14 cadavers from the dissection room of the Department of Morphology at the Universidad del Valle, in Cali, Colombia, were taken as sample. Once the dissection of the vessels related with the obturator canal and the pelvic surface of the superior pubic ramous was completed, their morphological features were determined and measurements were taken of their diameters and lengths. The arterial variations, corona mortis and aberrant obturator artery, were present in 35.7% of the hemipelvises and the venous variations in 82.1%. The corona mortis artery was only present in 3.6% of the hemipelvises and 32.1% presented an aberrant obturator artery. The mode of the absolute frequencies of the venous patterns was the corona mortis vein, present in 75.0% of the hemipelvises. The knowledge of the arterial and venous patterns of the obturator vessels and their anatomical variations for the Colombian population is very important in order to avoid causing any injury to them in the course of clinical and surgical procedures that have to do with the anterior pelvic ring and the inguinal region.

The Clinical Outcomes of Exercise Therapy for a Soccer Player with Stress Fracture of Superior Pubic Ramus / 대한스포츠의학회지

Stress fractures are common injuries that begin with repetitive and excessive stress on the bone. It is very rare that stress fracture was occurred in pubis superior ramus in athletics, and the report concerning the exercise therapy for this fracture was not sufficient in the literature. We report of a case of a 17-year-old male soccer player who suffered from left inguinal pain due to the stress fracture of pubis superior ramus. He was conducted an exercise program that consisted of muscle strength, stretching, aerobic and functional exercise for 2 months. After this intervention, all muscle strength was significantly improved (17%) compared to baseline data, and also flexibility and range of motion were improved. This case shows that exercise therapy considered the cause and cyclic formation of bone remodeling is benefit to improve the exercise performance for a soccer player with superior ramus stress fracture.

Ectoparasite Presenting with Common Eye Condition.

Ectoparasites are the parasites that live primarily on the surface of the host. We report a case of a 40-year-old woman who phthiriasis palpebrarum, presented with signs and symptoms of a common eye condition blephero conjunctivitis. She was diagnosed to have phthiriasis palpebrarum. The infestation by this organism is regarded as a marker for other sexuallytransmitted disease (STD) infections like human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes genitalis and trichomonas.

A Case of Apocrine Carcinoma on the Pubis / 대한피부과학회지

Apocrine carcinoma is a rare malignant epithelial tumor of apocrine sweat glands. It manifests as a painless, slow-growing, firm or cystic red nodule with focal ulcerations. These tumors are capable of hematogenous dissemination to visceral organs and lymphatic spread. Their occurrence has been reported mainly in the axilla and breast area. We present a case of apocrine carcinoma arising from the pubis, where it rarely occurs. An 83-year-old man displayed a 3.5x3.0 cm-sized irregular-shaped mass with a crust. Histopathologic examination revealed a complex glandular appearance of cribriform and cord-like pattern tumor nests throughout the dermis. The tumor was positive in immunohistochemical staining for EMA, PAS diastase, and GCDFP-15.
