An Isolated Palmar Scaphoid Dislocation With Undisplaced Fracture: A Case Report And Review Of Literature

Isolated carpal scaphoid dislocation is an extremely uncommon injury. Various methods have been used to treat the scaphoid dislocations, which involves open reduction and K-wire fixation with or without ligament repair or just closed reduction and cast application. The rarity of this injury has led to the proposal of vague and sometimes conflicting treatment strategies. In this article, we report a case of isolated palmar dislocation of scaphoid with an undisplaced fracture. Even though isolated dislocations of scaphoid have been reported before, this particular injury pattern of isolated dislocation with a fracture through the waist of scaphoid has not been reported before to the best of our knowledge. This case was managed by closed reduction, percutaneous Herbert screw fixation, and cast immobilization for 6 weeks, which produced a satisfactory short-term outcome

Primary orbital neuroblastoma with intraocular extension.

Neuroblastoma is an undifferentiated malignancy of primitive neuroblasts. Neuroblastoma is among the most common solid tumors of childhood. Orbital neuroblastoma is typically a metastatic tumor. In this case report, we describe a 2‑year‑old child with a rapidly progressing orbital tumor. Computed tomography revealed an orbital mass lesion with extraocular and intraocular components. An incisional biopsy was done, and a histopathological examination showed features suggestive of neuroblastoma. Systemic workup including ultrasonography of the abdomen, chest roentgenogram, whole body computed tomography, and bone scintigraphy showed no evidence of systemic involvement. The diagnosis of primary orbital neuroblastoma was made, and the child was subjected to chemotherapy followed by rapid melting of the tumor. Neuroblastoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of childhood orbital tumors.
