Post - traumatic superficial temporal artery aneurysm: a case Report

We present a case of left superficial temporal artery aneurysm in a sixteen year old male patient who presented six weeks after sustaining a blunt trauma to the left temporal region with a pulsatile non tender mass. Duplex study was performed demonstrating a false aneurysm arising from the temporal artery. Surgical excision was performed and diagnosis was confirmed. Despite its rarity, superficial temporal artery aneurysm should be considered when temporal head mass is evaluated

Effectiveness of bilateral ilioinguinal nerve block versus wound infiltration for postoperative analgesia after cesarean section

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of ilioinguinal block [IIB] group 1 and wound infiltration [WI] group 2 with 0.5% bupivacaine on postoperative cesarean section pain and analgesic requirements to those patients who underwent cesarean section under general anaesthesia

Methods: Out of 74 patients undergoing cesarean section under general anaesthesia, 26 patients received ilioinguinal nerve block, 24 patients received wound infiltration with 0.5% bupivacaine, and 24 patients [control group] received no local anaesthesia

Results: Visual analogue scores and postoperative analgesic requirements were reduced significantly in patients of both groups land 2 [p<0.05]. However, there was no statistically significant difference in both groups when compared regarding pain scores and post operative analgesic requirements [p>0. 05]
