ABSTRACT

Surgical interventions on an outpatient basis are defined as those procedures in which the patient is discharged the same day of the surgery after monitoring the subject during the immediate postoperative period. Submaxillectomies have conventionally been performed on an inpatient basis, and hospital stay was determined by the drain removal. This study aims to establish both safety and patient satisfaction following outpatient submaxillectomies using active drains. Fifteen patients between March 2016 and March 2020 underwent submaxillectomies using active drains in an outpatient basis. No patient had to be readmitted, and there were no complications that could be associated with the outpatient basis of this procedure, showing the safety of this surgical regimen. Patient satisfaction degree was high, with 86.7% of the patients declaring low or no pain as well as appropriate hospital stay. Most of the patients stated that they would accept the surgery in an outpatient basis once again. The performance of an outpatient submandibular gland removal is a safe and well-accepted procedure by the patient.

ABSTRACT

Osteochondroma is one of the most common benign bone tumours, although not in the craniofacial region. More than half of these appear in the coronoid process. It can appear on the mandibular condyle, especially in its medial half, and mainly affects women aged around forty years. We present the case of a 51-year-old woman with pain of several months' duration in the right temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and no other symptoms. Panoramic radiography showed an enlarged condyle with no subchondral cysts. Computed tomography showed a bony proliferation with benign signs and a scintigraphy revealed an increased uptake in the condyle. Due to the painful clinical symptoms, a surgical procedure using preauricular and retromandibular approaches was performed to excise the condyle. The resulting defect, which was 9 mm high, was reconstructed by means of a vertical sliding osteotomy of the mandibular ramus and two miniplates for osteosynthesis. Almost two years later, the patient is symptom-free and has a normal opening with no malocclusion or deviation in the opening pattern. We present and discuss different reconstruction options after condylectomy.

ABSTRACT

Osteochondroma is one of the most common benign bone tumours, although not in the craniofacial region. More than half of these appear in the coronoid process. It can appear on the mandibular condyle, especially in its medial half, and mainly affects women aged around forty years. We present the case of a 51-year-old woman with pain of several months’ duration in the right temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and no other symptoms. Panoramic radiography showed an enlarged condyle with no subchondral cysts. Computed tomography showed a bony proliferation with benign signs and a scintigraphy revealed an increased uptake in the condyle. Due to the painful clinical symptoms, a surgical procedure using preauricular and retromandibular approaches was performed to excise the condyle.

ABSTRACT

Presentamos un caso clínico de neurofibroma plexiforme localizado en región geniana, a nivel submucoso. Su interés radica en que, a pesar de ser el tumor de origen neurógeno más frecuente, es una entidad poco habitual y que rara vez se localiza a nivel intraoral. Por otra parte, la variedad plexiforme es todavía menos frecuente. Desde el punto de vista clínico, se manifiestan como lesiones anodinas, con escasa sintomatología, que cuando aparece es derivada de la compresión nerviosa. En nuestro caso el tumor era asintomático salvo por el tamaño. Radiológicamente no existe una imagen definitiva. Tiene relación con determinados síndromes poliglandulares y facomatosis. El tratamiento es básicamente quirúrgico aunque existen dudas de la idoneidad del mismo y se están buscando nuevas vías de tratamiento. Aprovechando la descripción del caso se realiza una revisión bibliográfica incidiendo en la epidemiología, comportamiento clínico, métodos diagnósticos, así como en el tratamiento de este tipo de tumores benignos (AU)


The case reported deals with a solitary plexiform neurofibroma affecting the cheek submucosa. Neurofibroma is an uncommon tumor which rarely appears in oral cavity but it represents the most common neurogenic tumor. Furthermore, plexiform variety is less frequent. Clinically, oral neurofibromas usually apperars as anodyne and asintomatic lesions. Sometimes, they produce nervous compression. In this case, tumor is big but asintomatic. There is no definitive radiologic image. It has association with poliglandular syndroms and phacomatosis. The treatment of choice is excision. There are doubts of the surgical results so that some authors are looking for new non-surgical treatments. The clinical characteristics, epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment are described as soon as a bibliographic revisión (AU)

ABSTRACT

La lepra es una enfermedad infecciosa crónica, exclusivamente humana, causada por Mycobacterium leprae. En España, a pesar de seguir siendo considerada por la OMS como país endémico en el último año sólo sé han presentado once nuevos casos. Esta enfermedad presenta un gran polimorfismo clínico, lo que hace en ocasiones muy difícil su diagnóstico. La afectación oral se presenta en un tercio de los casos y se asocia. a estadios avanzados de la enfermedad. Realizamos una revisión de la enfermedad, con sus formas clínicas, manifestaciones orales y tratamiento, y presentamos un caso de lepra lepromatosa de larga evolución, en el cual las lesiones orales fueron la clave para el diagnóstico de la enfermedad (AU)
