RESUMO

Hydatidosis (Echinococcosis) is a disease caused by infestation of hydatid cysts in any organ of body but mainly liver (70% of cases). Hydatidosis of salivary glands is rare and necessitate computerized tomography for diagnosis while fine needle aspiration remains controversial procedure. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 6 patients diagnosed with hydatid cysts of parotid glands. These cases were admitted and treated at the maxillofacial surgery Clinic of the "AL-Ramadi" Hospital in Iraq. 5 patients were female and 1 male with age group was between 30 -50 years. The patients complained of painless unilateral swelling in parotid region and who were diagnosed hydatid cysts using CT. All cases were treated by superficial parotidectomy with cystectomy and preservation of facial nerve. RESULTS: All hydatid cysts are CE1- type with no recurrences were reported in any of these cases. The postoperative edema was the most common complication. Other complications were not seen. CONCLUSION: parotid hydatid cyst should be included in differential diagnosis of persistent parotid swelling especially those with history of hepatic hydatid cysts. Computerized tomography is the gold imaging that aid in diagnosis and classification of hydatid cysts. Most cases are CE1 type and Eosinophilia is a sign of concern in some patients. Surgical treatment remains the "gold standard" in therapy.

RESUMO

Background: Diabetic emergencies are serious acute life-threatening complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). The Hajj season requires the health system in Saudi Arabia to prepare efficiently for the healthcare of millions of pilgrims, particularly for diabetic emergencies. Thus, diabetic emergencies need rapid recognition, diagnosis and treatment. This study aimed to explore the frequency and associated factors of diabetic emergencies among the pilgrim's patients with DM during Hajj, Mecca 2019. Methods: This is a prospective study which was conducted on 153 patients with DM. They were selected from three major healthcare-providing facilities during Hajj, which are Arafat, Muzdelefah and Muna healthcare centres. The study was conducted from Aug 5 to 12, 2019. All the patients who presented with any of the hypoglycaemic or hyperglycaemic emergencies had their demographic and clinical characteristics recorded to estimate the prevalence of each emergency and identify its significant associated factors. Result: More than 90% of the study participants were patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), while around 7% had type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperosmolar hyperglycaemic state (HHS) and hypoglycaemia were presented in (n = 11, 7.2%), (n = 19, 12.4%) and (n = 28, 18%), respectively, of the participants. Moreover, the study found that "younger age" (odds = 30.4, P = 0.0115) and "type of medication" are significantly associated with DKA. Furthermore, "older age", "type of medication", "having Cardiovascular Disease (CVD)" and "diabetes duration" were found to have a significant association with HHS. Moreover, hypoglycaemia was associated with neuropathy complication (odds = 3.54948, P = 0.0187). Conclusions: Among the pilgrims with diabetes participating in Hajj, a considerable proportion with a range of diabetic emergencies present to the onsite medical facilities. Preparation is required in terms of logistics and health education about diabetic emergencies to meet the needs of pilgrims with DM, especially those who use insulin and have longstanding diabetes. Further research on DM and the creation of guidelines for health providers and patients with DM during Hajj are important focuses for the future.

HIGHLIGHTS: Hydatidosis of parotid glands is rare but must be included in differential diagnosis of cystic swelling of salivary glands especially those with history of hepatic hydatid cysts.The hydatid cysts are classified according to morphology on imaging into 5 typesTotal serum bilirubin, eosinophilia and leukocytosis are seenSuperficial parotidectomy with removal of hydatid cysts is the treatment of choice in parotid hydatid cysts.

RESUMO

Paranasal sinus cancers comprise about 0.3% of all cancers and 80% of these lesions arise in the maxillary sinus. A masquerading primary sinus tumour represents a therapeutic challenge as most patients with maxillary antrum cancer are diagnosed with advanced disease. However, distant metastases rarely occur. We examined the clinical outcome of patients with antrum neoplasms. Medical records were obtained for all patients diagnosed with a sinus malignancy between July 2009 and January 2014. During this period, 41 patients with maxillary tumours were treated, among which 9 patients received a maxillectomy. There were 21 male and 20 female patients. All patients underwent computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. The most common complications were postoperative epistaxis and swallowing difficulty. The treatment of maxillary antrum tumours is complicated and needs advancements to improve early presentation, timely diagnosis, and better management outcomes.
