Comprehensive Evaluation and Arthroscopic Management of Circumferential Labral Tears Following Traumatic First Time Shoulder Dislocation: A Case Report and Review.

Introduction: Pan-labral tears, commonly associated with recurrent shoulder dislocations, are a well-documented pathology. However, circumferential pan-labral tears following a first-time shoulder dislocation represent a rare and scarcely reported entity in the literature. Accurate diagnosis requires a comprehensive clinical history, physical examination, and further evaluation, often involving MRI. Even with advanced imaging, the acute nature of the injury can lead to the oversight of pan-labral tears, necessitating arthroscopic assessment for definitive diagnosis. Repairing such extensive glenoid labral tears presents a challenging task, requiring skilled surgeons to utilize accessory portals and percutaneous techniques for optimal visualization and anchor placement trajectory. To the best of our knowledge, this case report represents the first documentation of a pan-labral tear associated with a 1st-time shoulder dislocation. Case Report: A 27-year-old Asian male presented with pain and limited range of motion in the left shoulder following a single episode of anterior shoulder dislocation during cricket. Initial X-rays were unremarkable, but subsequent MRI revealed an anteroinferior labral tear with intact rotator cuffs. Arthroscopic evaluation disclosed a pan-labral tear, prompting meticulous repair under general and locoregional anesthesia. The patient achieved full recovery postoperatively. Conclusion: While pan-labral tears are typically linked to recurrent dislocations, this case underscores their occurrence in a 1st-time traumatic shoulder dislocation without overt clinical signs or fractures. Arthroscopic repair demands careful intraoperative planning to achieve optimal tensioning and alignment of labral and capsular tissues. This report contributes to the limited literature on pan-labral tears associated with initial shoulder dislocations, emphasizing the importance of arthroscopic evaluation for accurate diagnosis and successful repair.

Atypical Intratemporal Meningioma Masquerading as Otitis Media-Clinical and Radiological Diagnostic Dilemma.

Meningiomas are the most common intracranial extra-axial neoplasms with mostly straightforward radiological diagnosis; however, they can have unusual clinical and imaging manifestations posing diagnostic dilemma for radiologists and clinicians. The objective of this case report is to highlight the infrequent and misleading presentations of meningiomas to make an accurate diagnosis. A 65-year-old male patient presented with complaints of left recurrent otitis media and facial nerve palsy for past 6 months. On imaging, an aggressive predominantly cystic intracranial neoplasm was found in the left temporal fossa extending into the middle and external ear. Histopathological examination of the excised tumor revealed WHO grade I meningothelial meningioma. Meningiomas can show atypical imaging features such as large meningeal cysts, heterogenous or ring enhancement and aggressive features such as bone erosion. They can invade the middle ear and should be thought of while dealing with nonresponsive cases of otitis media.
