We reported here on three patients in whom the diagnosis of familial Mediterranean fever was established after avascular necrosis of the femoral head had been detected. The pathogenesis and the management of this rare concomitance are discussed in the light of the relevant literature.
An 11-year-old patient is described who developed osteonecrosis (ON) of the femoral head 4 months after an episode of arthritis of the hip associated with acute rheumatic fever. ON has been reported to occur after transient synovitis. We believe this is the first report of osteonecrosis after acute
OBJECTIVE
In children with locally advanced or recurrent malignant tumours, prognosis can be improved by regional deep hyperthermia (RHT) in combination with platin-based chemotherapy. However, because of the increasing number of patients that achieve long-time remission with this therapy, it is
Osteonecrosis is a disorder rarely occurring in the jaw. Dengue fever is a common mosquito-borne disease prevalent in many countries including India. The following report presents an interesting case of maxillary osteonecrosis in a middle aged male with a history of dengue infection. We also
Osteonecrosis of jaw (ONJ) is a debilitating condition which can lead to compromised dentition. Various causes for ONJ are suggested in the literature such as drugs, trauma, radiation, chemicals, bacterial, and fungal infections. Knowing etiology for particular case of ONJ is important BACKGROUND
Progressive and non-juvenile avascular osteonecrosis (AVN) is a rare condition in children. During the last decade, some data indicate that regional deep hyperthermia therapy (RHT) combined with either chemo- and / or radiotherapy in malignancies is associated with AVN in young patients.
The purpose of this feature is to heighten awareness of specific adverse drug reactions (ADRs), discuss methods of prevention, and promote reporting of ADRs to the US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) Med Watch program (800-FDA-1088). If you have reported an interesting, preventable ADR to Med
Brucellosis is a zoonotic infection transmitted from infected animals to humans, osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a devastating disease that affects patients' life with pain, dysfunction of walking and always lead to total hip arthroplasty (THA). We presented a case of ONFH Patients with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) are at risk for developing infections and often require long-term antimicrobial therapy for management. It is unclear whether patients with multiple myeloma (MM) who develop MRONJ experience increased morbidity when they undergo
The focus on oral manifestations of dengue fever (DF) is not common in the scientific literature and the patient affected can present signs and symptoms that may not be noticed by dental professionals. This systematic review article was conducted to identify and discuss the oral manifestations
The case is reported of a 7 year old Bedouin girl who presented with a three week history of fever and limp. Initial tests for rheumatoid factor, antinuclear antibodies, and brucella were negative. Two weeks after admission Brucella melitensis was cultured from bone marrow and synovial fluid
Avascular necrosis (AVN) is a pathological condition associated with numerous processes. Most frequent causes of ischaemia of the femoral head include trauma, corticosteroid therapy, radiation therapy, alcoholism, Gaucher's disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis. Corticosteroid
Septic hip is a rare condition and is known to occur in immune-compromised patients. In general, surgeons are not concerned about the superimposed septic hip when they operate on patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) if the patient is not immune compromised. We
