BACKGROUND
Primary solid tumors of the greater omentum are extremely rare. Lipomas, leiomyomas, fibromas, and neurofibromas have been described as benign tumors of the greater omentum, but angiofibrolipomas have not.
METHODS
We present the case of a 39-year-old male with a 3-day evolution of right
The surgical treatment of greater occipital neuralgia often involves diagnostic anesthetic blockade, followed by chemical or surgical ablation of the greater occipital nerve. The anatomy of this region was studied in microdissections of 2 cadaver specimens. The diagnosis and management of a series
Angiosarcoma, one of the least common sarcomas, occurs most commonly in the skin and soft tissues, and postirradiation angiosarcoma of the greater omentum is extremely rare. Only one reported case of postirradiation angiosarcoma involved the greater omentum. We describe the case of 74-year-old
OBJECTIVE
The toxicity profile of fluorouracil (5-FU)-based chemotherapy given on 5 consecutive days at doses of 370 to 450 mg/m(2) has been well documented. A meta-analysis of six North Central Cancer Treatment Group (NCCTG) cancer control trials involving 786 patients indicated that women treated
Among a variety of acute abdomens, acute torsion of omentum, first reported by Marchett in 1851, is least suspected under the impression of, most commonly, acute appendicitis and then acute cholecystitis, mesenteric thrombosis, ovarian cyst, perforated peptic ulcer, etc. A 52-years-old woman was
Morbid obesity continues to increase in prevalence, becoming a major socioeconomic and medical problem. The success in treating morbid obesity with surgery has been well documented. The categories of surgical treatment include restrictive, malabsorptive, and combination operations. Two of the
Greater curve plication is an emerging procedure for the treatment of morbid obesity. A median weight loss of up to 61% at one year has been reported in initial reports. Thus far, operative morbidity is low and there is no reported mortality. We present a case of gastric herniation after greater
In head and neck surgery, peripheral sensory nerves are at risk for traumatic injury. These injuries are known to be peripheral triggers of chronic headaches if left untreated or unrecognised. We report the case of a patient that presented with a severe headache, nausea and emesis of 2 years
OBJECTIVE
Laparoscopic gastric greater curvature plication (LGGCP) is an emerging, alternative form of restrictive weight loss surgery. We present our experiences of LGGCP with the primary focus on surgical techniques and weight loss. In addition, an investigation was performed on the food tolerance
Internal hernia is an unusal cause of intestinal obstruction. Herniation related to epiploic appendix is a very rare entity. We herein report a case of internal herniation due to an adhesion between epiploic appendixes and the greater omentum. A 71-year-old woman complaining of abdominal pain and
Delayed gastric emptying after distal gastrectomy and reconstruction of alimentary tract with a gastroenteric anastomosis can significantly influence early and late postoperative course and the length of hospital stay. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect on postoperative functional
Increase in the evidence of global occurrence of Zika viral infection suggests that in Africa the circulation of the virus which causes 80% of asymptomatic infection could be undetected and/or overlooked. We sought to serologically detect Zika virus infection in febrile patients at BACKGROUND
The trigeminocervical system is integral in cervicogenic headache. Cervicogenic headache frequently coexists with complaints of dizziness, tinnitus, nausea, imbalance, hearing complaints, and ear/eye pain. Controversy exists as to whether this constellation of symptoms may be cervically
BACKGROUND
Laparoscopic gastric greater curvature plication (LGGCP) is a new restrictive weight loss procedure.
METHODS
Between February 2011 and June 2012, 57 patients underwent LGGCP. Thirteen had it associated with a lap band and were excluded from the study. Data was collected through routine
