 THIS IS AN ONLINE E LOGBOOK TO DISCUSS OUR PATIENT'S DE-IDENTIFIED HEALTH DATA SHARED AFTER TAKING HIS / HER /GUARDIAN'S SIGNED INFORMED CONSENT. HERE WE DISCUSS OUR INDIVIDUAL PATIENT'S PROBLEMS THROUGH A SERIES OF INPUTS FROM THE AVAILABLE GLOBAL ONLINE COMMUNITY OF EXPERTS WITH AN AIM TO SOLVE THOSE CLINICAL PROBLEMS WITH COLLECTIVE CURRENT BEST EVIDENCE-BASED INPUT 

CHIEF COMPLAIN: c/o pus oozing out from his upper. left third molar region

PATIENT HISTORY: A 33yr old man visited our hospital on 10/02/22 with c/o pus oozing out from his upper. left third molar region. He is an auto driver by profession. When he was 1.5 yrs old he hit his left eye with a sharp object while playing with a sharp cutter and severely damaged his eye. His parents took him to a clinician but he needed Sx which was not done due to financial problems. After that, while staying in Bangalore he visited many hospitals but again Sx was recommended which he didn't want. Now he has completely lost vision in his left eye for the past 6 - 7 years. He left his studies in 2004 - 05 came to Bangalore to find a job, worked as a construction worker making steel frames for buildings. Went back home after 3 months. Again returned to Bangalore for the same work. This time stayed for 1 - 1.5 years. During his stay i.e 2008 - 09 started alcohol consumption(20 ml/day) due to peer pressure. Returned home after staying in Bangalore for 1 - 1.5 yrs. After that takes alc. once/month 20 ml or only during some occasions. Returned to Bangalore in 2010. This time started having tobacco(due to peer pressure) 4 - 5 times/ day around 2 gms still continuing. From 2009 to 13 got money along with peer pressure, so used to have cigarettes( 3 - 4 cigarettes/day ). After 2013 had only 1 cigarette/ 4 months. In 2013 went back home, started farming potatoes, spices, rice. From 2016 to date drives auto in Mathabhanga( W.B ). From the year 2008 to 2016 c/o periodic cough was mostly dry which was seasonal i.e one episode in Summer, one in Winter, and used to last for 10 - 15 days which would go away after having cough syrup. From 2016 - 19 started having alc. again 50ml 2 days/wk due to peer pressure. In 2015 had a fight with a cousin over a lottery business, was hit in the left jaw where pain persisted for 2 - 3 days. After that pain resolved on its own. Around Dec 2021 pt c/o pain, swelling, and little cream-colored pus from the upp. left side molar tooth(NOTE: On the upper jaw his wisdom tooth is missing from both sides i.e never arise) for which he visited a Dentist, took some tablets, and the pain and swelling resolved. 5 days later again pain and swelling started from the same region, visited Dr., started taking medications, but on the 4th day of course lot of pus came out after which his pain and swelling reduced significantly. He used to block his nostrils and create pressure inside to drain pus ? from the maxillary sinus. Once while doing that noticed a little bloodstain on his nostrils. On 01/01/22 went to a dentist who cleaned his teeth after which the pus amount decreased a bit. On 04/01/22 Physician gave him medications and ordered OPG and CBCT. The patient could not do the tests at that time visited another Physician on 16/01/22 who gave him Clavam 625 mg( 1 tab BD for 5 days ), Tab. Metrogyl 200 mg ( 1 tab for 5 days ), Tab. Voveran D ( 1 tab BD for 5 days ). On 17/01/22 pain increased very much. on 18/01/22 pain decreased. After OPG, CBCT reports on 22/01/22 Physician gave him Tab. Taxim O ( 1 tab BD for 5 days ) which he didn't take. On 05/02/22 for the first time, reddish pus came out. Seeing that he took Taxim O on 7th and 8th. When he came here pain has reduced a lot, but pus is there.

RADIOGRAPHIC PROVISIONAL DIAGNOSIS:

  • Radiographic features can be suggestive of left maxillary sinusitis with ?osteomyelitic changes in the left floor and the medial and lateral borders of the maxillary sinus.
  • D/D: Suspected aggressive lesion?
  • Oro antral communication distal to #28 region
  • Pulpal calcification in the teeth of the Lf posterior maxilla and posterior mandibular region.

Provisional Diagnosis: Osteomyelitis
Histopathological findings: 
 
H and E stained section show the presence of parakeratinised stratified sq. epithelium of variable thickness along with underlying connective tissue stroma. The epithelium does not show any dysplastic features. The underlying connective tissue stroma is composed of dense collagen fiber bundles and chronic inflammatory cell infiltrate chiefly composed of lymphocytes. Hemorrhagic areas are also seen in the given specimen.

The above histopathological features suggestive of  inflammatory lesion
Diagnosis: Inflammatory lesion

Preoperative diagnosis: Infected odontogenic cyst of the left side of the maxilla. Glandular odontogenic cyst,?Reparative giant cell granuloma
Surgery executed: Enucleation and curettage
Postoperative diagnosis: ?Glandular odontogenic cyst, ?Reparative giant cell granuloma, ?Infected radicular cyst.
Specimen sent to: General pathology, oral pathology for histopathological examination
Operative findings: Cystic lining was found on the left side of the maxilla.

Operative procedure: The patient was wheeled to OT at around 9:30 am. Oral intubation was done uneventfully. Standard draping and facial preparation with betadine. Marking for the vestibular incision was done in the left maxillary vestibule from 27 to 21. 2% lignocaine with 1:80000 adrenaline infiltrated along the incision marking. Incision given. Full-thickness mucoperiosteal flap raised Anterior antrostomy done connecting to the posterior perforation measuring approx 1 *  2 cm. Cystic lining appreciated. Enucleation and curettage of the cyst done i.r.t anterior. medial, posterosuperior, and inferior aspects of the maxilla. Irrigation was done thoroughly using betadine, saline, and hydrogen peroxide. Cavity packed with medicated dressing(bactigras). Closure dine by suturing buccal fat pad to the gingival mucosa using  3 0 vicryl. Closure of the vestibular mucosa done using 3 0 vicryl. Extubation was done uneventfully.

Post operative instructions: 
I) NBM until further orders
ii) Monitor vitals 4th hourly: GRBS[2 hr after the meal(after NBM break)]
iii) Head raised to 30 degrees, cold fomentation over the operated site
iv) Inj. Augmentin 1.2mg IV BD  @ 7pm, 7am
