  • Tongue engorgement with prolonged use of the esophageal-tracheal combitube
    Annals of emergency medicine, 2004
    Co-Authors: Brian P. Mcglinch, David P. Martin, Gerald W. Volcheck, Stephen W. Carmichael
    Abstract:

    We report a case of massive tongue engorgement associated with placement of an esophageal-tracheal twin-lumen airway device (Combitube) in a morbidly obese patient. Approximately 4 hours after atraumatic placement of the Combitube, tongue swelling occurred. An emergency tracheostomy was needed for airway management before removal of the Combitube. Ischemia-reperfusion injury or compression of glossal blood vessels, specifically Lingual Veins, was the most likely cause for the patient's tongue engorgement. An exhaustive search for other causes revealed nothing. Prolonged use of the Combitube may incur greater risk of airway complications such as tongue engorgement.

  • Mucoceles of the anterior ventral surface of the tongue and the glands of Blandin Nuhn: 5 cases
    Revue de Stomatologie et de Chirurgie Maxillo-Faciale, 2019
    Co-Authors: N. Graillon, C. Mage, Mk Le Roux, U Scemama, C. Chossegros, Jm Foletti
    Abstract:

    INTRODUCTION: Mucoceles are cystic diseases of the oral mucosa. The most common are ranula and mococeles of the lower lip. Blandin and Nuhn mucoceles, which develop at the ventral side of the tongue, are rare benign lesions. They are often misdiagnosed and sometimes confused with ranula. The recommended treatment is a complete surgical excision of the gland. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We describe 5 clinical cases managed in service between 2009 and 2016. Clinical cases are presented in order to detail their clinical history, paraclinical and treatment. RESULTS: The clinical appearance is a longitudinal swelling of the ventral surface of the tongue, parallel to the frenulum. The volume of the swelling is variable; it is normally around 30 x 10 mm. The paraclinical (ultrasound, CT, MRI, or ponction) could be performed. CT showed an cyst located on the ventral surface of the tongue, with liquid density. Blandin and Nunh mucocele were strictly anechogenic. MRI confirms the liquid content of this cyst (low T1signal, high T2signal and no postcontrast enhanced). The resection of Blandin and Nuhn glands should respect the subLingual gland, the Lingual nerve and the Lingual Veins in the mouth floor. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that Blandin and Nuhn mucoceles must be understood and recognised to propose complete excision of the Blandin and Nuhn gland and avoid recurrence.

  • occurrence of three headed sternocleidomastoid muscle and a common thyro linguo facial vein a case report
    2015
    Co-Authors: Gayathri Prabhu, Deepthinath Reghunathan, Satheesha B Nayak, Prakashchandra Shetty, A M Prasad
    Abstract:

    Variant anatomy of muscles and Veins of the neck is of importance to plastic surgeons, radiologists and general surgeons. We report the variations of ternocleidomastoid muscle and Veins of the neck in the present article. Right sternocleidomastoid muscle had three heads of origin. The third head took its origin from the clavicle just lateral to the usual clavicular head. All the three heads were about 4 inches long and united with each other at the level of thyroid cartilage. There was no external jugular vein on the right side. The retromandibular vein united with facial vein to form common facial vein. Common facial vein joined with superior thyroid and Lingual Veins to form a thyro-linguo-facial trunk one inch below the angle of mandible. This trunk was about 2 inches long and terminated into the internal jugular vein. Knowledge of this case could be useful while raising a sternocleidomastoid flap, administering anesthesia to brachial plexus, neck surgeries and carotid endarterectomy.
