Children in India are particularly vulnerable to injuries caused by wooden objects, spears, and balls, among other things, thus there should be greater understanding of the measures to be taken as well as the management of such injuries. Children's intraorbital foreign bodies are difficult to detect. Intraorbital foreign entities that are organic and non-organic behave differently and have a variable prognosis. This article discusses how to handle such situations. A 6-year-old child presented to our clinic with a history of a foreign body in her eye. According to the report, a CT scan revealed a hypodensity implanted in the left lateral orbital wall, abutting and squeezing the left eye's globe with a displaced comminuted fracture. Due to the seriousness of the case, we performed an operation to remove a foreign body from the eye, which was incredibly difficult and precise. The CT scan the day following surgery indicated no foreign bodies, chemosis, or loss of ocular movement. T...

The term "ankylosis" refers to a stiff joint. Ankylosis is a condition in which the condyle disc complex is restricted in movement, limiting mouth opening. TMJ ankylosis is most commonly caused by trauma. Ankylosis of the TMJ causes a reduction in interincisal distance, which leads to poor oral hygiene and nutritional intake. This is a case of an 18-year-old female patient who has been experiencing pus discharge from the right side of her face for the past 3-4 months. She has a history of poor dental hygiene as a result of her limited mouth opening. The right condyle's movement was restricted, and the ramus' height was reduced. A diagnosis of osteomyelitis with ankylosis of the right condyle and right hemifacial hypoplasia was provided based on clinical and radiological findings, and the patient was transferred to a higher centre for further treatment. Although not directly, ankylosis is linked to osteomyelitis because TMJ ankylosis causes decreased mouth opening, whi...

We present a case of a congenital penile cyst in a middle-aged man who had no prior penile surgery or damage. A cyst on the epidermis can arise anywhere on the body. It is caused by epidermal elements placed in the dermis during foetal development, trauma, or operations like penoplasty and circumcision. A 22-year-old man appeared with a painless lump over his penis that had been growing in size since birth. It was discovered that the tumour was a penile epidermal cyst after it was removed. One of the most prevalent benign tumours in the body is the epidermal cyst. This arises when epidermal parts become trapped within a confined area, either congenitally or as a result of trauma or surgery. However, in this case, there had been no previous injuries or procedures, and the tumour had been there since birth—a case of congenital penile epidermal cyst.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the impact of trauma due to wars on quality of life of Palestine children living in Gaza with special reference to 2009 war. It is analytic study; the study sample consisted of 195 children and adolescents who were selected purposely from three areas in the Gaza Strip. Those children exposed to variety of traumatic events besides losing their homes during ground incursion of the border and shelling and bombardment of the area. They were 101 boys (51.8%) and 94 girls (48.2%). The age ranged from 7 to 18 years with mean age of 12.84 (SD = 2.9). Children were assessed by socio-demographic questionnaire, Gaza Traumatic Events Checklist, and Health Related Quality of Life. Results: The highest frequencies of reported traumatic events by Palestinians children were 97.9% hear shelling of the area by artillery, 93.3% hear the sonic sounds of the jetfighters, 90.8% watched mutilated bodies in TV, and 85.6% were forced to move from home to a saf...

Aims: To estimate the prevalence of psychosomatic symptoms among traumatized Palestinian adolescents in Gaza Strip.  Methods: The study sample consisted of 380 adolescents randomly selected from secondary schools in Gaza Strip, of whom 171 were boys and 209 were girls between 15-18 years. Data was collected using a socio-demographic checklist, the Gaza Traumatic Events Checklist, and the Psychosomatic Symptoms Scale. For statistical analysis, questionnaire data was normally distributed, for this reason independent t-test was used to investigate differences between two groups. Associations between continuous variables were measured by the Pearson's correlation coefficient test. One-way ANOVA post hoc Tukey was used to investigate differences between more than two groups. Results: The most common reported traumatic events due to the war on Gaza were: watching mutilated bodies and wounded people in TV (92.3%), and hearing shelling of the area by artillery (89.4...

This chapter describes a patient with neurocysticercosis who presented with psychotic features. He came to Cairns, Queensland, Australia as a refugee following his experiences of civil unrest in Rwanda. A review of the current literature on neurocysticercosis is described including an introduction, clinical presentation of neurocysticercosis, diagnosis, treatment, case presentation, clinical course, Axis 1-IV diagnoses and discussion highlighting psychosocial trauma. A history of the genocide he survived in Rwanda in 1994 is summarised along with a discussion of traumatic or dissociative psychosis that was included in his differential diagnosis. The patient was admitted through the Emergency Department where he was assessed and treated in a medical ward with the involvement of the Psychiatric Liaison Team and Infectious Disease Team. CT and MRI of the brain confirmed the diagnosis of neurocysticercosis. Medical treatment was administered for neurocysticercosis and community psychiat...
