Rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare childhood cancer with an estimated 250-350 new cases per year. The head and neck region and in particular, the orbit, represent a major anatomic site for RMS. Orbital RMS is the most common primary orbital malignancy in children with approximately 35 new cases per year. 

Rhabdomyosarcomas are composed of cells with histologic features of striated muscle in various stages of embryogenesis that can occur in several sites in the body, including the ocular region. Most ocular rhabdomyosarcomas arise in the soft tissues of the orbit but they can rarely occur in other ocular adnexal structures and even within the eye such as in this case!

The patient had a closed funnel RD, no masses visualized on USG, CT of the orbit and skull at the time. He returned to the clinic about 3 months later with a prolapsed tumor in the eye. Open / Comment

2021-11-11 19:39:38 A severe MRSA infection requiring extensive reconstructive surgery!

This patient originally presented with flu-like symptoms and was misdiagnosed. As the week went on, his fever kept climbing and his hand and arm begun to swell up. He soon realized he was not dealing with the flu!

He went to a hand specialist who told him and his wife that he needed to go to a specific hospital immediately, since they were the closest level 1 trauma center. “Don’t stop for gas. Don’t stop for anything. If you don’t think you can’t take him there right now, I’ll get an ambulance.” He then called a hand surgeon to meet me there. The ER was expecting him, and he was immediately admitted and prepped for surgery.

7 surgeries were performed to remove the infected tissue. He then had his hand sown to his stomach for 3 weeks for skin coverage.

After about 18 months of physical therapy, the patient has recovered about 40% of his function in this arm/hand. Open / Comment

2021-11-09 21:00:09 Bladder stones are small mineral deposits that can form in the bladder.

In most cases bladder stones develop when the urine becomes very concentrated or when one is dehydrated. This allows for minerals, such as calcium or magnesium salts, to crystallize and form stones. Bladder stones vary in number, size and consistency. In some cases bladder stones do not cause any symptoms and are discovered as an incidental finding on a plain radiograph.

However, when symptoms do occur, these may include severe lower abdominal and back pain, difficult urination, frequent urination at night, fever, painful urination and blood in the urine. The majority of individuals who are symptomatic will complain of pain which comes in waves. The pain may also be associated with nausea, vomiting and chills. Open / Comment
