Facial Fracture Induced Periorbital Emphysema

Physical exam showed marked left palpebral subcutaneous crepitus, as well as bulbar and palpebral conjunctival bulging. Visual acuity was normal with intact extraocular movements, and normal pupillary exam. Computed tomography (CT) imaging of the face was obtained and revealed multiple displaced fractures involving the left orbital floor and zygomatic arch associated with moderate periorbital and postseptal extraconal gas, resulting in orbital proptosis.

Fournier Gangrene

The computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis revealed significant subcutaneous gas tracking along the perineum and right gluteal region (orange outline) into the scrotum with associated scrotal edema (yellow arrow) and subcutaneous inflammatory fat stranding of 0.92 cm (red arrow) consistent with Fournier’s gangrene.  There is early fluid loculation along the right medial gluteal cleft of 5.85 cm (green arrow) without a sizeable drainable abscess seen.

Foreign Body in Maxillary Sinus: A Rare Case of Chronic Rhinosinusitis

Computed tomography (CT) sinus with contrast demonstrated complete opacification of left paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity, and a linear radiopacity within the left maxillary sinus consistent with a foreign body.  There were additional left facial subcutaneous radiopaque opacities.

Brief Review of Intussusception Diagnosis and Management

The patient’s abdominal ultrasound revealed intussusception in the right upper abdominal quadrant. The transverse ultrasound view showed a “doughnut sign” (dashed yellow line), telescoping bowel (yellow arrow), and invaginated hyperechoic mesenteric fat with crescent configuration (dashed orange line).  The sagittal ultrasound view demonstrated the intussusception formed by the outer recipient bowel loop (yellow arrows), invaginated hyperechoic mesenteric fat (orange asterisks), and telescoping bowel centrally (red arrow).

Corneal Rust Ring

The photograph reveals a limbic metallic foreign body with a surrounding corneal rust ring (arrow) in the three o’clock position of the left cornea. 

Sialadenitis

The computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrates prominent enlargement and heterogeneous enhancement of the right submandibular gland (single large arrow) compatible with sialadenitis. There is no evidence of a sialolith or obstruction on the CT. There is associated edema (two small arrows) of the right submandibular space, parapharyngeal space and anterior right neck with partial effacement of the right vallecula and right pyriform sinus.
