Temporomandibular Joint Disorders

Surgery can be divided into open and closed procedures. Closed procedures are arthrocentesis and arthroscopy. Arthrocentesis is the washing out of the upper joint space with 200 ml of isotonic solution, most commonly under general anaesthesia. It gives 70–80% improvement in cases of locking, restriction, and pain. Arthroscopy is similar but allows visualisation of the internal joint anatomy. Both procedures carry a 1% risk of temporary temporal branch weakness.

Five branches can be identified: The temporal branch, innervating the frontalis and orbicularis oculi muscles and the muscles in the upper part of the faceThe zygomatic branch, innervating the middle part of the faceThe buccal branch, innervating the cheek muscles, including the buccinator muscle and orbicularis orisThe marginal mandibular branch, innervating muscles of the lower part of the faceThe cervical branch, innervating the muscles below the chin and, among others, the platysma muscle

MRI scans were traced onto standardized templates (Damasio & Damasio, 1989) and lesion identification was manually performed (see Table 2 and Figure 1 for lesion overlay). All eleven patients had lesions affecting the left posterior LIFG; in eight cases this damage extended to mid-to-anterior LIFG. Parietal regions (supramarginal gyrus and/or angular gyrus) were also affected in 9 cases out of 11, and pMTG was affected in all but four cases. While there was some damage to ATL in 4 patients (SD, KQ, KA, VN), the ventral portion of ATL, which has been implicated in conceptual representation across modalities (Binney et al., 2012; Visser et al., 2012), was intact in all cases. This region is supplied by both the anterior temporal cortical artery of the middle cerebral artery and the anterior temporal branch of the distal posterior cerebral artery, reducing its vulnerability to stroke (Borden, 2006; Conn, 2008; Phan et al., 2005). The hippocampus and parahippocampal gyrus were intact in all patients.
Parapharyngeal space tumor surgery using a modified cervical–parotid approach

The modifications are described below. Following the procedure for the normal trans-cervical-parotid approach, the facial nerve is identified from the main trunk to the ascending and descending branches. This enables prediction of the layer in which the facial nerve lies. To separate a tumor in the vicinity of the skull base from the mid-pole to upper pole without overly much difficulty, we considered that an approach to the tumor from the anterior auricular space (supra-posterior to the temporal branch of the facial nerve) towards the cranial base would represent an improvement (Figure 6). From here, using swabbing forceps, the procedure for the upper pole is conducted (Figure 7) and the tumor is separated as the operation proceeds downwards (Figure 8). Next, using the same procedure applied for the cervical approach, the tumor is separated from the lower pole to the mid-pole.
A Unique Case of Branch Retinal Artery Occlusion Associated with a Relatively Mild Coronavirus Disease 2019

Abrishami et al. determined a significantly lower vessel density in the retinal microvasculature at least 2 weeks later in patients who had recovered from SARS-CoV-2 infection and noted that patients with COVID-19 could be at risk of retinal vascular complications.11 Asikgarip et al. evaluated the longitudinal changes in retinal vessel diameters at baseline and 4 months after remission in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 and reported that excluding the superior temporal retinal artery, the baseline diameters of the other branch retinal arteries increased significantly.3 Correspondingly, the superior temporal branch retinal artery was occluded in our patient in this case report.
