This is the third part of a review of the clinicopathologic features of intraosseous carcinoma of the jaws (IOCJ). In parts 1 and 2, we discussed metastatic and salivary-type and odontogenic carcinomas, respectively. This part deals with primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma. Again, based on a critical approach, we emphasize histopathologic features, diagnostic difficulties, discuss hist...

A 29-year-old healthy patient was submitted for exploration of intraosseous, unicystic lesions of the mandibular angle distal to the wisdom tooth of both sides. Histological investigation of the enucleated cystic lesions revealed bilaterally developed lymphoepithelial cysts (LEC). Healing was uneventful and re-ossification of the bone complete. LEC are rarely diagnosed in oral tissues and usual...

Intraosseous infusion has been recommended as a rapid and effective form of circulatory access in the collapsed child. Recognised sites for insertion include the tibia, femur, iliac crest, sternum, and clavicle. The case of a 3 year old collapsed child is described who was successfully resuscitated with the use of an intraosseous needle placed in the calcaneum; the method of needle insertion is...

Schwannoma (neurilemmoma) is a benign neoplasm originated from the neural sheath and occurring most frequently in the head and neck. Intraosseous schwannomas are rare. The mandible is the most common site of occurrence for these lesions. This article reports the case of an intraosseous schwannoma located in the mandibular symphysis of an 11-year-old boy. The lesion was surgically removed and no...

Intraosseous ameloblastoma is the most common and simple type of ameloblastoma prevalent among odontogenic tumors. Clinico-radiographically intraosseous ameloblastoma presents as slow, painless swelling or expansion of the jaws and described as multilocular expansile radiolucency that occurs most frequently in mandibular molar/ramus area. This article describes a case of follicular ameloblastom...

The intraosseous pressure in the femur and tibia near the knee and in the internal saphenous vein at knee level was measured in fifty-three patients with suspected knee lesions. There were four groups: with and without degenerative osteoarthritis and with and without aching rest pain of the knee region. Low intraosseous pressures were found in patients with neither osteoarthritis nor rest pain,...

Two infants on the neonatal unit aged 143 days and 47 days with difficult venous access were successfully resuscitated from episodes of coliapse using the intraosseous route. (Arch Dis Child 1993;68:324-325) Intraosseous resuscitation of babies and infants is taught to residents in North America in the paediatric advanced life support course.1 No such formal training is widely available in Grea...

Results Overall response rate was 95% (n = 19). Of the responding Danish emergency departments 74% (n = 14) have intraosseous devices. Despite this 33% (n = 6) of the departments did not use intraosseous devices at all and in 68% (n = 13) it was used infrequently. In 47% (n = 9) of the departments there had never been any training sessions in the use of intraosseous devices, and 42% (n = 8) did...

We present a case of a 65-year-old woman who developed a delayed deltoid compartment syndrome after resuscitation via humeral intraosseous access. Initially she was treated conservatively but then was taken emergently for a fasciotomy. After confirming the diagnosis with compartment pressures, a 2-incision approach was employed and a large hematoma was evacuated from the inferior margin of the ...

The Consortium on Intraosseous Vascular Access in Healthcare Practice consisted of Lynn Phillips, Infusion Nurses Society and Consortium Chair; Lucinda Brown, Society of Pediatric Nurses; Teri Campbell, Air and Transport Nurses Association; Julie Miller, American Association of CriticalCare Nurses; Jean Proehl, Emergency Nurses Association; and Barbara Youngberg, Visiting Professor of Health La...
