A series of 109 orthopedic operations was performed under intraosseous regional anesthesia on the upper and lower limbs. Anesthesia was satisfactory in 106 of the cases; in the other three, inadequate anesthesia was caused by faulty technique. The spread of lidocaine into the bone and venous network was demonstrated by radiography, and the blood levels after tourniquet release were below the to...

We present an unusual case of an intraosseous hematoma in a newborn with a known bleeding disorder. This cephalohematoma was diagnosed shortly after birth, was entirely within the bony skull, and was in fact determined to be an intraosseous hematoma. The initial CT scans showed the unusual appearance and location of the lesion; later scans showed a significant amount of remodeling, with resolut...

We present a case of primary benign intraosseous meningioma in the sphenoid bone mimicking malignancy. A 44-year-old female patient who had a protruding right eye and headache came to our hospital. MRI showed a large, destructive, heterogeneously well-enhancing soft tissue mass in the right sphenoid bone suggesting malignancy. (18)F-FDG PET/CT showed a hypermetabolic mass in the same site with ...

Intraosseous cavernous hemangioma is a rare cause of osteolytic lesions of the skull, and its multifocal type is even more infrequent. This tumor is difficult to accurately diagnose by imaging and can be confused with osteolytic Langerhan's cell histiocytosis or other neoplasms. Here we present a case of multifocal intraosseous cavernous hemangioma of the skull treated with surgical interventio...

in critically ill infants and children, intravascular (iv) access is sometimes very difficult. in such cases intraosseous (io) infusion should be used as the method of choice. however, in practice, different problems are experienced with this procedure. to overcome the practical problems and to confirm the efficacy of io infusion in reversing hypovolemic shock, an animal model was used by emplo...

INTRODUCTION Access to the circulation is mandatory for adequate treatment in medical emergency situations. Intraosseous (IO) infusion is a safe, fast, and effective alternative for gaining access to the circulation, if intravenous access fails. In the last decade, the IO method gained renewed interest. New devices have been developed, such as the Bone Injection Gun (BIG) 15G/18G and the First ...

We present a case of a compression neuropathy of the common peroneal nerve caused by an intraosseous Ganglion cyst of fibula.
