abstract traumatic rupture of the distal biceps tendon is rare. conservative treatment can result in reduced flexion and supination power with reduced function. this case report emphasizes the need for prompt surgical treatment and describes the possible complications of delayed surgical intervention.

in this case report, we described a 74-year-old female patient with major complaint of respiratory problemsdyspnea after meal. chest x-ray of the patient revealed a  gianttype iv hiatal hernia. preoperative evaluations of the patient included esophagoscopy, esophageal manometry, barium swallow, and ct-scan. repair of the hernia was performed using a dual mesh on the diaphragm and partial anteri...

the aim of this article is to present a new technique of giant omphaloceles repair in neonatal period and also later in life in patients that the primary repair has been failed. from 1999 to 2006, seven consecutive children (male/female ratio 0.4) with giant omphalocele (n=6) and gastroschesis (n=2) were underwent this new operation in our center. in this technique, there were two operations. t...

Introduction: Infants born with congenital anomalies demand individualized nutritional evaluations and recommendations. The anatomical changes of neonatal surgical diseases create specific physiological constraints.Patients with different congenital anomalies have different nutritional support needs. It is essential to know the exact physiology of these anomalies in order to be able to manage a...

Blunt trauma to the chest accounts for most thoracic injury cases. Tracheobronchial injuries are rare. They require high index of suspicion to diagnose and manage promptly. We present a case of left main bronchial rupture, in which delayed surgical repair was carried out after more than a year from the initial injury with complete resolution of the injury. This report adds to the literature the...

PURPOSE Infantile strabismus in humans and the monkey is associated with maldevelopment of visual motion responsiveness, one manifestation of which is directionally asymmetric motion visual evoked potentials (motion VEPs). Early repair of strabismus in infant monkeys has been shown to restore normal development of motion responsiveness for pursuit and optokinetic eye movements (optokinetic nyst...

Acute thrombosis of an abdominal aortic aneurysm is a rare but devastating surgical emergency. We present the first case of a patient with sudden thrombosis of an AAA delayed (more than 24 h) after removal of an intra-aortic balloon pump. Treatment options include open surgical repair, axillobifemoral grafting or endovascular aortic repair. The patient received an aorto-bifemoral graft. The ass...

introduction: traumatic ruptures of the biceps tendon are rare, but serious, and usually involve the long head of the proximal insertion. rupture of the distal tendon account for only 3% of all biceps tendon ruptures. a history of tendonitis, overuse, or anabolic steroid abuse may predispose tendons to rupture. surgical repair, followed by a comprehensive rehabilitation program, was indicated t...
