Bilateral mandibular dentigerous cysts in a five-year-old child: report of a case.

This is the youngest patient reported in the literature with bilateral mandibular dentigerous cysts. This report confirms the importance of a panoramic radiographic examination in diagnosing bony lesions of the jaws. Early diagnosis and aggressive treatment of these lesions is essential to avoid the undesirable sequelae that could occur without treatment. Dentigerous cysts are bony lesions that have the potential to produce neoplasms.

Nitrous oxide use and endotracheal tube rupture.

Nitrous oxide is an important and widely used anesthetic agent. However, during lengthy surgical procedures, significant amounts of nitrous oxide diffuse into the endotracheal tube cuff, causing sequelae that may include increased cuff pressures, tracheal trauma, increased postoperative discomfort, and cuff rupture. In this paper, two cases are presented in which the endotracheal tube cuff used to deliver this anesthetic agent ruptured after more than four hours of surgery. Two simple means of limiting the diffusion of nitrous oxide into the cuff and thus preventing this occurrence are described.
