De Myer (1963) classified median-facial anomalies into two groups: 1. Median cleft lip with orbital hypotelorism 2. Median cleft lip with orbital hypertelorism. The first group is characterised by median-cleft lip, absence of premaxilla, nasal skeleton, and crista galli. In addition, there is a holoprosencephaly which may involve the whole forebrain or a smaller part of the brain. In this group, the children die within the first year or during childhood and always suffer from mental retardation. In this report, we present a 12-year-old child with an unusual form of median cleft lip with hypotelorism without brain deformity.
A case of chronic lymphedema of the hand and forearm following a fracture of the distal radius is reported. None of the classic causes of secondary lymphedema appeared to be the cause. A strong psychogenic component appeared to be the underlying mechanism. This rare phenomenon was thought to be self-induced and not genetic in nature.
Amniotic membrane dressings were tested in the treatment of 30 patients. Fifteen of them had burns, 5 had chronic varicose ulcers, and 10 had decubitus ulcers or other open infected wounds. No effort was made to separate the chorion from the amnion. Dressings were changed every 48 hours, and treatment was, in some cases, partially ambulatory. Good results were obtained in the treatment of 2nd- and 3rd-degree burns and of other open, infected wounds, both in the preparation of the patients for autografting and in consequent treatment.
