Crouzon syndrome presents with craniofacial deformities due to early fusion of cranial sutures. Deviation of the nasal septum could be seen clinically in Crouzon syndrome. Cerebrospinal fluid leaks (CSF) after septoplasty are extremely rare and typically present with simple rhinorrhea, meningitis, and pneumocephalus. Herein, we report an adult patient with Crouzon syndrome who experienced CSF complication after septoplasty surgery.Supplemental Video CSF leak repair operation, http//links.lww.com/SCS/B930.

  The use of virtual surgical planning and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing has gained popularity in the surgical correction of craniosynostosis. This study expands the use of virtual surgical planning and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing in cranial vault reconstruction by using these methods to reconstruct the anterior vault using a single endocortically-plated unit constructed from the posterior calvarium. This technique was designed to reduce the risk of undesirable contour deformities that can occur when multiple bone grafts are used to reconstruct the anterior vault and fronto-orbital rim. Six patients were included in this study, all of which had nonsyndromic craniosynostosis. Excellent aesthetic outcomes were obtained in all patients, without complication. Additionally, the placement of a single reconstructive unit constructed from the posterior calvarium was efficient, aesthetically pleasing, and minimized postoperative contour deformities secondary to bone gaps, recontour deformities secondary to bone gaps, resorption, and often palpable resorbable plates.Pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF) is one of the most common but stranded complications for salvage laryngectomy. As for localized fistula, there is no convincing standard and method to cure. This paper described a patient who was submitted to extensive resection of mass in right lingual root, total laryngectomy, and pharyngoesophageal reconstruction with an anterolateral thigh flap (ALTF), because of recurred carcinoma of right lingual root which invaded bilateral epiglottis. 2 weeks after surgery, subsequent pharyngocutaneous fistula developed at the junction of the tracheostomy, and maintained over 2 months under conservative treatment. With the assistance of laryngoscope, inner and outer orificiums of fistula were found and sealed by bundled iodoform strip. 9 days after sealing, fistula had been already filled with fresh granulation tissue. During 2 years after surgery, the fistula area dose not recur. This technique provides a safe and effective way for sealing the inner and outer orificiums of fistula.Facial asymmetry is a challenge for surgeons. Some surgical strategies could be used involved soft or hard tissue of the face. The aim of this report is to show the use of patient specific implants (PSI) in a puzzle strategy based on computer aided design/computer aided manufacturer to solve a complex structural facial asymmetry after orthognathic surgery. Twenty-five-year-old male patient complain for facial asymmetry after orthognathic surgery; main deformity was related to the shape of mandibular bone in the ramus, angle, and body. After mirror image, was chose an augmentation in the right side using 2-pieces patient specific implants and the bone reduction in the vertical high of the mandibular body in the left side. Surgical technique was realized by intra oral approach installing the ramus segment at first approach and the body segment as second to obtain stability in the fitting implant-bone-implant; the left side was treated using a guide for osteotomy; after 1-year follow-up no infection or complication was observed and facial symmetry was obtained. It is possible to conclude that the puzzle technique using polyetheretherketone can be applied to obtain predictable results in a simple strategy to solve a complex problem.
  This study evaluated whether patients with a left-sided femoral neck fracture (FNF) treated with a sliding hip screw (SHS) had a higher implant failure rate than patients treated for a right-sided FNF. This was performed to determine the clinical relevance of the clockwise rotational torque of the femoral neck lag screw in a SHS, in relation to the rotational stability of left and right-sided FNFs after fixation.
 
  Data were derived from the FAITH trial and Dutch Hip Fracture Audit (DHFA). Patients with a FNF, aged ≥50, treated with a SHS, with at least 3-month follow-up data available, were included. Implant failure was analyzed in a multivariable logistic regression model adjusted for age, sex, fracture displacement, prefracture living setting and functional mobility, and American Society for Anesthesiologists Class.
 
  One thousand seven hundred fifty patients were included, of which 944 (53.9%) had a left-sided and 806 (46.1%) a right-sided FNF. Implant failure occurred in 60 cases (3.4%), of which 31 were left-sided and 29 right-sided. No association between fracture side and implant failure was found [odds ratio (OR) for left vs. right 0.89, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.52-1.52]. Female sex (OR 3.02, CI 1.62-6.10), using a mobility aid (OR 2.02, CI 1.01-3.96) and a displaced fracture (OR 2.51, CI 1.44-4.42), were associated with implant failure.
 
  This study could not substantiate the hypothesis that the biomechanics of the clockwise screw rotation of the SHS contributes to an increased risk of implant failure in left-sided FNFs compared with right-sided fractures.
