Syndrome of prolonged crushing: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

The syndrome of prolonged crushing (synonyms: traumatic toxicosis, crash syndrome, crushing syndrome, myoretic syndrome, "liberation" syndrome, Byuothers syndrome) is a specific variant of trauma associated with massive prolonged crushing of soft tissues or compression of the major vascular trunks of the extremities, characterized by severe clinical course and high mortality.

Rupture: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Ruptura is a violation of the anatomical integrity of tissues, caused by a force exceeding their elastic capabilities.

Stretching: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Distortion (distorsio) - soft tissue damage caused by a force acting in the form of traction and not violating the anatomical continuity of the elastic formations (ligaments, tendons, muscles).

Bruise: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Contusion (contusio) - damage to soft tissues due to the short-term action of the traumatic agent, not accompanied by the formation of wounds.

Progressive facial atrophy

In the literature, this disease is known under two terms: half progressive facial atrophy (hemiatrophia faciei progressiva) and bilateral progressive facial atrophy (atrophia faciei progressiva bilateralis).  

Open bite: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

According to the literature, open bite (mordex apertus) occurs in 1.7% of children, and more often in older age than in younger. This type of bite is 1-2% of the total number of its violations.

Excessive development of the upper jaw (upper prognathia): causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

In children, the upper prognathia is 50-60% of the total number of all deformations of the dento-jaw system. Among the endogenous etiologic factors, one should first of all mention rickets and a violation of the respiratory function (for example, on the basis of hypertrophy of the palatine tonsils).

Ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Ankylosis of temporomandibular joint - fibrous or bone fusion of articular surfaces, causing partial or complete disappearance of the joint gap.

Contracture of the lower jaw: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

The contraction of the lower jaw (Latin contrahere - shrink, contract) is the sharp restriction of mobility in the temporomandibular joint due to pathological changes in the soft tissues surrounding it and functionally associated with it.

Fistulas of the salivary glands and their excretory ducts: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Fistulas of the submandibular salivary gland in peacetime are extremely rare. They arise, as a rule, as a result of gunshot wounds of the submandibular region.
