Publication Injection drug use and tricuspid valve endocarditis(Kathmandu University, 2005) Mathura, KC; N, Thapa; A, Rauniyar; A, Magar; DL, Gurubachharya; DB, KarkiTricuspid valve endocarditis is more common in injection drug users. Pulmonary valve and Eustachian valve endocarditis have been reported but are very rare. Earlier reports of endocarditis in injection drug users emphasized the dominance of right sided involvement. In a series of 105 patients 86 % were right sided and 14 % had left sided involvement. We report a case of isolated tricuspid valve endocarditis in an injection drug user affecting a structurally normal heart and review of the literature on this subject. Key Words: injection drug use, tricuspid valve endocarditisPublication Lipoblastoma in head and neck – A rare childhood tumour(Kathmandu University, 2006) BK, Sinha; N, Thapa; DK, BanskotaLipoblastoma is an uncommon benign mesenchymal tumour that occurs primarily in children younger than 3 yrs of age. Despite the lesions being benign, great difficulty can be encountered in its management because of its tendency to invade the different fascial planes. A rare case of huge lipoblastoma diagnosed in a 22 months old child, involving various spaces of face and skull base has been reported. This huge tumour was completely and successfully removed through cheek incision without any postoperative complications.
