A 20-year-old lady presented with drooping of left upper eyelid since childhood. After detailed examination she was diagnosed to have congenital monocular elevation deficiency and exotropia in the left eye. Sequential surgical correction procedures were performed to treat her left eye condition i.e., first surgery to correct exotropia (recession and resection of the horizontal recti), second surgery to correct hypotropia (recession and resection of vertical recti) without Knapp’s or modified Knapp’s proceadure. Left eye was looking straight in primary position; however, there was hypertropia in the right eye. Third surgery was done to correct hypertropia in the right eye (recession and resection of vertical recti) following which both eyes were straight in primary position. Even though the patient has undergone surgery three times, she was very happy with good cosmetic results.

This report documents a congenital condition previously undescribed in a young musician. Uncommon and affecting between 1% and 2% of the general population, camptodactyly is an atraumatic, congenital flexion deformity of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint of the finger, most often the right little finger, as seen in our patient.1 While this condition is not normally of great significance, except when present as part of a wider syndrome, its occurrence as described in this case report has great implications for musicians in that it may have detrimental effects on their ability to perform. Attempts at surgical correction of such a defect, in itself controversial, might further affect a musician’s ability to return to performance as well as to continue studying his or her instrument.

The harmony of smile is determined not only by the shape, position and colour of the teeth but also by the colour of the gingival tissues. Excessive gingival pigmentation is a major aesthetic concern for many people. Though, it is not a medical problem but many people complain of dark gums as unesthetic. Aesthetic gingival depigmentation can be performed in such patients with excellent results. A case is reported here in which a simple and effective gingival depigmentation was performed with the use of electrosurgery which provides increased satisfaction in patients

A 22-year-old woman who presented with a tumour of the upper eyelid with clinical, histological, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural features of a Merkel cell carcinoma is reported. This is a unique case of Merkel cell carcinoma in such a young patient. This neuroendocrine tumour is typically found in the elderly. It can grow rapidly, has the potential for local recurrence and early metastatic spread. The authors recommend wide resection of the primary site, which proved effective in this case.
