Purpose: To report an unusual and rare case of both eyes fixed in an extreme superomedial position. Case report: A case of 48-year-old woman presented with both eyes fixed in an extreme superomedial position; the microcorneas were covered almost completely by the upper eyelids even when she opened her eyes. A forced duction test was performed to confirm there were severe restrictions in all directions. She underwent disinsertion of the superior and medial rectus muscle, inferior oblique muscle belly transposition and sclera fixation. At the 1-year follow-up, there was improved ocular alignment. Conclusion: This case may be a special form of myopic strabismus fixus. The infratemporal fossa may be a bony landmark related to the etiology of global fixation.

Rare Case Report

Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTMs) are ubiquitous and are being increasingly reported as human opportunistic infection. Cutaneous infection caused by mixed NTM is extremely rare. We encountered the case of a 46-year-old female, who presented with multiple discharging sinuses over the lower anterior abdominal wall (over a previous appendectomy scar) for the past 2 years. Microscopy and culture of the pus discharge were done to isolate and identify the etiological agent. Finally, GenoType Mycobacterium CM/AS assay proved it to be a mixed infection caused byMycobacterium szulgaiandM. intermedium. The patient was advised a combination of rifampicin 600 mg once daily, ethambutol 600 mg once daily, and clarithromycin 500 mg twice daily to be taken along with periodic follow-up based upon clinical response as well as microbiological response. We emphasize that infections by NTM must be considered in the etiology of nonhealing wounds or sinuses, especially at postsurgical sites.

Purpose. To study the features of surgical treatment of Brown's syndrome in children. Material and methods. 47 children with Brown's syndrome aged from one to 10 years were treated: 4 children had bilateral form, 43 had congenital form and 4 had acquired form. The operation was performed for 44 children. The indications for surgical treatment were double vision in a straight position, forced position of the head, impaired binocular vision. Results. Three children with acquired Brown's syndrome had a positive effect on the background of conservative treatment. Surgical treatment of Brown's syndrome was effective, but often required repeated interventions (31 patients, 70%): the first stage was weakening of the superior oblique muscle (tenotomy, recession, prolongation), the second stage was recession of the inferior oblique muscle, the third stage was recession of the contralateral inferior rectus muscles (4 patients, 9%). In a number of cases (5 children, 11%), at the outcome of surgical treatment, asymmetry of the palpebral fissures was noted due to mild enophthalmos in the operated eye (the result of weakening of the oblique muscles that «pull» the eyes out of the orbit and weakening of the contralateral inferior rectus muscle that «tightens» the eyeball). Conclusion. Surgery for Brown's syndrome is effective, but often requires reoperation. With acquired forms of Brown's syndrome, examination and the first stage of conservative treatment are required. The absolute indications for surgical treatment of Brown's syndrome are forced head position, double vision in a straight position and impaired binocular vision. Keywords: Brown's syndrome, double vision in a straight position, forced position of the head, impaired binocular vision, surgical treatment.

Rare Case Report

Chorea gravidarum is the term given to chorea occurring during pregnancy. Here, we report a case of 24 year old primigravida at gestational age 38 weeks 3days ,without any signicant past & family history who presented with chorea gravidarum for the rst time in third trimester. On detailed evaluation no etiology was identied. On follow up in postpartum period, her choreiform movements have reduced in intensity, but is still persisting pointing towards an idiopathic origin.

ABSTRACT Fibroosseous lesions of the jaws, including juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF), pose diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties due to their clinical, radiological, and histological variability. There are two histological varieties of it, one as psammomatoid type and second as trebacular type; here, we present a trebacular type, which is a rare variety. After the clinical examination, radiological and histological analysis, it was diagnosed as juvenile trebacular ossifying fibroma. Although JOF is an uncommon clinical entity, its aggressive local behavior and high recurrence rate means that it is important to make an early diagnosis, apply the appropriate treatment, and, especially, follow-up the patient over the long term.

Congenital Teratoma

<p class="abstract">Teratomas are embryonal neoplasm arises from totipotent germ cells. They are having tissues from all the three blastodermic layers. There are various locations of congenital teratoma. Naso-oropharyngeal site teratoma are either sessile or pedunculated. We describe a rare case of laryngeal teratoma in a five years old patient presented with change in voice and breathing difficulty. On flexible laryngoscopy, it appeared like supraglottic cyst but on CT scan it was confirmed as teratoma. Pre-operative tracheostomy and transoral carbon dioxide laser assisted excision done. Histopathological examination showed osteoid trabeculae, chondroid tissue with loose myxoid islands and adipose tissue. No recurrence of tumor on 18 months follow-up. This is the first case report of pediatric larynx teratoma reported in present century.</p>

Penile Squamous Cell Carcinoma

AbstractWe report a very rare case of a 63-year-old man with penile carcinoma who developed brain metastasis. Brain metastasis from penile carcinoma is very rare, and only six cases have been reported so far as per our literature review. In view of controlled primary tumor and absence of systemic disease, tumor was excised and the patient remained clinically controlled till 3 months after follow-up.

Rare Case Report

AbstractMesenteric fibromatosis is a part of the clinical-pathologic spectrum of deep fibromatoses. We report this rare case of primary mesenteric tumor that was diagnosed to be a mesenteric fibromatosis on histopathological examination.In majority of patients it may remain asymptomatic and the management of these tumors depends on histopathological examination. Postoperatively, patient was well and subsequent follow up showed normal recovery.
