AbstractScleritis is the severe painful inflammation of the sclera, which can be infectious or non-infectious. Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the common causes of infectious scleritis. TB, though endemic in countries like India, is rare in pediatric age group. We report a case of a 9-year-old female child who presented with bilateral non-necrotizing anterior scleritis with unilateral posterior scleritis secondary to TB. To our knowledge, this is a rare presentation in pediatric age group, and she is the youngest of few cases of tuberculous posterior scleritis reported in literature.

The differential diagnosis of alopecia in the pediatric age group is simplified by the fact that 90% to 95% of the cases are caused by four major entities: alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, tinea capitis, and trichotillomania. Careful examination of the scalp, hair, and historical pattern of the loss will usually be rewarded by the correct diagnosis.

ABSTRACT Opacification of the maxillary sinus was first published by Montgomery in the precomputerized era. The term silent sinus syndrome (SSS) was first used by Soparkar et al2 in 1994. They defined an uncommon disease characterized by enophthalmos secondary to ipsilateral atelectasis of the maxillary sinus, even without nasal symptoms. The pathophysiology of SSS was demonstrated by Eto et al in 1993. In this report, we are presenting a case of silent sinus syndrome in a girl of pediatric age group, an unusual age of presentation.
