Objective: We present a case of osteoarthritis in a four teen day old newborn who underwent aspiration and drainage on the fifth day after admission instead of on the first day. The aim of this case report is to describe the importance of a team approach and clinical management algorithms for the successful treatment of septic arthritis in newborn. Case report: We describe a 3200g male baby, who treated with antibiotics and underwent aspiration and drainage on the fifth day after admission to our Unit for septic arthritis of the right knee. After the surgical drainage of the joint, signs of flammation began to improve. Results of culture of pus in the knee joint is Staphylococcus aureus. The child was discharged after 14 days of treatment. Conclusion: Septic arthritis requires early diagnosis, prompt administration of antibiotics and rapid removal of pus by surgical treatment, due to joint infections can progress seriously and irreversible consequences even death. The combination of neonatal specialty and orthopedic trauma specialist is necessary to successfully treat septic arthritis in newborns.

AbstractA 68-year-old female with an acute ischemic stroke demanding emergency thrombectomy which was complicated by the presence of an intracranial aneurysm. Computer tomography revealed the occlusion of the right middle cerebral artery with a distal non-ruptured partially thrombosed aneurysm. The treatment consisted in the administration of intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator and the removal of the proximal thrombus via direct aspiration in order to prevent perforation of the distal aneurysm. After the procedure, the clinical symptoms improved significantly indicated by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). The aim of the present case report is, therefore, to suggest a clinical approach to help physicians in the decision-making process for early and safe revascularization in patients with ischemic stroke and intracranial aneurysms.

Kasabach Merritt syndrome (KMS) is an uncommon complication of large haemangioma in which there is thrombocytopenia and coagulopathy. We report a case of a new born male baby presented with a large haemangioma on the right upper extremity and his initial laboratory tests were consistent with consumptive coagulopathy. He was diagnosed as a case of KMS and treated with oral prednisolone. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjch.v36i2.13091 Bangladesh J Child Health 2012; Vol 36 (2): 105-107

Skeletal dysplasias are disorders associated with a generalized abnormality in the skeleton. The Gollop-Wolfgang complex (GWC) is a limb deficiency disorder and an unusual limb malformation with highly variable manifestations. Here we report an interesting case of a 5-month old male baby from India with Gollop-Wolfgang Complex showing bifurcation of the right femur, ectrodactyly of both feet, ectrodactyly of left hand, syndactyly of right hand and unusual presentation of bilateral fibular agenesis and caudal (Sacrococcygeal) agenesis. The etiology of GWC in this 5 month old male baby could possibly be attributed to spontaneous gene mutation. The clinical, radiographic findings and the unusual presentation are presented in detail.

The testicles develop in the abdomen while a male baby is still in the uterus. Before birth, the testicles typically drop from inside the abdomen down into the scrotum. The scrotum is the sack of skin hanging behind the penis where the testicles are housed. Undescended testicles fail to drop into the scrotum before birth or in the first few months of life. The condition is also called cryptorchidism. Here we discussed, A 15 Years old male child was brought to Acharya Vinobha Bhave Rural Hospital with a complaint of undescended testis and is brought for surgical management. The history of previous illness as narrated by the father the child was born with an undescended testis on the right side.

Introduction: Septic arthritis is a destructive form of acute arthritis that requires expeditious recognition. as delayed treatment yields significant morbidity and mortality. Case Report: A 40-year-old male presented to the emergency department with right elbow pain. Examination revealed tachycardia, swelling, redness, tenderness, and decreased range of motion of the right humeroulnar joint. Synovial fluid analysis was consistent with an inflammatory etiology, but blood and joint cultures ultimately revealed Haemophilus influenzae. Discussion: This case highlights the importance of trusting clinical findings over laboratory evidence in patients with suspected septic arthritis.

Popliteal artery thrombosis may present as a complication of an osteochondroma located in the vicinity of the knee joint. This is a case report of a 26-year-old man with symptoms of the right lower extremity ischaemia without a previous history of vascular disease or trauma. Plain radiography, magnetic resonance angiography and Doppler ultrasonography documented the presence of an osteochondrous structure of the proximal tibial metaphysis, which displaced and compressed the popliteal artery, causing its occlusion due to intraluminal thrombosis..The patient was operated and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteochondroma.
