ABSTRACT Background: Intraoperative squash smear cytology is a simple and reliable technique for rapid intraoperative diagnosis of neurosurgical specimens. The study was designed to assess the accuracy of intraoperative squash smear in the diagnosis of central nervous system (CNS) space-occupying lesions. Materials and Methods: One hundred and fifty cases of CNS space-occupying lesion were studied in a period of 15 months. Smears were prepared from the biopsy sample obtained at the time of operation and were stained with rapid hematoxylin and eosin method. Results: One hundred and forty-one cases showed complete correlation with histopathology, two cases showed partial correlation, and seven cases were discrepant. The overall diagnostic accuracy was found to be 94%. Conclusion: Intraoperative squash smear thus provides diagnosis with fair accuracy in brain tumors and is of great value in intraoperative consultation.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">Childhood vitiligo is a special subtype and is seen in significant proportion of vitiligo patients. There are only a few clinical studies in the past which address the clinical spectrum of vitiligo in children. This study on eighty cases of childhood vitiligo will cover the epidemiology and clinical spectrum.</span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> To study the epidemiology, clinical spectrum and associations in childhood vitiligo. Inclusion criteria: all new cases of vitiligo in children under 12 years attending the outpatient department of Dermatology, exclusion criteria: old treated cases of vitiligo and age more than 12 years. Statistical analysis was done using mean and percentage of means.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">Most common age group affected includes 4-6 years. Most common site of initial lesion was head and neck followed by upper limb, lower limb and trunk. Most common clinical type was vitiligo vulgaris followed by focal type then segmental. Lip tip type was least common type. </span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">Childhood vitiligo is a serious issue and the knowledge of its various patterns and associations needs to be updated at regular intervals.</span></p>
