چکیده
Neonatal cervical osteomyelitis is an extremely rare condition. It is a potentially dangerous condition with high fatality and disastrous consequences. Hence, it is important to recognise it early to prevent long-term morbidity and sensory-motor disabilities. It can have an indolent course conspicuous with the absence of pyrexia. We report a four-week-old infant with erosive osteomyelitis involving C1 and C2 and retropharyngeal abscess resulting in neurological abnormalities.

متن کاملRole of sodium hyaluronate (Healonid) in triangular flap trabeculectomy.
The role of sodium hyaluronate (Healonid) in trabeculectomy to prevent a shallow or flat anterior chamber and hypotonia in the immediate postoperative period is reported. Twenty-nine eyes of 27 patients were included in a randomised controlled study. Thirteen eyes had trabeculectomy alone, and 16 eyes had trabeculectomy performed with Healonid injected into the anterior chamber. The results sho...

The muscle biopsy results from 14 children with macrocephaly and hypotonia/weakness were correlated with clinical findings compatible with any of the autosomal dominant macrocephaly syndromes. Thirteen of the 14 had evidence of lipid storage myopathy, either generalised or focal. All 13 had examinations consistent with either benign familial macrocephaly, Ruvalcaba-Myhre-Smith syndrome, or Bann...
