Anterior megalophthalmos is a developmental anomaly of the anterior ocular segment. This is an X-linked recessive disease and manifests as bilateral enlarged corneas, open iridocorneal angle, hypoplastic iris and dislocation and opacification of an apparently small lens. We have also observed obvious vitreoretinal degeneration in our patients. What may threaten visual acuity later is an op...

ocular lesions are a common manifestation of toxoplasmosis in cats. in this survey, 10 healthy syrianmice were infected through intraperitoneal inoculation of bradyzoites of toxoplasma gondii (tehran strain).mice were killed 30 days after inoculation and the suspension of their brains was prepared, after confirmationof the infection. seven kittens were fed with the infected mice brain suspensio...

BACKGROUND In infants under 3 years of age acquired primary hypothyroidism caused by autoimmune thyroiditis is very rare. Hypothyroidism can manifest with different signs and symptoms and has a wide range of presentations from subclinical hypothyroidism to overt form. We describe a child with acquired autoimmune thyroiditis during a very early period of life and with a severe hypothyroidism pre...

INTRODUCTION Benign neonatal hemangiomatosis is a condition in which multiple cutaneous hemangiomas appear at birth or shortly thereafter; visceral complications are absent. Here, we report a case of a consumption hypothyroidism in an Egyptian baby with benign neonatal hemangiomatosis. CASE PRESENTATION An 8-month-old Egyptian boy with benign neonatal hemangiomatosis was referred to our insti...

Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the most important infectious agents among neonates. This pathogen has a potential to develop an increased antimicrobial resistance and virulence. The classic non-virulent strain of K. pneumoniae, producing an extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL), is associated with nosocomial infection mainly in preterm neonates. Hypervirulent K. pneumoniae strains are assoc...

Craniosynostosis is a congenital developmental disorder involving premature fusion of cranial sutures, which results in an abnormal shape of the skull. Significant progress in understanding the molecular basis of this phenotype has been made for a small number of syndromic craniosynostosis forms. Nevertheless, in the majority of the approximately 100 craniosynostosis syndromes and in non-syndro...

A.N., a boy and the only child, was stated to have been a fortnight premature and to have weighed 5j lb. at birth. Breast fed for one month, he was then given bottle feeds as his mother had insufficient milk. On this he thrived, and subsequent progress was normal with no history of any illness until his last. At 16 months he weighed 21 lb., and at 18 months he had 12 teeth and could walk and sp...

An 820 g, 28 week , small-for-gestational-age boy was born after an uneventful but shortened pregnancy. At birth , the circumference of the infant's head (23 cm) was well below the third percentile. Transillumination of the skull was increased over the parietotemporal areas bilaterally. Initially, he had minimal spontaneous movements, little response to stimulation, absent suck reflex , minimal...
