The pregnancies of two women with osteogenesis imperfecta who received intravenous pamidronate before conception are reported. The mothers suffered no ill effects. One baby had transient asymptomatic hypocalcemia and one had bilateral talipes equinovarus. This report documents the pregnancy outcomes of two women with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), types I and IV, who received intravenous pamidro...

Severe corneal ulceration related to self-inflicted injury in the presence of congenital corneal anaesthesia is described in four boys under 2 1/2 years of age. The ulcers had failed to heal until it was recognised that the children were scratching their own eyes. The application of arm splints allowed rapid healing. Although corneal ulceration is a recognised complication of congenital corneal...

Background: Congenital talipes equinovarus varus (CTEV) is one of the most common congenital anomalies foot and ankle affecting 1/1000 live birth approximately. With a male dominance pattern, this deformity bilateral in 50% cases. It has four basic components: cavus, adduction, equinus. Severity clubfoot accessed using Pirani score (0 to 6). Insights into pathoanatomy complex 3 dimensional help...

BACKGROUND Idiopathic congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) is the commonest form of clubfoot. Its exact cause is unknown, although it is related to limb development. The aim of this study was to quantify the anatomy of the muscle, subcutaneous fat, tibia, fibula and arteries in the lower legs of teenagers and young adults with CTEV using 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and thus to investi...

BACKGROUND Epithelioid hemangioma (EH) is a rare benign vascular lesion of soft tissue and bone, characterized by endothelial cells with epithelioid or histiocytoid appearance. Though tubular bones, flat bones, vertebra and short bones are common sites for this lesion, the epiphyseal involvement is extremely rare. We present an unusual case of EH of the distal femur in a young boy. CASE REPOR...

Background: Idiopathic clubfoot is one of the most common and complex congenital deformities which are difficult to correct. Aims Objectives: The present study was designed assess effectiveness results Ponseti method’s early use in treatment idiopathic talipes equinovarus (CTEV). Materials Methods: Seventy-six feet 50 patients CTEV during period May 2019–May 2020 were studied. All cases treated...

One hundred and twenty-five patients with 194 feet affected by congenital talipes equinovarus were treated by the senior author during the period 1959 to 1980. Of these, 70 patients presented either at birth or in the early neonatal period, and 55 were seen later, having been referred from other centres. Seventy-five patients were subsequently reviewed by two of us; the remaining 50 were assess...
