We report a unique case of neonatal mycotic internal iliac artery aneurysm managed non-operatively. The child had multifocal osteomyelitis and no history of umbilical artery catheterisation. The aneurysm was regularly scanned and monitored until its obliteration by thrombus 17 days after initial detection. Contingency plans for either interventional radiological coiling or open surgical repair were in place had the aneurysm grown or the child deteriorated.

The patient first menstruated at the age of thirteen years, and the catamenia have always been regular and rather profuse. All three pregnancies have been attended throughout by complete amenorrhcea. The pelvis showed no increase in width, such as has been noticed in some cases of double uterus. The promontory of the sacrum ms somewhat prominent, and there was some contraction of the conjugate diameter of the brim, without, however, those changes in the external measurements characteristic of the rachitic flattened pelvis. The measurements were : diagonal conjugate, 44 inches ; distance of iliac crests, 10i inches ; distance of iliac spines, 9 inches. Oar best thanks are due to Dr. Culling worth and Dr. Cory for permission to publish this case. REMARKABLE CASE OF PERFORATION OF EYEBALL.
