BACKGROUNDFungal keratitis is a significant cause of ocular morbidity and unilateral blindness worldwide. The incidence varies with various geographical location and is more common in tropical countries. They are the predominant type of infective corneal ulcers in South India. Identifying the fungal spectrum in each geographical location may help to choose the initial treatment. Aim of the study was to identify spectrum of fungi, to assess the response to the standard treatment given and to find out the sensitivity and specificity of KOH preparation in clinically diagnosed fungal corneal ulcers in patients attending a tertiary care centre in Kerala.

ABSTRACT:We present a case of a child with Cleidocranial Dysplasia (CD) undergoing multiple teeth extraction. This is an autosomal dominant skeletal dysplasia characterized by developmental abnormalities of bony structures such as supernumerary teeth, brachycephalic skull, short stature and hypoplastic or aplastic clavicles. These structural abnormalities may pose challenges to anaesthetic management. However, there are only limited literatures describing anaesthetic implications of CD patients. Characteristics of this genetic disorder and implications for the anaesthesiologist are discussed.
