Incidence of infection is higher with the double bundle technique, however, the functional outcome is not affected (p value 0.231). Joint aspirate is the gold standard diagnostic test for infection. CRP and ESR are the next dependable tests with high sensitivity but their specificity is low. A thorough debridement is necessary apart from recommended antibiotic cover of 2 weeks IV followed by 4 weeks oral antibiotics.
Magnetic resonance imaging a b s t r a c tCNS is the most common site of involvement by cysticercosis. Symptomatic involvement of isolated skeletal muscle by solitary cysticercosis cyst is extremely rare. We report a rare and unusual case of cysticercosis presenting as acute calf pain, which is a diagnostic challenge. But the diagnosis was reached by sero-radiological examination and patient was managed conservatively by medical means.
Sirenomelia is a rare polymalformative, lethal congenital anomaly, characterized by fusion of both lower limbs, bilateral renal agenesis, absent external genitalia, aberrant fetal vasculature, and severe oligohydramnios.
