Abstract

Introduction: Animal bites are a less common cause of pediatric injury. They are rarely associated with fractures in toddlers. Child abuse is the most closely related differential diagnosis in a child presenting with animal bite and it is a serious threat to both mental health and physical well-being of pediatric population. In all such cases with diagnostic dilemma, battered child syndrome (BCS) needs to be ruled out and reported. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no case report of bilateral femur fracture after a pig bite injury in a toddler with gangrene of bilateral foot. Hence, we report this case to highlight the importance of differentiating animal bite injuries to BCS. Case Report: We report a rare case of pig bite injury with bilateral femur fracture and bilateral foot gangrene in a case of an 11-month-old female child suffering from BCS. Conclusion: Apart from the medical and surgical management of pediatric injuries, it is essential to determine the cause of pediatric fractures and differentiate between abuse and accidental trauma. Identification of the etiology is significant to make sure that proper multidisciplinary intervention is initiated for the safety of the child.

Abstract

Ocular cysticercosis is caused by the larval form of pork tapeworm for which humans and pigs are the intermediate hosts. Intense inflammation secondary to immunological reaction is the hallmark feature of the infection, which can affect almost any tissue of the host. Orbital imaging yields specific features suggestive of the diagnosis. Although medical management is the recommended treatment for extra-ocular and retro-orbital cysticercosis, surgical removal has also been suggested by several authors. Here, we report two cases of subconjunctival cysticercosis, successfully managed with medical treatment alone using oral steroid and albendazole. Surgical excision for subconjunctival cysticercosis is associated with complications which can be observed even with the most experienced hands. Through these two cases, we wish to sensitize the practicing physicians regarding the most common ocular infestation seen in the developing countries along with brief literature review on the management protocols to be followed before any surgical reference.
