Forty-four patients of meralgia paraesthetica presented with combination of symptoms mainly of numbness with loss of superficial sensation on the anterolateral aspect of a thigh were selected for the study. They responded well to local infiltration of hydrocortisone acetate and lignocaine hydrochloride which not only helped in diagnosis but also prevented the recurrence of symptoms in majority of cases.

A total of 13321 consecutive live births were studied for the incidence of congenital musculoskeletal malformations (CMSM) in neonates in relation to mother's age, parity, social class, sex and birth weight of the child. In all, 64 CMSM were observed in 54 neonates (4.054 per thousand live births). Congenital talipes equinovarus was the commonest CMSM while polydactyly and arthrogryposis were the next common CMSM in order of frequency. CMSM were more commonly seen in lower socio-economic class and in low birth weight babies.
