ABSTRACT
A young male patient, a known case of Eale's disease presented with a large isolated aneurysm of the extra-cranial part of internal carotid artery. Detailed investigation failed to establish the etiology of the aneurysm, and it is possible that the underlying pathology may be the same as that of Eale's disease. Eale's disease is an idiopathic vascular disease of the peripheral retina and we hypothesize that aneurysm in this patient may be associated with Eale's disease of the eye.

Areflexic quadriplegia due to barium carbonate (rat poison) poisoning is described in two young patients. These cases very closely resembled Guillain-Barre syndrome. The various effects of barium carbonate along with the pathogenesis of hypokalaemic paralysis are highlighted.

Pseudomyxoma peritonei is characterized by diffuse collections of gelatinous flux resulting from implantation of malignant tumors or irritation from ruptured benign cysts. We report a patient with pseudomyxoma peritonei caused by an occult primary adenocarcinoma, who had both pleural and hepatic metastases.
