We report a case of Fahrs disease in a 15year old girl presented to us with focal seizure with secondary generalisation. Clinically there were no abnormal findings. The CT scan (brain) showed multiple symmetric and extensive calcifications in the basal ganglia, thalamus, and dentate nucleus, subcortical white matter of cerebral and cerebellar areas. Presently the child is under followup with good seizure control with carbamezpine. This rare case of idiopathic Fahr’s disease in a child, which has never been reported in Indian literature has been brought out to highlight this unusual condition and its differentiation from the commoner Fahr’s syndrome.
ABSTRACT
Congenital intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunt (IHPSVS) is rare vascular anomaly. We present one case of a 14- month male child who presented with global developmental delay. Child had high ammonia levels with low glutamine and high bile salts on the previous investigations and had history of neonatal seizures since day 13 of life. On admission, serum ammonia levels were elevated to 112μmol/L. Other laboratory investigations including liver and renal function test, and electrolytes were normal. He was, diagnosed to have IHPSVS on the basis of Doppler and CT, and treated by embolization with n-butyl cyanoacrylate (glue). A brief review of diagnostic modalities and endovascular management for the IHPSVS is presented including the present case.

A patient with a paraumbilical hernia containing the stomach is reported for its imaging curiosity. Ultrasonography showed a cystic mass in the anterior abdominal wall in the epigastrium with a defect in the linea alba. Evaluation by barium meal study showed complete obstruction to contrast in distal part of the stomach. On exploration, the stomach was found in the hernial sac with constriction in the body of the stomach.
