RESUMO
Ocular involvement by cysticercosis is uncommon and rare in the anterior chamber. It can give rise to iridocyclitis which can be potentially blinding to the patient. The management is usually surgical. We report a case of 18-year-old girl with large cysticercosis cyst in the anterior chamber. The cyst was removed intact by viscoexpression technique from the anterior chamber of the eye and the patient achieved visual acuity of 6/9 post-operatively

Scapulothoracic dissociation is a rare and complex injury pattern with varied presentation. Here we describe a case of a 32-year-old male who presented with scapulothoracic dissociation associated with brachial plexus injury, along with scapholunate dissociation. We also propose an injury mechanism that might link the two injury patterns, suggesting that the association might be more than by chance. The patient was managed according to established trauma care and resuscitation protocols followed by open reduction and internal fixation of the clavicle fracture, and fixation of scapholunate dissociation and had a successful outcome at follow-up.

Fractures of the proximal humerus are uncommon in young patients. Although bilateral fracture of proximal humerus itself is rare, association with epilepsy and electrocution is frequent. Only one case of traumatic bilateral proximal humerus fracture has been reported in the literature. We report a rare case of bilateral traumatic displaced proximal humerus fractures in a 40 years old male patient, which was treated by means of open reduction and internal fixation with proximal humerus locked pates on both sides and obtained a good functional outcome.
