RESUMO
A 40-year-old female with a basal-cell carcinoma in maxillary osteomyelitis is reported. Blood-stained discharge from a sinus associated with ulceration of the infra-orbital region and the onset of blindness wree the presenting features. It is suggested that biopsies from multiple sites of the lesion rather than reliance on the clinical picture would help in detecting early malignant change.

A diploic dermoid involving the orbital plate of the frontal bone is described in a 52-year-old man. It presented proptosis, downward displacement of the globe and limitation of its movement while looking up. Its extension into the anterior cranial fossa was detected by injecting a radio-opaque material into the cyst.

A case of anterior lenticonus with haematuria and sensorineural deafness is presented. It is suggested that the anterior lenticonus forms an important clue to the diagnosis of Alport's syndrome which can be confirmed by detailed audiometric examination and urine analysis of other family members.

Clinical, radiological, and microbiological features of seven cases of osteomyelitis involving the orbital parts of the frontal, the maxillary, and the zygomatic bones are described. The cases were managed with antibiotics, curettage, and sequestrectomy. Problems in the correction of deformities due to circatrization are discussed. It is observed that a skin graft at second stage may be a success.
