An 18 months old boy was brought with h/o irritability since 2 weeks and swelling of left eye. He was not taking feeds adequately for last 1 week . Mother had noticed swelling in left eye for last 3 days which is more in morning. There is no h/o insect bite or trauma. There are many pet animals in house. One of the following is most probable diagnosis:
- A.
Retinoblastoma
- B.
Vitreous Haemorrhage
- C.
Ocular Toxocariasis
- D.
Cataract
Correct Answer
C. Ocular ToxocariasisExplanation
Ocular toxocariasis is the most probable diagnosis in this case. The patient's symptoms of irritability, swelling of the left eye, and decreased appetite are consistent with ocular toxocariasis. The fact that the swelling is more prominent in the morning suggests that it may be due to an inflammatory response. Additionally, the presence of pet animals in the house increases the likelihood of exposure to Toxocara canis, the parasite responsible for ocular toxocariasis. Retinoblastoma, vitreous hemorrhage, and cataract are less likely based on the given clinical presentation.Rate this question:

Central cyanosis with systolic murmer is seen in
- A.
PDA
- B.
Endocardial cushion defect
- C.
TGA
- D.
VSD
Correct Answer
C. TGAExplanation
Central cyanosis with systolic murmur is seen in Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA). TGA is a congenital heart defect where the positions of the pulmonary artery and the aorta are switched, causing oxygen-poor blood to be circulated throughout the body. This results in cyanosis, a bluish discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes due to low oxygen levels. The systolic murmur is caused by abnormal blood flow through the heart.Rate this question:

Earliest change in a 1 year old child with raised ICT is
- A.
Posterior clinoid erosion
- B.
Sutural separation
- C.
Erosion of sella
- D.
Silver beaten appearance on X Ray Skull
Correct Answer
B. Sutural separationExplanation
Sutural separation refers to the widening or separation of the sutures in the skull. In a 1-year-old child with raised intracranial tension (ICT), sutural separation is the earliest change that can be observed. This is because the sutures in the skull are not fully fused at this age, and increased pressure within the skull can cause the sutures to separate. Other changes mentioned in the options, such as posterior clinoid erosion, erosion of sella, and silver beaten appearance on X-ray skull, may occur later in the course of raised ICT.Rate this question:

A 4 year old boy falls from the back of a 3 wheeler, hitting his head. He has no loss of consciousness, is alert and well oriented. On examination, he has blood behind his left tympanic membrane. CT Scan of skull is likely to show
- A.
Basilar fracture of skull
- B.
Epidural Hematoma
- C.
Intraventricular Haemorrhage
- D.
Subdural Hematoma
Correct Answer
A. Basilar fracture of skullExplanation
A basilar fracture of the skull is likely to be seen on a CT scan in this scenario. The presence of blood behind the left tympanic membrane suggests a possible fracture in the area. This type of fracture occurs at the base of the skull and is commonly associated with head trauma. It is important to note that the boy in the scenario is alert and well oriented, indicating that there is no loss of consciousness or significant neurological deficit. This further supports the likelihood of a basilar fracture, as more severe injuries such as epidural or subdural hematomas would typically present with altered mental status.Rate this question:
