External hydrocephalus: a report of 16 cases from Oman.

Sixteen cases of external hydrocephalus (EH) were seen from January 1993 to June 1995. There were 13 (81 per cent) male and three female children. Fourteen (88 per cent) were under 12 months of age. Three siblings with EH were seen in one family. All, but three recovered over time without medical or surgical intervention. These three needed cerebral decongestants in the acute phase. This is the first report of EH from Oman.

Epidemiological and clinical features of rotavirus gastroenteritis in Oman.

Two-hundred-and-seventeen children admitted with diarrhoea and 204 unmatched controls hospitalized during the 2-year period from November 1990 to October 1992 were included in this prospective study. Their stool samples were subjected to microscopy, cultures, ELISA for rotavirus and electron microscopy. Human rotavirus (HRV) was detected in 68 (31 per cent) of the stool samples in the study group and 12 (6 per cent) in the control group. There was an increased incidence in the cooler months of the year; typically, most of the affected infants and children presented with vomiting and respiratory symptoms, and had mild to moderate dehydration. Biochemical profile showed normal or hyponatraemia and normokalaemia. A more detailed community-based study of diarrhoeal diseases in Oman is to follow this pilot study.
