Acute myelogenous leukaemia presenting with mid-foot pain after an inversion injury.

The case is presented of a 5 year old boy who attended after an inversion injury. He had persistent pain despite treatment and was subsequently diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukaemia. It is well recognised that acute leukaemia commonly presents as non-traumatic limb pain. This case highlights the need to consider acute leukaemia in the differential diagnosis of any persisting bone or joint pain, even in the context of recent injury.

Acute ethylene oxide intoxication.

A case of acute ethylene oxide intoxication is described in which neurological involvement was present. Three recurrent seizures over a period of an hour were observed in a 43-year-old female. The patient continued to complain of malaise and inability to perform minor motor tasks up to one week after discharge. Neurological evaluation conducted three weeks after toxic exposure was completely normal. A two-month follow-up showed the patient to be asymptomatic without recurrence of symptoms.
