A case of Candida costochondritis seen initially as a chest wall tumor in a narcotic addict is reported. Bone and cartilage are rare sites of Candida infection from whatever cause. Since 1973, only 6 cases of Candida costochondritis have been reported; 5 were complications of thoracic operations and the other, of intravenous hyperalimentation. Treatment by a one-stage en bloc resection of chest wall, and reconstruction by rib graft and Marlex mesh resulted in cure in our patient, without complications.
We report a child with isolated saggital synostosis where a gradual deterioration of the P100 component of the pattern reversal visual evoked potential recorded during the day was associated with episodes of upper airway obstruction during sleep that correlated with periods of ICP spiking. Adenoid-tonsillectomy reversed this deterioration with coincident increase in SaO2 and decreased sleep apnoea.
