Consanguineous marriage shares blood lineage and is known to cause genetic defect in progenies through transmission of detrimental genes from both parents. Autosomal recessive disorders are well known in this context. Transmission of chromosomal rearrangements through consanguinity is not a very common example.

High-grade AV block affects around 0.04% of the population. In the elderly, it is mostly attributed to age-related conduction system degeneration. On the other hand, high-grade AV block in young adults is rare. It prompts the search for a structural abnormality or a systemic disease such as infections, auto-immune diseases, sarcoidosis, and rare diseases as mitochondrial mutation syndromes.

Imaging of Superior Oblique Palsy (SOP) consistently shown a variable degree of hypoplasia of the paretic Superior Oblique muscle (SO) and variable trochlear nerve absence. But SO absence is very rare in imaging examination, especially in both eyes.

A 63-year-old man, a chronic active smoker with a history of solid dysphagia for 4 months, presented with mild hemoptysis for the past 15 days, complicated by respiratory distress, leading to his hospitalization in the emergency department. The patient was polyene with SpO2 of 85% in ambient air. The X-ray did not show any abnormalities, and the ECG was unremarkable.

Neurocutaneous melanocytosis is one of the neurocutaneous syndromes. This condition is a rare but serious congenital condition that is characterised by hyperpigmented melanocytic naevi of varying size and number with associated melanocytosis of the leptomeninges. This is a case of a newborn baby that was antenatally discovered to have dilated ventricles and on delivery found to have multiple hyperpigmented lesions over the skin suggestive of this condition.

Sudden deafness is a common cause of emergency consultations in otology. Usually, despite investigation, no aetiology is known. Intracochlear haemorrhage, is a rare cause of Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SSNHL) and may be associated with various labyrinthine disorders. In these cases, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the clef of diagnosis.

Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) is a gram negative organism commonly associated with respiratory tract infection. Isolated Invasive K. pneumoniae brain abscess and meningitis is extremely rare especially in an immunocompetent patient. There have been emerging cases of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae reported in Asia-Pacific [1].

Accidental ingestion of hydrocarbon in children is common in developing countries, the main complication of which is chemical pneumonia with deaths occurring in four to ten percent of reported cases. Among various pulmonary complications, pneumatocele is a complication known in the literature unlike the evolution of pneumonia towards an abscess which is considered relatively rare.

A diabetes mellitus is one of the most commonly occurred non communicable disease which affects approximately 422 million peoples worldwide. The mortality of 2 million people per year is estimated due to diabetes and its complication [1]. Diabetic foot is most commonly found chronic complication of Diabetes and leading indication of prolonged hospital stay for its management.

An 18-week pregnant female walked into our antenatal care for her first scan. On doing the first scan, it was evident that the foetus was malformed because the fetal limbs were untraceable, and also, the whole foetus was crumpled like a ball. The sac and the foetus were small and inconsistent with an 18-week pregnancy.
