226) Occult Filariasis means

a. Microfilarie Not Seen In peripheral blood, but seen in tissues

b. Microfilarie Not Seen In tissues but seen in peripheral blood

c. Both

d. None of the above

Answer : ( d)

Reference:

Bailey and Love 24th Edition Page 164

Ä The term Occult Filariasis is commonly used to designate filarial infections in which mf are not found in the periphral blood although they may be seen in other body fluids and tissues. However, it has now been shown that in some cases with occult filariasis, mf may actually be found after more careful blood examination despite their low density. Occult filariasis is believed to result from a hypersensitivity reaction to filarial antigens derived from microfilariae.Only a very small proportion of individuals in a community where filariasis is endemic develop occult forms of the disease.

227) Asymmetrical Septal Hypertrophy with Myocardial disarray is seen in

a. VSD

b. ASD

c. HOCM

d. None of the above

Answer : ( c) HOCM

Reference: Braunwald Chapter 3 - echocardiography

Hypertrophy of the septum with abnormal organization of myocardial cells may be one of the basic abnormalities of HCM, and a key echocardiographic finding is disproportionate hypertrophy of the septum in relation to the posterior wall of the left ventricle, so that the ratio of thickness of the septum to the free wall exceeds 1.3:1.0 and the motion of the hypertrophied septum is reduced. It has also been shown that asymmetrical septal hypertrophy (ASH) is frequently transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait and that there are patients with asymmetrical septal hypertrophy who do not show SAM and therefore do not have obstruction to left ventricular outflow. These patients may be considered to have HCM without obstruction. While the concept of recognizing ASH with or without obstruction to left ventricular outflow by echocardiography is an important one, there are limitations to echocardiographic diagnosis. First, the thickness of the septum may be difficult to measure precisely echocardiographically. Second, it must be appreciated that ASH is not pathognomonic for HCM and related myopathies and can occur in a variety of other disease states, including right ventricular hypertrophy. In addition, some patients with HCM may have concentric rather than asymmetrical hypertrophy, in which the septal and posterior left ventricular walls are equal in thickness.

232) All are true regarding Mobius Syndrome except

a. Bilateral Abductor Palsy

b. Bilateral Facial Palsy

c. Both

d. None

Answer : ( d)

Reference: Nelson 15th Edition Table 266.1 and Chapter 574

Ä The distinctive features of Möbius syndrome are congenital facial paresis and abduction weakness.

o The facial palsy is commonly bilateral, frequently asymmetric, and often incomplete, tending to spare the lower face and platysma. Ectropion, epiphora, and exposure keratopathy may develop.

o The abduction defect may be unilateral or bilateral. It is usually complete, and esotropia is common.

Ä The etiology is unknown. Whether the primary defect is maldevelopment of cranial nerve nuclei, hypoplasia of the muscles, or a combination of central and peripheral factors is unclear. Gestational factors such as trauma, illness, and intake of various drugs, particularly thalidomide, have been implicated. Some familial cases have been reported. Associated developmental defects may include ptosis, palatal and lingual palsy, hearing loss, pectoral and lingual muscle defects, micrognathia, syndactyly, supernumerary digits, or the absence of hands, feet, fingers, or toes. Surgical correction of the esotropia is indicated in selected cases, and any attendant amblyopia should be treated.

Ä In newborns, the first symptom is an inability to suck. Excessive drooling and strabismus (crossed eyes) may occur. Other symptoms may include lack of facial expression; inability to smile; feeding, swallowing, and choking problems; eye sensitivity; motor delays; high or cleft palate; hearing problems; and speech difficulties. Deformities of the tongue, jaw, and limbs, such as club foot and missing or webbed fingers, may also occur.

Ä Most patients have low muscle tone, especially in the upper body. Mental retardation may also occur. As children get older, lack of facial expression and inability to smile become the dominant visible symptoms.

235) Enterofaecal Fistula which results in leakage of feces is due to

a. Persistent Omphalo Mesenteric Duct

b. Patent Urachus

c. Both

d. None

Answer : ( a) Persistent Omphalo Mesenteric Duct

Reference: Surgical Short Cases, S.Das, 2nd Edition Page 235

Omphalomesenteric Duct Remnants.

Ä Remnants of the omphalomesenteric (vitelline) duct may present as abnormalities related to the abdominal wall. In the fetus, the omphalomesenteric duct connects the fetal midgut to the yolk sac. This normally obliterates and disappears completely. However, any or all of the fetal duct may persist and give rise to symptoms.

Ä An umbilical polyp is a small excrescence of omphalomesenteric duct mucosa that is retained in the umbilicus. Such polyps resemble umbilical granulomas except that they do not disappear after silver nitrate cauterization. They may be associated with a persistent vitelline duct or umbilical sinus. Appropriate treatment is excision of the mucosal remnant.

Ä Umbilical sinuses result from the continued presence of the umbilical end of the omphalomesenteric duct. These resemble umbilical polyps, but close inspection reveals the presence of a sinus tract deep to the umbilicus. The morphology of the sinus tract can be readily delineated with a sinogram. Treatment is excision of the sinus.

Ä Persistence of the entire omphalomesenteric duct is heralded by the passage of enteric contents from the umbilicus. This is seen in the early neonatal period and should be treated promptly with laparotomy and excision of the duct to avoid intussusception or volvulus.

Ä Cystic remnants of the omphalomesenteric duct may persist and be asymptomatic for long periods of time. The cysts may be connected to the ileum with a fibrous band that is a remnant of the obliterated omphalomesenteric duct. Patients may present with acute volvulus and intestinal obstruction or with acute abdomen because of cyst infection. The cysts usually remain undiagnosed until operation, at which time they should be excised.

Ä Meckel's diverticulum results when the intestinal end of the omphalomesenteric duct persists. This is a true diverticulum of the intestine with all layers of the intestinal wall represented.
