Abstract: Tolosa Hunt Syndrome(THS) is acute ophthalmoplegia with or without involvement of optic nerve and ophthalmic division of trigeminal nerve and responding promptly to steroid treatment. Its recurrence is well known on the same side but involvement of the alternating side is quite rare . We describe 23 yr female patient who had MRI documented involvement of alternate eye separately at an interval of two years and the symptoms had complete resolution with steroids at both occasions. MRI documented THS has been rarely reported.

Key Words : Tolosa-Hunt Syndrome , Opthalmoplegia , Alternating ,Recurrence, MRI

Abstract: The term success or failures in endodontics must be defined rigidity, in order to be meaningful. A clear definition & agreement of what constitute a failure following endodontic treatment does not exist among endodontist. The dentist had reduced criteria for success of endodontic treatment to a very narrow definition to absence of pain. How convenient it would be if this concept could be totally accepted. Unfortunately absence of pain is not completely a reliable measure for good health or success in endodontic treatment. Countless peoples are living today with some disease in its pain free stage after endodontic treatment. Endodontic treatment apparently success's in some cases in spite of, our best efforts. These fortunate circumstances can also be attributed to a tremendous capacity of body's natural defences to cope with infections and to enhance the body's survival rate.

Abstract:The frequent occurrence of Candida infections in patients with diabetes mellitus has been recognized for many years and is thought to be more prevalent among these individuals. The objective of the study was to focus on the isolation of non- albicans Candida in urine of diabetic patients. A total of 80 samples in urine of diabetic patients treated in hospitals, clinics and nursing homes and from pathological laboratories at Gwalior (M.P.), India were recruited for the study. Among the diabetic patients 62.5 % (50/80) had Candida infections. The major Candida species isolated were Candida tropicalis 34% (17) followed by C. albicans 30% (15), C. parapsilosis 16% (08), C. glabrata 14% (07) and C. krusei 6% (03). This study indicates that non- albicans Candida are also emerging in urine of diabetic patients.

Abstract:Odontogenic myxoma results from failure of normal development and growth of epithelial, mesenchymal structures of teeth and associated tissues as a whole or part resulted in the formation of the tumour myxoma. WHO defined as the benign tumour of ectomesenchymal origin with or without odontogenic epithelium. The myxoma of dental origin has claimed only 3-6% of all the odontogenic tumours. Though the tumours are benign in nature they exhibit unlimited aggressive growth potential. Myxomas are commonly seen in between 2 -3 decades and have high recurrence rate of 15-20%. They are more predominantly seen in females and more commonly in the posterior part of the jaws. Most of the time patient never seeks treatment for the tumour for a long time as the tumour is symptom free before it reaches to a considerable size. A 14 year old boy who had been presented with the complaints of a swelling and numbness in the left maxilla was diagnosed as fibro myxoma and managed conservatively in order to preserve the uninvolved structures and to maintain the functional stability is described in this article
