Treacher Collins syndrome is a congenital disorder with bilaterally symmetric anomalies of the structures developing from the first and second branchial arches. The ocular and orbital features are an obligatory component for the diagnosis. We presented a case of typical, complete syndrome and also reviewed the varied ophthalmological manifestations of the disease in the literature. Antimongoloid slanting of palpebral fissures and lower lid colobomas are constant features of the syndrome. However, varied ocular and lacrimal drainage anomalies are also associated. TCS is a syndrome with multiple ocular and orbital features, a knowledge of which will help in the diagnosis of incomplete forms of the syndrome.

555 clinically suspected cases of dermatomycoses were studied for causative fungi and their detailed clinical manifestations. The fungi were demonstrated on routine KOH mount and/or by culture in 464 cases (83.6%). Tinea corporis was the predominant fungal infection (30.6%) and T. rubrum was the main etiologic agent. Favus (T. schoenleini) was found only in cases from Jammu and Kashmir valleys. There was a high incidence of tinea capitis among children. Trichophyton tonsurans was isolated in cases of tinea corporis, tinea cruris, and tinea pedis. Trichophyton ferrugineum and T. verrucosum were isolated from cases of tinea capitis; and Microsporum gypseum was isolated from tinea cruris infections.
