Interesting cases
Burkitt's Lymphoma: Relatively common in central Africa; our success rate over the past 4 years after chemotherapy is 100%.
Hydrocephalus: this child was successfully referred for the insertion of A/V shunt - a line inserted under the skin, enabling the fluid to drain down into the perineum.
Tropical ulcers: vital that they are treated early and they heal well. Left untreated, will deteriorate, possibly leading to the need for amputation.
