When congenital contractures affect only one body part, they are referred to as isolated congenital contractures rather than arthrogryposis. Clubfoot is the most common solitary congenital contracture. Arthrogryposis multiplex refers to arthrogryposis that affects two or more separate parts of the body.

Amniotic band sequence (ABS) refers to a variable spectrum of congenital anomalies that occur in association with fibrous amniotic bands. The abnormalities are typically limited to external structures, most frequently to limbs and digits resulting in digital amputation and constriction rings. Sometimes ABS may be associated with visceral abnormalities and clubfoot. We report a case of ABS with clubfoot in a neonate

Invasive fungal infections are common among infants hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Central Nervous System (CNS) involvement occurs in two third of the disseminated fungal sepsis. Fungal cerebral abscess is one of the severe complications of disseminated fungal sepsis. We report a case of multiple fungal brain abscesses in a term neonate, which was successfully treated with Liposomal Amphotericin B.
