Juvenile Spondyloarthritis with Microscopic Colitis.

We report an adolescent girl with long standing spondyloarthritis and chronic diarrhea. Colonoscopy and biopsy revealed microscopic colitis. All serology and HLA-B27 were negative. This case is reported for its rarity and the need to evaluate gut in chronic arthritis to achieve clinical remission.

Bilateral congenital split hand with tibial aplasia.

The authors report on a child with bilateral typical split-hand (ectrodactyly) and tibial aplasia, probably the first Indian report. Minor limb malformations in the maternal side suggests an autosomal dominant inheritance. The clinical spectrum and the inheritance of this malformation are discussed. Prenatal screening in families with such malformations is essential.
