Preface
Dear Friends,
Crazy Hope u all enjoyed writing the
AIIMS May 2010 Paper! It was
Complete really an exhilarating experience
for all of us. This paper can
Compendium undoubtedly be termed as the
“craziest” of the AIIMS Paper till
of now…so many repeats were there
that we had to literally hunt for
AIIMS May the new questions! But then
again, those Profs at AIIMS know
2010 very well how to fool the students.
Some questions had their
“EXCEPT” omitted, and whether
they did it intentionally or it was
the printer’s devil…we can at best
speculate. Some questions though
looked easy, had some twists in
them. And last but not the least, to
add to the confusion, some repeat
questions were there whose
answers as given in the Great
Grandfathers’ books (AA & MK)
are still controversial. To sum up,
it was really a crazy paper which
only AIIMS can set!
So here’s the crazy solution to all

those crazy questions. I am
grateful to all my friends of
CNMC Medicos02 & those at
various forums who helped me to
recollect the questions &
encouraged me to write this book.

Ankylosing spinal hyperostosis refers to

stiffness or fusion of the spine due to excessive
bone formation. It is also known as diffuse
idiopathis skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) or
ankylosing vertebral hyperostosis, and is often
incorrectly called Forestier's disease. A form of
degenerative arthritis, this disorder involves
sections of the ligaments in the spine turning
into bone--a process also known as "flowing
calcification," because it usually extends along
the sides of the vertebrae.
Ankylosing spinal hyperostosis affects three or

more vertebrae between the chest and pelvis.
We mainly see it in men, ages 50-60, along
with diabetes, heart disease, obesity and high
blood pressure. Often, physicians confuse the
stiffness in the spine that accompanies
ankylosing spinal hyperostosis with ankylosing
spondylitis.
Radiographs of the spine typically demonstrate

and areas related to the type of surgery
performed. According to data from 53 patients
with different causes of CSF rhinorrhea, 39% of
leaks occurred in the region of the cribriform plate
and air cells of the ethmoid sinus; in 15% of
leaks, the fistula extended to the frontal sinus;
and in another 15%, the leak was in the area of

Common sites of injury secondary to endoscopic

near the anterior and medial sphenoid wall.
Rarely, the leak can originate in the middle or
posterior cranial fossa and can reach the nasal
