Diagnosis of Sanfilippo disease correlating clinical, radiological and biochemical findings-a case report.

ABSTRACT: Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are a group of genetic diseases and its diagnosis is a challenging task due to multiple differential diagnosis. We had combined clinical findings, radiological and ophthalmological features. Biochemical test for urine glycosaminoglycans (GAG) was done for confirmation of diagnosis in the patient. The case of Sanfilippo disease was characterized by slowly progressive, severe CNS involvement with mild somatic disease. Radiological features were suggestive of Sanfilippo disease and urine GAG test for MPS was positive in the case. With the clinical features we had multiple differential diagnoses. The radiological investigations minimized the list and the biochemical test confirmed GAG in urine. In this case the combination of clinical, radiological and biochemical findings confirmed the diagnosis of Sanfilippo disease.

Radiological and Clinical Findings of Multiple Cerebellar Liponeurocytoma: A Case Report.

Project description:Background: Cerebellar liponeurocytoma is an extremely rare benign tumor which generally occurs in cerebellum and is almost always solitary. Multifocal cerebellar liponeurocytoma is exceedingly rare, only 8 cases has been reported so far. Herein we present the 9th case of multifocal cerebellar liponeurocytoma in a 70-year-old woman with the complete clinical course and comprehensive imaging findings. Case Presentation: A 70-year-old woman presented with a history of intermittent headache for 5 years. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain have been performed and suggested a diagnosis of teratoma based on the imaging findings. After the surgical resection of the lesion, histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses revealed neuronal, glial, and lipomatous components and confirmed the diagnosis of multifocal cerebellar liponeurocytoma after surgical resection. During the 2-year follow-up period, the patient showed no signs of recurrence or metastasis. Conclusion: We described the radiological characteristics and clinical course of an exceedingly rare case of multifocal cerebellar liponeurocytoma in the cerebellar vermis and temporal lobe. The clear multifocality makes this case unusual.

Correlating Photoreceptor Mosaic Structure to Clinical Findings in Stargardt Disease.

Project description:To demonstrate a method for correlating photoreceptor mosaic structure with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and microperimetry findings in patients with Stargardt disease.A total of 14 patients with clinically diagnosed Stargardt disease were imaged using confocal and split-detection adaptive optics scanning light ophthalmoscopy. Cone photoreceptors were identified manually in a band along the temporal meridian. Resulting values were compared to a normative database (n = 9) to generate cone density deviation (CDD) maps. Manual measurement of outer nuclear layer plus Henle fiber layer (ONL+HFL) thickness was performed, in addition to determination of the presence of ellipsoid zone (EZ) and interdigitation zone (IZ) bands on OCT. These results, along with microperimetry data, were overlaid with the CDD maps.Wide variation in foveal structure and CDD maps was seen within this small group. Disruption of ONL+HFL and/or IZ band was seen in all patients, with EZ band preservation in regions with low cone density in 38% of locations analyzed. Normality of retinal lamellar structure on OCT corresponded with cone density and visual function at 50/78 locations analyzed. Outer retinal tubulations containing photoreceptor-like structures were observed in 3 patients.The use of CDD color-coded maps enables direct comparison of cone mosaic local density with other measures of retinal structure and function. Larger normative datasets and improved tools for automation of image alignment are needed.The approach described facilitates comparison of complex multimodal data sets from patients with inherited retinal degeneration, and can be expanded to incorporate other structural imaging or functional testing.

Sanfilippo type A: new clinical manifestations and neuro-imaging findings in patients from the same family in Israel: a case report.

Project description:INTRODUCTION: Sanfilippo syndrome type A (mucopolysaccharidosis IIIA - MPS IIIA) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency in sulfamidase. CASE PRESENTATION: Two daughters (13 and 11 years old) of a consanguineous Palestinian family from the Israeli Arab community were investigated clinically and genetically for the presence of progressive neurodegenerative disease, psychomotor retardation and behavioral abnormalities. Development was normal up to one year of age. Thereafter, progressive motor and speech delay started. Metabolic screening including glycosaminoglycans, karyotype testing and magnetic resonance imaging were normal. Later in the disease, they developed severe spasticity and intellectual disability with autistic features and incontinence. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed diffuse hypomyelination with thinning of the corpus callosum. Genetic examination through whole exome sequencing revealed a homozygous mutation c.416C >T (p.T139M) in the N-sulfoglucosamine sulfohydrolase (SGSH) gene. Repeated biochemical testing at age 11 and 13 revealed increased levels of glycosaminoglycans confirming the diagnosis of Sanfilippo syndrome type A. CONCLUSION: These cases were considered to be the first report of Sanfilippo syndrome in Israel. We recommend that if similar clinical features are present during childhood, it is preferred to go directly and primarily for a genetic diagnosis of Sanfilippo syndrome, then secondarily for other lysosomal storage disorders that may also be involved.

Clinical and radiological findings in a severe case of cleidocranial dysplasia.

Project description:Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is a rare congenital autosomal dominant condition, causing hypoplasia of the clavicle, abnormal formation of teeth, skeletal and craniofacial bones. CCD is caused by the mutation of RUNX2/CBFA1 present in the short arm of chromosome 6 at position 21.1, a transcription factor essential for the formation of teeth, cartilage and bone. Patients with CCD show the classical features of excessive mobility of the shoulder bone, lack of resorption of the deciduous teeth, failure to erupt permanent teeth, multiple impacted and supernumerary teeth, and open fontanelle and sutures of the skull. In this article we report a case of CCD in a 16-year-old male patient, with an aim to highlight the clinical, radiological and recommended treatment guidelines.

Discrepancy between radiological and histological findings in ganglioglioma of the optic chasm: Case report.

Project description:Gangliogliomas involving the optic nerve or chiasm are extremely rare tumors, which can be confused radiologically with other neoplasms. α-[N-methyl-11C]-methylaminoisobutyric acid (11C-MeAIB) is a new artificial amino acid positron emission tomography (PET) tracer, which is metabolically more stable in vivo and may be more specific for tumors than 11C-methionine. However, the utility of 11C-MeAIB PET in the diagnosis of brain tumors has not yet been reported.A 26-year-old man presented with visual field defects and headache, and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a suprasellar mass involving the optic chiasm. A biopsy and partial tumor resection were performed via an interhemispheric approach. We diagnosed the tumor as ganglioglioma (WHO grade I) involving the optic chiasm. Although this lesion was histologically benign, 11C-MeAIB PET, 2-deoxy-2-[18F] fluoro-D-glucose (18F-FDG) PET and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy indicated malignant features.The discrepancy between radiological and histological findings implies that this new amino acid tracer PET may have a limitation in the diagnosis of gangliogliomas. Although further study is necessary, gangliogliomas should be included in the differential diagnosis of suprasellar tumors, even if PET findings show malignant features.

Case Report: Molecular Profiling Facilitates the Diagnosis of a Challenging Case of Lung Cancer with Choriocarcinoma Features

Project description:Accurate diagnoses are crucial in determining the most effective treatment across different cancers. In challenging cases, morphology-based traditional pathology methods have important limitations, while molecular profiling can provide valuable information to guide clinical decisions. We present a 35-year female with lung cancer with choriocarcinoma features. Her disease involved the right lower lung, brain, and thoracic lymph nodes. The pathology from brain metastasis was reported as “metastatic choriocarcinoma” (a germ cell tumor) by local pathologists. She initiated carboplatin and etoposide, a regimen for choriocarcinoma. Subsequently, her case was assessed by pathologists from an academic cancer center, who gave the diagnosis of “adenocarcinoma with aberrant expression of β-hCG” and finally pathologists at our hospital, who gave the diagnosis of “poorly differentiated carcinoma with choriocarcinoma features”. Genomic profiling detected a KRAS G13R mutation and transcriptomics profiling was suggestive of lung origin. The patient was treated with carboplatin/paclitaxel/ipilimumab/nivolumab followed by consolidation radiation therapy. She had no evidence of progression to date, 13 months after the initial presentation. The molecular profiling could facilitate diagnosing of challenging cancer cases. In addition, chemoimmunotherapy and local consolidation radiation therapy may provide promising therapeutic options for patients with lung cancer exhibiting choriocarcinoma features.

Ultrasonographic findings and diagnosis of omental dedifferentiated liposarcoma: a case report.

Project description:Liposarcoma is one of the most common types of soft tissue sarcomas and can develop at any site, although omental liposarcoma is extremely rare. Omental liposarcoma has a poor prognosis because the diagnosis is difficult, until it presents as a large tumor causing severe noticeable clinical symptoms. A 51-year-old male with lower abdominal pain was referred to our clinic. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed an ill-defined, solid, heterogeneous, and hypoechoic tumor deep in the lower abdomen. Generally, liposarcomas are hyperechoic, though 20% of liposarcomas present as hypoechoic tumors. This variation might occur depending on the pathological classification. We should consider the possibility of a dedifferentiated component if ultrasonography reveals typical features of soft tissue sarcoma with hypoechoic lesion.

Case Report: Making a diagnosis of familial renal disease - clinical and patient perspectives.

Project description:BackgroundA precise molecular genetic diagnosis has become the gold standard for the correct identification and management of many inherited renal diseases.MethodsHere we describe a family with familial focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, and include a clinical and patient perspective on the diagnostic workup and relaying of genetic results following whole exome sequencing.ResultsThrough next generation sequencing approaches, we identified a pathogenic mutation in TRPC6, the underlying cause of the phenotype. The identification of this mutation had important clinical consequences for the family, including allowing a living-unrelated kidney transplant to proceed in the index case. There are also wider ranging social and ethical dilemmas presented when reaching a genetic diagnosis like this one, which are explored here by both physicians and the index case.ConclusionsThrough physician and patient perspectives in a family with inherited renal failure we explore the implications and the magnitude of a molecular genetic diagnosis.

Intrathyroidal parathyroid carcinoma: a case report with clinical and histological findings.

Project description:The chance of an intrathyroidal occurrence of a parathyroid gland is about 1-3%. Among the causes of hyperparathyroidism, parathyroid cases occur in less than 1% of patients. Here we present the case of a 63 year old Saudi female suffering from an intrathyroidal parathyroid carcinoma. The suspicion coming from the clinical investigations that the removed tumor tissue may be a parathyroid carcinoma could be confirmed by histology. Additionally non-radioactive in situ hybridization to localize mRNA transcripts for Cyclin D1 and immunohistochemical localization of Cyclin D1 was performed. Although parathyroid adenoma and carcinoma have disparate natural history, it can be difficult to differentiate between the two entities. Clinical presentation, operative findings may raise suspicion, but may not be conclusive especially if there is no evidence of invasion or metastasis, especially if the gland was intrathyroidal.

Various radiological findings in patients with COVID-19: A case series.

Project description:IntroductionRadiological evaluation of suspected COVID-19 patients is required for early detection of thoracic involvement, particularly in emergency units, while waiting for definitive diagnosis by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Here, we report a case series of CXR findings in Indonesian patients with COVID-19 in our institution.Presentation of casesWe included 7 patients with COVID-19 confirmed by RT-PCR, including 4 females and 3 males, with ages ranging from 36 to 71 years. All patients showed abnormal findings on CXR when admitted to the hospital, except one, composed of ground glass opacity (GGO) (n = 1), consolidation (n = 3), and both (n = 2). Both and one side of the lung were affected in three and three (left side = 2; right side = 1) patients, respectively. Pneumonia degrees of mild, moderate and severe were observed in three, one, and two patients, respectively. All patients eventually recovered.DiscussionCXR is the most common radiological examination for patients with respiratory disorders, including COVID-19, and it is readily available in almost all health care facilities. The imaging manifestation of COVID-19 is similar to viral pneumonia but also has its own characteristics, including GGO, consolidation, multiple plaque shadows, and interstitial changes that are mostly seen in peripherals and subpleural areas, as well as shadow infiltration in both lungs.ConclusionCXR showed various abnormality findings in patients with COVID-19, including the type, location, and degree of pneumonia. Moreover, CXR is considered more effective and useful for initial screening and follow-up of the progress of patients with COVID-19.
