Central and peripheral dysmyelination in a 3-year-old girl with ring chromosome 18.

ABSTRACT: Myelin basic protein (MBP) contributes to peripheral and central nervous system myelin. Developmental myelinopathies exist on a clinical spectrum, but MBP is not included on leukodystrophy or CMT gene panels. This ring chromosome 18 case presents serial MRI and EMG/NCS, shedding light on the early clinical course of the disorder.

Peripheral odontogenic myxoma in a 12-year-old girl: a rare entity.

Project description:Peripheral odontogenic myxoma is a rare odontogenic tumor representing an extra osseous counterpart of central odontogenic myxoma. It is commonly seen in gingiva between the 3rd and 4th decades of life and appears predominantly in females. Compared to central odontogenic myxoma, it is a less aggressive, slow-growing lesion with a low recurrence rate. However, close postoperative follow-up is required because of the unlimited growth potential of incompletely removed lesions. It shares many features with other soft tissue myxoid proliferations occurring in the oral cavity and hence needs to be differentiated from them. Very few cases of peripheral odontogenic myxomas have been reported and, to the best of our knowledge, no case has been reported in a pediatric patient. We present an unusual case of peripheral odontogenic myxoma occurring in a 12-year-old girl located in the anterior mandibular gingiva, with an emphasis on differential diagnosis.

Ring chromosome 18: a case report.

Project description:Ring chromosomes are rare chromosomal disorders that usually appear to occur de novo. A ring chromosome forms when due to deletion both ends of chromosome fuse with each other. Depending on the amount of chromosomal deletion, the clinical manifestations may be different. So, ring 18 syndrome is characterized by severe mental growth retardation as well as microcephaly, brain and ocular malformations, hypotonia and other skeletal abnormalities. Here we report a 2.5 years old patient with a cleft lip, club foot, mental retardation and cryptorchidism. Chromosomal analysis on the basis of G-banding technique was performed following patient referral to the cytogenetic laboratory. Chromosomal investigation appeared as 46, XY, r(18) (p11.32 q21.32). According to the clinical features of such patients, chromosome investigation is strongly recommended.

SHORT syndrome in a two-year-old girl - case report.

Project description:SHORT syndrome is a rare genetic congenital defects condition. The frequency of the disease still remains unknown.We report the two-year-four-month old female with SHORT syndrome who present growth retardation and dysmorphic features (triangular-shaped face, prominent forehead, ocular depression, lipodystrophy at the lumbar region and around elbows), consistent with the phenotype described for this syndrome. The molecular analysis showed the presence of heterozygous variant c.1956dupT (p.Lys653*) in exon 15 of PIK3R1.The frequency of the disease still remains unknown; solely several dozen cases have been described worldwide.

Primary Conjunctival Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma in an 8-Year-Old Girl.

Project description:IntroductionRhabdomyosarcoma is a rare paediatric cancer, with the head and neck region representing a major anatomical site for rhabdomyosarcoma. In particular, orbital rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common region among children. However, rhabdomyosarcoma originating from the conjunctiva in paediatric population is a rare disease, and this knowledge is essential in order to ensure prompt treatment and early intervention.Case presentationWe discuss a rare case of primary conjunctival rhabdomyosarcoma in an 8-year-old Caucasian girl. She presented to a paediatric ophthalmology clinic with a 5-day history of a rapidly growing conjunctival lesion in the superior fornix of the right eye. An urgent excisional biopsy was performed which yielded a large 30-mm multilobulated, vascular, and papillomatous specimen with histopathological features consistent with embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. She was urgently referred to oncology and was treated with systemic chemotherapy.ConclusionTherapeutical options and prognosis of rhabdomyosarcomas are based on clinical findings, tumour staging, and grouping, combined with histopathological and molecular features. Although rare, it is important to note that in the paediatric population, rhabdomyosarcoma can originate from the conjunctiva. Knowledge of its clinical, histopathological, and imaging characteristics is essential in order to achieve early diagnosis and timely treatment.

Intrathyroidal ectopic thymus in 8-year-old girl: a case report.

Project description:We provide a case report of two thyroid nodules in an 8-year-old girl, which revealed malignant ultrasonographic findings and which were confirmed as ectopic thymic tissue by total thyroidectomy. The ultrasound presentations of intrathyroidal thymus glands were similar to those of the malignant thyroid nodules. In addition, in this case, there were two ectopic thymus lesions in the thyroid gland, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of diagnosis. The occurrence of multiple ectopic thymic lesions in the thyroid gland was different from previous reports. Therefore, clinicians should take into consideration this rare entity, and should not mistake it as a thyroid neoplasm; moreover, they should not perform extensive thyroid resection.

22-year-old girl with status epilepticus and progressive neurological symptoms.

Project description:A 22-year-old girl presented with convulsive status epilepticus and a previous history of recurrent seizures, myoclonus, ataxia and impaired cognitive functions. Neurological examination revealed rest and action-induced myoclonus, pyramidal signs and opposition hypertonia. Testing revealed severe metabolic acidosis, elevated transaminases and creatine kinase, and respiratory insufficiency. After intubation and ventilation, thiopental was introduced but the patient's condition worsened dramatically with death in a few hours. Autopsy showed profuse periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) positive intracellular inclusions in the CNS (Lafora bodies), most abundant in thalamus, cerebellum, and brainstem, as well as in other organs. Genetic testing revealed a homozygous missense mutation (c.205C > G, P69A) in the EPM2B (NHLRC1) gene, confirming the diagnosis of progressive myoclonic epilepsy Lafora-type.
