Unusual presentation of CF in an infant.

ABSTRACT: This case report attempts an approach to the clinical findings of hepatobiliary manifestations in Cystic Fibrosis. Infant less than 1-month-old with an insidious clinical picture that debut with hepatobiliary manifestations and jaundice, upper respiratory infection and gastrointestinal sepsis non-specific. Cystic Fibrosis is the most frequent autosomal recessive clinical condition in Caucasians. It is associated with liver involvement around 30%. In children, hepatobiliary symptoms occur at puberty when damage to the liver system is in advanced stages. The atypical presentation of Cystic Fibrosis with liver involvement is very rare and lethal. Understanding the different form of Cystic Fibrosis, it is essential for early diagnosis and to achieve integral management.

Unusual presentation of Lynch Syndrome.

Project description:Lynch Syndrome/HNPCC is a syndrome of cancer predisposition linked to inherited mutations of genes participating in post-replicative DNA mismatch repair (MMR). The spectrum of cancer associated with Lynch Syndrome includes tumours of the colorectum, endometrium, ovary, upper gastrointestinal tract and the urothelium although other cancers are rarely described. We describe a family of Lynch Syndrome with an hMLH1 mutation, that harbours an unusual tumour spectrum and its diagnostic and management challenges.

Unusual presentation of Henoch-Schonlein purpura.

Project description:We present a rare case of a 4-year-old boy with newly diagnosed Henöch-Schonlein purpura (HSP) affecting the scrotum and penis. The patient presented to the emergency department with palpable purpura symmetrically distributed over the lower limbs. This was associated with arthritis of the right knee, abdominal pain and scrotal swelling. These symptoms were preceded by an upper respiratory tract infection (URTI). The patient was initially treated with empirical oral antibiotics for epididymitis and was discharged. He subsequently re-presented 12 days later with penile swelling, erythema and tenderness. An ultrasound scan of the penis revealed grossly oedematous subcutaneous tissue with normal penile architecture. His symptoms resolved spontaneously and the patient remains under close follow-up by the paediatric team for further sequelae of HSP.

Unusual presentation of pancreatitis with extrapancreatic manifestations.

Project description:Pancreatitis, panniculitis and polyarthritis syndrome (PPP syndrome) is a rare and complex manifestation of pancreatitis that is currently reported in few cases. We present this case regarding a 77-year-old man who presented unusually with a 6-week history of bilateral lesions on his lower limbs. During this time, he experienced increasing fatigue, joint pain, and reported fevers and significant weight loss. An incidental serum amylase was found to be significantly elevated and remained elevated throughout his 2-month hospital stay. He never complained of abdominal pain or other typical symptoms of pancreatitis. Histological examination of the leg lesions reported evidence of fat necrosis and changes consistent with pancreatic panniculitis. An abdominal CT scan revealed a well-defined lesion posterior to the neck of the pancreas. Further examination by endoscopic ultrasound revealed chronic inflammatory changes. The patient experienced a long admission and was managed supportively until he was well enough to be discharged home.

Tetraparesia: an unusual presentation of disseminated tuberculosis.

Project description:A 48-year-old man with a 4?months history of asthenia, anorexia, 10?kg weight loss and 1?month of hematuria and dysuria was admitted to another hospital for sudden muscular weakness. He was found to have areflexic tetraparesis and was referred to our hospital.On admission, he was bradycardic, tachypneic, with flaccid tetraplegia. Laboratory results showed metabolic acidemia, severe hyperkalemia and hyponatremia, acute renal dysfunction and sterile pyuria. After hyperkalemia correction, the neurological symptoms resolved.On the second day, he became febrile and chest radiograph and CT images showed a pulmonary bilateral reticulomicronodular pattern, left hydronephrosis and diffuse bladder wall thickening. Disseminated tuberculosis was considered as diagnosis by the coexistence of this imagiologic alterations and sterile pyuria. Acid-fast test for Mycobacteriumtuberculosis was negative, but the urine culture became positive after 2 weeks.Antituberculosis treatment was started. One year later, he was asymptomatic and the structural urinary lesions had disappeared.

Unusual presentation of a distal cholangiocarcinoma.

Project description:We report a case of a 51-year-old male presented with abdominal pain and itching, whereas jaundice occurred afterwards. Diagnosis was made by means of CT and better assessed by MRI and endoscopic ultrasounds. Patient was treated with an open Whipple's procedure, and after an 18-month follow-up he was doing well.

Stabbed Through The Heart: An Unusual VSD Presentation.

Project description:Traumatic ventricular septal defects due to penetrating cardiac injury are uncommon. Transthoracic echocardiography is an essential tool in diagnosis. Options for closure include either surgical or percutaneous repair. We present a case of a trauma-related ventricular septal defect in a young patient that was successfully repaired by using a percutaneous approach. (Level of difficulty: Intermediate.).

Unusual presentation of propionic acidaemia as isolated cardiomyopathy.

Project description:Propionic acidaemia (PA) is an autosomal recessive disease that results from deficiency of propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC). In the majority of reported cases, the phenotype includes metabolic acidosis and/or neurological deficits. We report on a 14-year-old Asian-American male with PA who presented with isolated cardiomyopathy without any documented episodes of metabolic acidosis or evidence of any neurocognitive deficits. On routine metabolic screening, the patient was found to have urine organic acids suggestive of PA. Biochemical and genetic characterization confirmed a PCC deficiency with two novel mutations in PCCB: IVS7 + 2 T > G (c.763 + 2 T > G) and p.R410Q (c.1229 G > A). Residual enzyme activity likely explains our patient's mild phenotype. Splicing mutations tend to result in a milder phenotype as these mutations may still produce small amounts of normal enzyme. In addition, the similar p.R410W mutation has been shown to have partial residual activity. Moreover, this case illustrates that a thorough metabolic evaluation should be performed in both paediatric and adult patients with cardiomyopathy. Such an evaluation has important implications for clinical management and genetic counselling.

Cirrhosis: an unusual presentation of sickle cell disease.

Project description:Hepatobiliary complications of sickle cell disease are relatively rare but well recognised in literature. Clinical syndromes range from mild intrahepatic cholestasis and gallstones to life threatening sequestration crisis. Most patients, homozygous for sickle cell anaemia, present before adolescence. We report a case of an adult man with no prior symptoms who presented for the first time with decompensated cirrhosis, which was found to be due to underlying previously unrecognised sickle cell anaemia.

Unusual Clinical Presentation of Autosomal Recessive Woolly Hair.

Project description:Autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis (ARWH/H) is a rare nonsyndromic hair abnormality characterized by sparse, short, and curly hair. we report a case of a 5-year-old girl from consanguineous parents, who presented with ARWH/H since birth. Dermoscopic findings showed thin sparse hair. Genetic testing showed homozygous mutation in the LPAR6 gene.
