Co-occurrence of Behcet disease with Ig A vasculitis revealed by ophtalmic examination: A case report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Renal involvment of Behçet disease is not usual and Ig A vasculitis complicated by Behçet disease is extremely rare.

Case presentation

We report a case of Henoch Scholein purpura and nephritis associated with Behçet disease revealed by ophthalmic examination.

Clinical discussion

Recurrent oral ulcer is not a manifestation of Ig A vasculitis which doesn't affect large or middle sized arteries. If the patient had'nt been referred to our department for ophthalmic examination, we may have failed to make the diagnosis and treat coexisting Behçet disease.

Conclusion

The link of HSP and BD has yet to be fully understood, and more researchisdefinitelyneeded.

Neuro-Behcet disease mimicking brain tumor: A case report.

Project description:Behçet's disease (BD) is an inflammatory multisystem disease with unknown etiology, and consists of a TRIAD comprising recurrent oral ulcers, genital ulcers, and uveitis. In some cases, the disease affects the central nervous system, called Neuro-Behçet Disease (NBD). Few cases of NBD simulating a brain tumor have been previously reported.Here, we describe the case of a 46-year-old male patient with a previous diagnosis of brain tumor who was later diagnosed for BD.This case highlights the importance of differential diagnosis of lesions with tumoral features. Checking for the possibility of NBD may help avoiding biopsy in these types of cases.

Cardiac involvement in Behcet disease presenting as non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis: A case report.

Project description:Behçet disease (BD) is a form of widespread vasculitis that involves both arteries and veins. Cardiac involvement in BD is exceedingly rare and can present as a form of non-bacterial- thrombotic-endocarditis (NBTE). A 54-year-old man with Behçet disease was admitted to our hospital after presenting with abdominal pain and fever. He had been recently discharged from a hospital in another country with the diagnosis of infective endocarditis of the mitral valve and mycotic embolization to the superior mesenteric artery. At presentation, oral and genital ulcers were present, raising the suspicion of a flare of BD. Transesophageal echocardiography showed a small vegetation on the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve. Blood cultures results were negative. Computed tomography of the abdomen showed extensive inferior vena cava thrombosis. The aneurysm and thrombotic phenomena were interpreted as related to BD: the vegetation on the mitral valve was diagnosed as NBTE of which BD is a recognized cause. With corticosteroid and anticoagulant therapy, the patient's symptoms steadily improved. NBTE is a rare manifestation of BD; differential diagnosis with infective endocarditis can be challenging and should be focused on identifying predisposing conditions. The mainstay of treatment in NBTE is medical therapy with anticoagulation and treatment of the underlying disease. <Learning objective: Cardiac involvement in the setting of Behçet Disease (BD) is rare and several different manifestations are described (intracardiac thrombus, non-infective endocarditis, myocarditis, pericarditis, endomyocardial fibrosis, coronary arteritis). Non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) is also a rare finding which can happen in the setting of BD. Its prevalence is unknown and evidence is derived only from scarce case reports.The role of BD as a potential cause of NBTE must be acknowledged to avoid potential misdiagnosis.>.

Co-Occurrence of Pheochromocytoma-Paraganglioma and Cyanotic Congenital Heart Disease: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Project description:Pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PHEO-PGL) and cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD) are both rare diseases. We reported a 30-year-old patient with a right adrenal gland nodule and a retroperitoneal mass and history of functional single atrium and ventricle. 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy showed intense uptake in both lesions. Laboratory investigation demonstrated elevated urinary norepinephrine. Preoperative ?-blockade was initiated. A successful open resection of right adrenal and retroperitoneal masses was performed. Pathological examination confirmed PHEO-PGL. Postoperative urinary norepinephrine returned to normal level. A systematic case review in English publications in PubMed and EMBASE suggested a hypothesis that there may exist a possible link between PHEO-PGL and hypoxia from CCHD, which was also indicated in our case. Due to higher risk for PHEO-PGL, a lower threshold of suspicion should be considered in CCHD patients. Therefore, active screening and early treatment of PHEO-PGL are recommended in CCHD patients and clinicians should keep on a long-term follow-up to monitor PHEO-PGL recurrence if hypoxia is not corrected.

Sudden unilateral vision loss in an adult with Behcet disease: A case report.

Project description:RATIONALE:Behcet disease is an autoimmune vasculitis, involving multiple systems and organs. It is often chronic and recurrent, and involves all levels of arteries and veins. PATIENT CONCERNS:A 40-year-old Chinese male with sudden vision loss in his right eye for 3 days was reported. DIAGNOSES:The patient was diagnosed as bilateral uveitis (obstructive retinal vasculitis in the right eye) and Behcet disease. INTERVENTIONS:The patient was given topical corticosteroids and compound tropicamide eye drops in our department. In addition, he was also hospitalized in the Rheumatology Department, and received systemic infusion of methylprednisolone and cyclophosphamide. OUTCOMES:Best corrected visual acuity vision acuity of the left eye was 20/20 and that of the right eye was no light perception after 2 weeks. During the telephonic follow-up after 1 year, the patient reported 2 recurrent episodes of uveitis in the left eye, which improved after treatment at the local hospital. LESSONS:It cautions ophthalmologists of the high possibility of vasculitis in young and middle-aged patients with retinal vascular occlusion. It also reminds the ophthalmologists investigate systemic diseases, and obtain detailed medical history, not just depending on specific laboratory findings. This case further suggests that Behcet disease has diverse manifestations, complex diagnosis, and severe lesions, and the recurrence rate must be controlled to minimize irreversible consequences such as sudden vision loss during recurrence.

Progressive coronary aneurysms in Behcet disease, a journey through surgical and percutaneous treatment: A case report.

Project description:Behçet disease is a systemic autoimmune disease that causes inflammation within the vascular tree. Coronary arteries are rarely involved with stenosis, arteritis or aneurysm formation. Treatment is mainly directed to reduce the burden of inflammation systemically with steroid and immunosuppressive medications. However, patients might present in critical conditions requiring interventions in the form of percutaneous therapy or surgical bypass grafting. We present the case of a 34-year-old male who presented with acute coronary insult and was later found to have Behçet disease. His course was aggressive, as he required bypass graft surgery for rupture coronary aneurysm and cardiac tamponade. Later on, he required percutaneous intervention with cover stents for multiple coronary aneurysms that he developed afterward despite being on medical therapy. <Learning objective: Behçet disease is a rare cause of coronary aneurysms that present with acute coronary syndrome. The underlying etiology is related to inflammatory changes within the vessels. The main stay of treatment is medical therapy that suppresses the immune system. As these aneurysms are at risk of rupture, percutaneous interventions in the form of cover stents and bypass graft surgeries have been used with variable outcomes.>.

Case Report: Co-occurrence of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and Frontometaphyseal Dysplasia 1.

Project description:Herein, we present a rare case of co-occurring Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and frontometaphyseal dysplasia 1 (FMD1), two different X-linked diseases, in a 7-year-old boy. He presented with proximal muscle weakness and elevated creatine phosphokinase levels. A multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification study of DMD revealed the de novo duplications of exons 2-37, thereby confirming the diagnosis of DMD. Initial evaluation revealed atypical features, such as facial dysmorphism, multiple joint contractures, and severe scoliosis, at an early age. However, these were overlooked and were assumed to be atypical manifestations of DMD. Then, the patient's maternal cousin was diagnosed with FMD1 with pathogenic missense variant in FLNA (NM_001110556.2: c.3557C>T/p.Ser1186Leu). A family genetic test revealed that the patient and his mother had the same pathogenic variant in FLNA. The patient's atypical manifestations were considered symptoms of FMD1. Therefore, if one disease does not fully explain the patient's clinical features, an expanded genetic study is needed to detect coincidental disease.

Ten-year progress of coronary artery lesions prior to Behcet disease diagnosis: A case report and care-compliant article.

Project description:IntroductionBehçet disease is a multisystemic chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by recurrent oral aphthous ulcers, genital ulcers, uveitis, and skin lesions. However, particularly part of patients would present cardiovascular involvements and vascular lesions could be the presenting sign of Behçet disease preceding classical symptoms. We presented a middle aged male patient, in whom abdominal aorta pseudoaneurysm was as the first leading sign to reveal Behçet disease, and with his coronary artery lesions progress through a 10-year period before Behçet disease was diagnosed.ConclusionsCoronary artery involvement of Behçet disease warrants more attention and investigation; repeated in-stent stenosis, aggressive progress, and elevated inflammation markers should be regard with more care earlier in clinical practice.

Ceftriaxone-induced leukocytoclastic vasculitis: a case report and literature review of antibiotic-induced leukocytoclastic vasculitis.

Project description:Leukocytoclastic vasculitis (hypersensitivity vasculitis) is defined as small blood vessel inflammation with skin or other systemic manifestations due to infections, drugs, or neoplastic disease. This clinical case report highlights an association between ceftriaxone and leukocytoclastic vasculitis in a 49-year-old female patient with a history of penicillin allergy, on mirtazapine for anxiety disorder. Articles concerning antibiotic-induced leukocytoclastic vasculitis are also reviewed. The patient reported a symptom of upper respiratory tract infection and fever 5 days previously for which she received ceftriaxone for 2 days before presenting to the emergency department with a pruritic skin rash in the upper and lower extremities and swollen lips for 1 day. The rash was erythematous, maculopapular, itchy, and non-tender, with no mucus membrane involvement. Laboratory investigations revealed leukocytosis (white blood cells, 22.3 × 109/L) that was mainly eosinophilic (18.4%). The patient was administered prednisolone and antihistamine after stopping ceftriaxone empirically. A skin biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of leukocytoclastic vasculitis. Significant clinical improvement was observed after treatment initiation. Upon follow-up, the skin rash was resolved entirely with no scars; however, there was skin-peeling over the lower extremities. Recognition of antibiotic-induced leukocytoclastic vasculitis is crucial as many classes of antibiotics can contribute to this condition. Continuation of the offending drug may lead to life-threatening complications.
