Milk-sensitive eosinophilic gastroenteritis in a 2-month-old boy.

ABSTRACT: Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a rare disease of unknown aetiology, characterised by eosinophilic infiltration of the gastrointestinal wall with various gastrointestinal manifestations. Clinical presentation and radiological findings are non-specific and there is an overlap with more frequent childhood diseases requiring a high degree of clinical suspicion for accurate diagnosis. We describe a 2-month-old boy with prolonged diarrhoea, vomiting and food refusal. Diagnosis was settled by histology. The treatment with elemental diet was successful, with clinical resolution and catch-up growth.

Wilson disease with hepatic presentation in an eight-month-old boy.

Project description:Wilson disease is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper metabolism that can cause fatal neurological and hepatic disease if not diagnosed and treated. The youngest child with normal liver function reported so far is an 8-mo-old Japanese boy with low ceruloplasmin levels, and the youngest child with elevated aminotransferase ever reported so far is a 9-mo-old Korean boy with confirmed by genetic testing. Here we report an 8-mo-old Chinese boy presented with elevated liver enzymes, and low serum ceruloplasmin level. Genetic analysis of ATP7B gene detected two heterozygous disease causing mutations (c.2621C>T/p.A874V and c.3809A>G/p.N1270S), and parental origins were determined. Persistent elevation of serum aminotransferase in this infant was normalized after zinc therapy. To our best knowledge, this is the youngest patient with elevated liver enzymes ever reported worldwide. We hope that this will raise awareness among pediatricians, leading to earlier diagnosis, timely treatment, and better clinical outcome.

Ophthalmologic findings in an 18-month-old boy with focal dermal hypoplasia.

Project description:Focal dermal hypoplasia is a rare X-linked dominant disorder with in utero lethality in males. Affected patients have been reported to have several different mutations in the PORCN gene on chromosome Xp11.23. Dysplastic mesodermal and ectodermal tissue causes clinical findings in the skin, skeleton, teeth, central nervous system, and eyes of affected patients. We describe the ophthalmologic findings in an 18-month-old boy with mosaicism of a novel mutation in PORCN.

A non-hemispheric transtentorial ZFTA-fusion-positive ependymoma in a 6-month-old boy

Project description:We report an infantile case of midline ‘supratentorial ependymoma ZFTA fusion-positive’ involving both the infra- and the supra-tentorial compartments (i.e., cerebellar vermis, pons and midbrain). The radiological features, i.e., the upward displacement and compression of the supratentorial anatomical structures and the infiltrative margins of the tumour towards the cerebellar vermis, suggested an infratentorial origin of the lesion with secondary involvement of the supratentorial compartment. This case adds to the limited literature of non-hemispheric ‘supratentorial ependymoma ZFTA fusion-positive’ occurring in midline structures, both supratentorial (pineal region, thalamus) and infratentorial (cervico-medullary region and spinal cord), and in the cerebellum. These cases highlight the need to consider this entity in the differential diagnosis of paediatric non-hemispheric lesions and raise the question of whether the inclusion of the location within the WHO definition of this tumour type may be too restrictive

Acral peeling skin syndrome resembling epidermolysis bullosa simplex in a 10-month-old boy.

Project description:The acral peeling skin syndrome (APSS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder clinically characterized by asymptomatic desquamation of the skin limited to the hands and feet and histologically by cleavage at the stratum granulosum and stratum corneum level [Kiritsi et al.: J Invest Dermatol 2010;130:1741-1746]. We report on a 10-month-old boy with a history of skin peeling limited to the hands and feet since 2 months of age. Clinical examination revealed erythematous erosions with peripheral desquamation and flaccid blisters. DNA mutation analysis detected two heterozygous TGM5 mutations: c.2T>C, p.M1T in exon 1 and c.337G>T, p.G113C in exon 3 in keeping with the diagnosis of APSS. The clinical presentation of APSS alone might be confusing and strongly resemble epidermolysis bullosa simplex making the differential diagnosis difficult.

[Unusual facies with delayed development and multiple malformations in a 14-month-old boy].

Project description:Schinzel-Giedion syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disease and has the clinical features of severe delayed development, unusual facies, and multiple congenital malformations. In this case report, a 14-month-old boy had the clinical manifestations of delayed development, unusual facies (prominent forehead, midface retraction, hypertelorism, low-set ears, upturned nose, and micrognathia), and multiple congenital malformations (including cerebral dysplasia, dislocation of the hip joint, and cryptorchidism). The karyotype analysis and copy number variations showed no abnormalities, and whole exon sequencing showed a de novo heterozygous missense mutation, c.2602G > A (p. D868N), in SETBP1 gene. Therefore, the boy was diagnosed with Schinzel-Giedion syndrome. Myoclonic seizures in this boy were well controlled by sodium valproate treatment, and his language development was also improved after rehabilitation treatment. Clinical physicians should improve their ability to recognize such rare diseases, and Schinzel-Giedion syndrome should be considered for children with unusual facies, delayed development, and multiple malformations. Gene detection may help with the diagnosis of this disease.

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis: Pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment.

Project description:AbstractEosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE) is a gastrointestinal disorder of unclear etiology that is characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the stomach and small intestine, and consists of mucosal, muscular, and serosal subtypes. Eosinophilic infiltration of the gastrointestinal tract is a fundamental histopathological characteristic of EGE and is driven by several T-helper type 2 (Th2)-dependent cytokines and induced by food allergy. Due to the lack of a diagnostic gold standard, EGE has a high rate of delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis. However, several new diagnostic strategies have been developed, such as novel genetic biomarkers and imaging tests. Although dietary therapy and corticosteroids remain the common choices for EGE treatment, recent decades have seen the emergence of novel treatment alternatives, such as biologics that target particular molecules involved in the pathogenic process. Preliminary investigations and clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of biologics and provided additional insights for the era of refractory or corticosteroid-dependent EGE biologics.
