    Eccrine angiomatous hamartoma is a rare hamartomatous lesion characterized by proliferation of eccrine glands and small blood vessels, and occasionally other elements. It generally arises congenitally or later in childhood, as solitary or multiple lesions on the distal extremities. Adult-onset multiple lesions are very rare. Herein we describe a 33-year-old male with symptomatic multiple eccrine angiomatous hamartoma lesions.PubMe

    Lumbar Swelling as the Unusual Presentation of Henoch-Schonlein Purpura in a Child

    No full text
    Background: Henoch-Schönlein Purpura (HSP) is a systemic hypersensitivity disease of unknown cause that is characterized by a purpuric rash and systemic manifestations, such as colicky abdominal pain, polyarthralgia, and acute glomerulonephritis. Common complications of HSP that lead to surgical intervention include intussusception, perforation, necrosis, and massive gastrointestinal bleeding. Unusual clinical manifestations of HSP may include edema of the scrotum and eyes. Lumbar swelling is rarely seen as a complication of HSP. Case Report: A four-year-old boy was admitted to our emergency room with a 7 day history of increasing abdominal pain. Within 48 hours of admission, erythematous macules and palpable purpuric lesions developed on the lower extremities. On the third day of hospitalization, sudden onset of severe back pain, swelling on the lumbar region and refusal to walk were seen. On the fifth day, lumbosacral edema and pain resolved but facial edema developed. He was diagnosed clinically with HSP. Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, only a few cases of HSP with lumbar edema have been reported so far. If the first clinical symptoms of HSP are atypical, clinical progress can be atypical, too

    Headache as the sole presenting symptom of cerebral venous sinuses thrombosis: Subgroup analysis of data from the VENOST study

    Objectives: Headache is the most common complaint in cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) and it may sometimes bethe only symptom in these patients. This retrospective and prospective study was an investigation of any differences in termsof clinical risk factors, radiological findings, or prognosis in patients with CVST who presented with isolated headache (IH) andcases with other concomitant findings (non-isolated headache [NIH]).Methods: A total of 1144 patients from a multicenter study of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (VENOST study) were enrolled inthis research. The demographic, biochemical, clinical, and radiological aspects of 287 IH cases and 857 NIH cases were compared.Results: There were twice as many women as men in the study group. In the IH group, when gender distribution was evaluated byage group, no statistically significant difference was found. The onset of headache was frequently subacute and chronic in the IHgroup, but an acute onset was more common in the NIH group. Other neurological findings were observed in 29% of the IH groupduring follow-up. A previous history of deep, cerebral, or other venous thromboembolism was less common in the IH group thanin the NIH group. Transverse sinus involvement was greater in the IH group, whereas sagittal sinus involvement was greater in theNIH group. The presence of a plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) mutation was significantly greater in the IH group.Conclusion: IH and CVST should be kept in mind if a patient has subacute or chronic headache. PAI, which has an importantrole in thrombolytic events, may be a risk factor in CVST. Detailed hematological investigations should be considered. Additional studies are needed.Amaç: Baş ağrısı serebral venöz sinüs trombozunda (SVST) en sık görülen şikayettir ve bazen CVST ile başvuran hastalarda görülen tek semptom olabilir. Bu retrospektif ve prospektif çalışmada, izole başağrısı (IB) ile başvuran SVST olgularında ve baş ağrısı ile ilişkili diğer bulguları olan (izole olmayan başağrısı-İOBA) olgularda klinik risk faktörleri, radyoloji ve prognoz açısından herhangi bir farklılık olup olmadığını araştırdık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Serebral venöz sinüs trombozu (VENOST) çok merkezli çalışmasından 1144 hasta çalışmamıza alındı. Tüm demografik, biyokimyasal, klinik ve radyolojik yönler 287 IBA vakası ve 857 İOBA vakası için karşılaştırılmıştır. Bulgular: Toplam grup içinde kadın oranı iki kat daha yüksekti. İBA grubunda cinsiyet dağılımını yaş gruplarına göre değerlendirildiğinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmadı. İBA grubunda, baş ağrısının başlangıcı sıklıkla subakut ve kronikti, ancak akut başlangıç, İOBA grubunda daha yaygındı. İBA grubunda% 29’luk takip sırasında diğer nörolojik bulgular eklenmiştir. Daha önce serebral, derin ve diğer venöz tromboembolizm öyküsü İBA grubunda İOBA grubuna göre daha azdı. Transvers sinüs tutulumu İBA grubunda daha yüksek iken sagital sinüs tutulumu İOBA grubunda daha fazlaydı. Plazminojen aktivatör inhibitörü (PAI) mutasyonu IBA grubunda anlamlı olarak daha yüksekti. Sonuç: Hastaların subakut veya kronik baş ağrısı varsa SVST tanısı için IBA akılda tutulmalıdır. Trombolitik olaylar için önemli bir role sahip olan PAI, SVST’da bir risk faktörü olabilir, bu nedenle ayrıntılı hematolojik araştırmalar düşünülmelidir.

    A Case Report With A Rare 8p Duplication

    Duplications can occur by unequal crossing over or by abnormalsegregation in meiosis in a translocation or an inversioncarrier. In general duplications appear to be much less harmfulthan deletions. A 7-year-old patient who was born to nonconsanguinesparents; was referred to us from pediatric neurologyunit due to developmental delay and dysmorphism. Thepregnancy was complicated with gestational diabetes and polyhydramniosis.The physical examination revealed no growthdelay but hypertonicity on lower extremities and dysmorphism.The X-ray’s showed spina bifida. The congenitalabsence of gallbladder was detected by ultrasound. TheGiemsa stained karyotyping by high resolution banding techniqueand also FISH analysis showed 46,XY,der(8)ishdup(8)(p21-?)(wcp8+) chromosome constitution de novo. Inthis report we discussed the similarity and differences of thephenotypes between the present and previously reportedpatients with dup (8)
