BACKGROUND
Heparan sulfate proteoglycans are vital components of the extracellular matrix and are essential for cellular homeostasis. Many genes are involved in modulating heparan sulfate synthesis, and when these genes are mutated, they can give rise to early-onset developmental disorders affecting
Hereditary multiple exostoses (HME) is an inherited genetic condition, characterized by the formation of multiple osteochondromas, developing throughout childhood and into puberty. Vascular complications associated with HME are uncommon.A case of a patient OBJECTIVE
To describe the role of OtoScan laser-assisted myringotomy (OtoLAM) for indications other than chronic otitis media or recurrent acute otitis media.
METHODS
Cross-sectional review.
METHODS
Twenty-seven office-based OtoLAM procedures were performed in 21 patients for "atypical" reasons. The
The proximal chromosome 11p contiguous gene deletion syndrome (P11pDS), also known as Potocki-Shaffer syndrome (PSS) or DEFECT 11 (OMIM 601224), is a disorder associated with foramina parietalia permagna and multiple osteochondroma (exostoses). Additional features include mental retardation,
To delineate further the clinical spectrum of Menkes disease, an X-linked recessive disorder of copper transport, we studied 4 related males, ranging in age from 4-38 years, with a unique phenotype that combines manifestations of classical and mild Menkes disease and occipital horn syndrome (OHS).
We reported here a case of Langer-Giedion syndrome (tricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome (TRPS) type II) associated with epilepsy. TRPS type II is an uncommon genetic disease characterized by sparse, slowly growing scalp hair, pear-shaped nose, multiple cartilagenous exostosis and mental retardation
Biallelic exostosin-2 (EXT2) pathogenic variants have been described as the cause of the Seizures-Scoliosis-Macrocephaly syndrome (OMIM 616682) characterized by intellectual disability, facial dysmorphisms and seizures. More recently, it has been proposed to rename this disorder with the acronym
This retrospective study concerns 1,373 adult patients who underwent forefoot surgery during 1988-95 under regional anaesthesia by ankle nerve blocks (of posterior tibial nerve systematically and other nerves according to the surgical site). As a rule, plain bupivacaine 0.5% (maximum 40 mL) was
Long-term observations of individuals with the so-called Langer-Giedion (LGS) or tricho-rhino-phalangeal type II (TRPS2) are scarce. We report here a on follow-up of four LGS individuals, including one first described by Andres Giedion in 1969, and review the sparse publications on adults with this
Occipital horn syndrome (OHS, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IX) belongs to the category of the copper metabolism disorders and is at present being investigated biochemically as is Menkes' disease. Unlike Menkes' disease, most patients with OHS have mild submentality. We report a case of OHS with
The authors analysed the correlation between different clinical, radiological, and pathological variables and the presence and intensity of brain oedema associated to intracranial meningioma in 400 consecutive patients studied by computerized tomography (CT). The following factors did not show
