Nonimmune hydrops remains a challenge in the prenatal setting with many cases not having a clear etiology determined prior to birth. We present an unusual case of one fetus of a dichorionic twin pair presenting at 24 weeks' gestation with hydrops and fetal pancytopenia with complete absence of white
A patient with gamma heavy chain disease (Franklin's disease) was discovered during evaluation for pancytopenia and splenomegaly. Lymphadenopathy, palatal edema, and infiltration of the bone marrow palatal edema, and infiltration of the bone marrow with abnormal cells were all absent. Serum and
Before the 20th week of gestation, the most common cause of nonimmune hydrops fetalis is chromosomal abnormalities. Herein, we report a case of fetal hydrops, anemia, and intrauterine growth retardation that presented at 27 weeks of gestation with a negative chromosomal abnormality screening.
A 46-year-old woman with edema and pancytopenia was referred for further evaluation. She was diagnosed as tuberous sclerosis with clinical manifestations such as facial adenoma sebaceous, ungual and periungual fibroma, subependymal nodules and renal angiomyolipoma. Her edema seemed due to
We report a 49-year-old man with primary hyperthyroidism who presented with pancytopenia. The patient presented with leg edema, sinus tachycardia, cardiomegaly, and pleural effusions, all from congestive heart failure. Laboratory data showed pancytopenia and primary hyperthyroidism; echocardiogram
BACKGROUND
Pancytopenia secondary to hepatitis viral infection is a rare but noted clinical entity. An acute aplastic crisis usually occurs shortly after viral infection, however, viral serologies are usually negative and the pancytopenia is often fatal if left untreated.
METHODS
A 66-year-old woman
BACKGROUND
In 30 p. 100 of Kikuchi's disease (or necrotizing histiocytic lymphadenitis), polymorphous and non specific cutaneous manifestations are present. We report herein an original case of Kikuchi's disease in which eyelid edema was the first sign.
METHODS
An 18-year-old girl was referred to
Pioglitazone is used to improve insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetes. This group of drugs is usually well tolerated; however, their use may be associated with several adverse effects including edema, weight gain, macular edema and heart failure. Herein we report a patient who developed
Central nervous system symptoms occur in a substantial portion of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. However, coma is a rare presentation and is usually secondary to complications such as subarachnoid hemorrhage, seizure, or ischemia. Here, we present a 49-year-old woman with lupus
Adenoviruses are a common cause of respiratory infection, pharyngitis, and conjunctivitis in infants and young children. They are known to cause hepatitis and liver failure in immunocompromised patients; they are a rare cause of hepatitis in immunocompetent patients and have been known to cause
UNASSIGNED
Multiple myeloma is caused by abnormal proliferation of plasma cells that affects more commonly African Americans. It classically presents with hypercalcemia, renal failure, anemia, and lytic bone lesions. The aim of this article is to present an unusual case of a 63-year-old
We report a fetus with an unusual combination of features including bilateral renal agenesis, hydrops, cardiac hypertrophy and pancytopenia. There was haematological evidence of apoptosis with nuclear degeneration of megakaryocytes. The combination of structural anomalies associated with
BACKGROUND
Congenital pancytopenia is a rare and often lethal condition. Current knowledge of lymphoid and hematopoietic development in mice, as well as understanding regulators of human hematopoiesis, have led to the recent discovery of genetic causes of bone marrow failure disorders. However, in
