Sclerochoroidal calcification associated with Gitelman syndrome and calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sclerochoroidal calcification is an uncommon condition. Metabolic evaluation and clinical examination are important to exclude associated systemic conditions such as the Bartter and Gitelman syndromes. It has been suggested that the lesions seen in sclerochoroidal calcification are calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals. This report describes the first documented case in the UK of sclerochoroidal calcification associated with Gitelman syndrome and calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition.

Carpal tunnel syndrome induced by two types of calcium deposition.
Two rare cases of carpal tunnel syndrome caused by calcification in the carpal tunnel are reported. One case involved a tumorous calcification consisting of basic calcium phosphate, and the other involved a diffuse calcification consisting of a mixture of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate and basic calcium phosphate. These cases suggest that the shape of carpal tunnel calcifications is influenced...

متن کاملSoft tissues
The deposition of amorphous calcium salts within the soft tissues is variously called mineralization or calcification. Two forms of calcium salts may be found in the soft tissues: calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate and calcium hydroxyapatite. If bony trabeculae are discernible within the mineralized focus the term ossification is used, sometimes prefixed with the terms ectopic or heterotopic. Ther...
متن کاملRole of the progressive ankylosis gene in cartilage mineralization.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Among the myriad of players in the calcification of cartilage, ANK is a relatively new entrant. It is a multipass transmembrane protein that regulates the transport of inorganic pyrophosphate between the cell and the extracellular space. Mutations in ANK result in two distinct calcification disorders: craniometaphyseal dysplasia and familial calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate dep...
متن کاملInorganic pyrophosphate (PPI) in pathologic calcification of articular cartilage.
Physiologic levels of extracellular PPi, which suppresses hydroxyapatite crystal growth, must be maintained by articular chondrocytes and resident cells in many othee tissues in order to prevent pathologic calcification. However, extracellular PPi rises in articular cartilage in direct association with aging. Matrix supersaturation with PPi stimulates chondrocalcinosis manifesting as calcium py...
