BACKGROUND Horner syndrome (HS), also known as Claude-Bernard-Horner syndrome or oculosympathetic palsy, comprises ipsilateral ptosis, miosis, and facial anhidrosis. CASE REPORT We report herein the case of a 67-year-old man who presented with congenital HS associated with ipsilateral hypoplasia of the internal carotid artery (ICA), as revealed by heterochromia iridis and confirmed by compute...

We report the case of a 46-year-old hypertensive Japanese female with renal insufficiency related to unilateral renal hypoplasia. The patient was found to have developed paraganglioma in the retroperitoneal space over a 5-year period. Catecholamine-producing tumors are not usually recognized as conditions associated with renal hypoplasia. Our long-term observation of the patient eventually led ...

BACKGROUND Poland's syndrome, a rare congenital anomaly, consists of unilateral absence of the pectoralis major muscle, ipsilateral brachysyndactyly, and occasionally associated other malformations of the anterior chest wall, mamilla, and mamma. CASE REPORT In the case of a 32-year-old woman, marked hypoplasia of the right breast and the right nipple, malformation of the right upper limb with...

[email protected] Phone no. +91 9501544877 Abstract Moebius and Poland syndromes are rare congenital anomalies. Poland syndrome (PS) is characterized by unilateral aplasia/hypoplasia of the breast and pectoralis muscle and ipsilateral deformities in the extremities. However, Moebius-Poland syndrome is rarer than the isolated syndromic conditions. Moebius syndrome is characterized by unilateral...

Expression of the protooncogene A-myb is restricted to the developing CNS, adult testes, breasts in late pregnancy, and germinal centers of secondary B cell follicles. The functional relevance of A-myb expression at three of these sites has been demonstrated previously via the generation and analysis of A-myb-deficient mice, which display behavioral abnormalities, male sterility, and perturbed ...

A 46-year-old woman was examined because of cellulitis of the right leg, which she said had been swollen for 30 years. This is lymphedema, a condition that results from obstruction or abnormalities in the lymphatic system (eg, hypoplasia or lymphangiectasia). It may also be caused by filariasis, which is common in the tropics. Lymphedema may be iatrogenic following irradiation or surgery for br...

Poland syndrome is a rare congenital malformation. This syndrome was described in 1841 by Alfred Poland at Guy’s Hospital in London. It is characterized by hypoplasia of the breast and nipple, subcutaneous tissue shortages, lack of the costosternal portion of the pectoralis major muscle and associated alterations of the fingers on the same side. Corrective treatment of the chest and soft tissue...

Adrenal hypoplasia is an invariable finding in infants with anencephaly. Hypoplastic adrenal glands have been described in infancy associated with congenital hypoplasia of the pituitary gland (Mosier, 1956). S;kl (1948) was probably the first author to describe congenital adrenal hypoplasia unassociated with other congenital abnormalities, though he mentions some similar cases described by earl...

In recent years the more frequent use of x-rays has revealed various congenital abnormalities of the lungs which had formerly passed undetected during life, since the clinical signs and symptoms may be minimal. An attempt is made here to elucidate the different pictures which may be seen in varying degrees of underdevelopment of the lungs. For clarity of description the following nomenclature i...
