We report a case of epidermal nevus syndrome involving the brain in which there is chronic occlusion of the left distal internal carotid artery resulting in ipsilateral atrophy. Orbital and cerebellopontine angle cistern lipomas and a wide cortical developmental malformation are associated with the condition. We present MR imaging findings of a patient and discuss features in the context of oth...

A 37-year-old South-Asian male presented to our clinic with a crusty, verrucous-like, scaly plaque of the left ala of the nose. After ruling out infectious and other epidermal bullous diseases, we finalized a diagnosis of localized pemphigus foliaceus, an exceptionally rare disorder with only 15 cases reported in the literature to date. The hyperkeratotic lesions responded favorably to a 3-week...

Congenital hemidysplasia with ichthyosiform nevus and limb defects (CHILD) syndrome is a rare X-linked hereditary disorder. Presentation varies from ichthyosiform nevus to complete limb amelia. We present a 17-year-old adolescent girl who presented with a 16-cm exophytic mass of the right foot that had been growing for 7 years as well as knee contracture. Deformed nails with onychorrhexis were ...

We report the case of a 33-year-old woman who presented with skin manifestations that resulted in a differential diagnosis of either an epidermal nevus or a localized form of Darier's disease. We discuss the arguments for and against each possibility. The available data on localized forms of Darier's disease are also discussed.

BACKGROUND A 32-year-old, male chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) kept in a zoo developed a focally extensive, proliferative, cerebriform, dermal mass at the left inner thigh extending to the inguinal region. After surgical removal, the mass recurred and extended progressively over a period of 5 years. METHODS AND RESULTS At necropsy, a 20 x 20 cm large, well defined, papular and partly verrucous, ...

9.6 mg/dL, serum phosphate: 1.8mg/dL; alkaline phosphatase: 982 U/L. Acid load test was negative. TMP/GFR: 0.5, Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed interdigitation of gyri in the right frontal lobe. X-ray showed changes of rickets. Biopsy of the skin lesion was suggestive of epidermal nevus. He was started on phosphate mixture Sanklecha M, Singhal S, et al. Hereditory spherocytosis: ...

conservatively in neonatal intensive care unit. Abdominal distension decreased gradually. He passed stools on day 5 of admission. Repeat X-ray abdomen showed no air fluid levels. He was started on feeds gradually and discharged on day 18 of life. His serial USG abdomen showed gradual decrease in right adrenal hematoma with complete resolution by six weeks of age with no calcifications and norma...
