Red cell aplasia in children is a condition characterised by failure of erythropoiesis, with normal production of white blood cells and platelets. The disorder is either acquired or constitutional (congenital or inherited). The constitutional disorder is usually permanent, while the acquired variety is often transient, and thereby differs from adult pure red cell aplasia. As the treatment and p...

A 32 week, small for dates baby with aplasia cutis congenita had an unbalanced translocation, being monosomic for distal 12q and trisomic for distal 1q. As far as is known, the association between extensive skin defects and a chromosomal abnormality has not been reported before. Keratin genes have been located in a different area of 12q, but this case may indicate other candidate areas to explo...

Anomaly in the development of body stem is a serious congenital developmental defect and characterized by significant anterior abdominal wall with pronounced changes rachis hypoplasia or aplasia umbilical cord. The paper describes cases anomalies fetuses, diagnosis which was carried out during early prenatal ultrasound at stage postmortem autopsy aborted material.

In the female, Müllerian ducts will develop to form the uterine tubes, uterus, cervix, and the upper one-third of the vagina; in the male, they are lost. This abnormal development can lead to uterine malformations resulting from aplasia of a part of Müllerian duct. Morphological abnormalities can vary from insufficient fission of tissues causing bicornuate uterus, double uterus or preserved ute...

Aplasia of the major salivary glands are very rare, and commonly occurs at the parotid gland. Patients are usually asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally. But dry mouth, difficulty in swallowing, dental problems may be seen. Also mass complaints may occur due to compensatory hypertrophy of the other major salivary glands. Herein, we presented the magnetic resonance imaging findings of a very r...

Anaemia is a common problem in end stage kidney disease. Recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) is commonly used in management of such patients to maintain optimal hemoglobin levels and to minimise transfusion requirements. Acquired pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) is a rare complication of erythropoietin therapy due to development of anti-erythropoietin antibodies (anti-EPOabs). We report a pat...

Aplasia cutis congenita is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the absence of a patch of skin since birth. It may lead to life threatening complications at times. A 5-day-old neonate with Aplasia cutis congenita was received in a state of shock due to tremendous blood loss from the superior sagittal sinus. The neonate was resuscitated immediately followed by closure of the superior sagit...

Aplasia of condyle is very rare, when this condition not seen as a part of a syndrome. We report a case of condylar aplasia on the right side and hypoplasia on the left side in a 21-year-old female. The patient reported to the department with a chief complaint of underdeveloped lower jaw. Clinical examination, conventional radiographs, and 3D CBCT images revealed complete absence of condyle on ...

Acquired pure red-cell aplasia is a rare disorder that can be either idiopathic or associated with certain autoimmune diseases, pregnancy, lymphoproliferative disorders, nutritional deficiencies, or medicines. We present a deceased-donor renal transplant patient who developed pure red-cell aplasia associated with mycophenolate mofetil or tacrolimus and was treated with cyclosporine. A 20-year-o...
