A new case of semicircular lipoatrophy associated with repeated external microtraumas and review of the literature.

We present a new case of semicircular lipoatrophy whose lesions disappeared after 2 months of avoiding a repeated trauma in that area. It seems that this is the only associated aetiological factor, and this entity is perhaps a consequence of certain postural habits. The repeated microtraumas would damage the fatty tissue giving rise to the histopathological findings described, which are compatible with traumatic panniculitis. In conclusion, repeated microtraumas may be the aetiological factor in these cutaneous lesions. Other data in favour of this hypothesis are the disappearance of the lesions after avoiding the mechanical trauma, the fact that there were other affected people at work, and that this factor has also been identified in the majority of cases reported previously.

[Neurocutaneous syndrome with hair alterations].

There are multiple neurocutaneous syndromes that may show hair alterations such as the interglabellar peak or 'widow's peak', which is an alteration of the hair implantation, in addition to the genohypotrichosis, hypertrichosis and hair shaft dysplasias. In this chapter we will focus on the latter. Out of the unspecific hair shaft dysplasias the only ones showing neurological alterations are trichorrhexis invaginata, observed in the syndrome of Netherton. Among the specific dysplasias we would like to point out monilethrix, and very especially the moniliform hair syndrome, the trichorrhexis nodosa, the pili torti and trichotiodystrophy. The latter is actually a group of syndromes which associates a series of diverse symptoms that have in common hair brittleness, fertility problems and physical and mental retardation, and they constitute the basic syndrome know as 'BIDS syndrome.

International dermatosurgery: reconstructive treatment of the vulva--a new procedure: experience on 23 cases over 4 years.

The postvulvectomy reconstruction caused the authors diverse problems in the first three operations. The use of a bipedicle advancement flap obtained from the anterointernal region of the thigh, modified depending on the extension of the vulvectomy and the elasticity of the skin allow us to suggest the use of this technique due to its safeness, the facility with which it is carried out, and reduction of the hospital stay, as this makes the method socially economical.

Atrophy↗

[Behçet's syndrome. Apropos of 12 cases].

Twelve observations of Behcet's syndrome are described, which comply with the diagnostic criteria of O'DUFFY. The clinic symptomatology is reviewed and compared with those found by other authors.

Adolescent↗

[Bullous pemphigoid in a 5-month-old infant].

After observing a case of pemphigoid in a 5-month-old infant, verified inmunologically, we comment on the clinical, histological, biochemical and immunological tests and review the benign chronic bullous dermatosis of the childhood.

Esophagitis, Peptic↗

[Incontinentia pigmenti. Study of 7 cases, 2 in men (author's transl)].

We describe 7 observations of incontinentia pigmenti (0.0026 p. 100 of the patients visited in the Department of Medical-Surgical Dermatology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Granada). Two cases with congenital pigmentation and one of these with secondary inflammatory lesions. The electron microscopy shows relation between the classic stages of the process. In two patients there were defects of the Central Nervous System: brain paralysis and microcephaly. Only two patients with blood eosinophilia (13 p. 100-21 p. 100). Evolution benign, except in the case with brain paralysis. There were familiar antecedents in three women and these were not found in two women and two men with normal karyotype. It suggests a mutation. This study has shown a high rate men/women: 2/5; in comparison to other series. We think that it is possible for a mutation and that this disease is more frequent than it seems. It is necessary to think in this disease in all pigmentary abnormalities in children.
