Severe renal dysgenesis produced by a dominant gene.

A woman with the autosomal dominant syndrome of preauricular pits, cervical fistulae, and partial deafness gave birth to two children with preauricular pits and severe renal dysgenesis. The facies had some features of the Potter facies of renal agenesis. One child died soon after birth because of pneumothorax and immature development of the lungs. We suggest that all infants with renal agenesis or dysgenesis be examined for preauricular pits because of the high recurrence risk of renal anomalies in families with this syndrome.

Pemphigus vulgaris--the potential for error: a case report.

The importance of correlation, referral, and collaboration between dermatology, or any other medical department, and the oral health profession is reported through a case presentation. A case of pemphigus vulgaris diagnosed from a tongue biopsy and confirmed by immunofluorescence is reported. The patient was treated for actinic keratosis of the scalp for 16 months due to inadequate biopsy material. The diagnostic value of proper biopsy material is stressed. The clinical manifestations leading to a misdiagnosis between actinic keratosis and pemphigus vulgaris are discussed.

The temporal bone in the preauricular pit, cervical fistula, hearing loss syndrome.

Histological study of the temporal bones of an infant with the preauricular pit, cervical fistula, hearing loss syndrome revealed abnormalities in the middle ear, the vestibular system, and the cochlea. There is a gross bilateral abnormality in the form and relationship of the middle ear spaces, the middle cranial fossa and the inner ear. The horizontal canal lacks ampulla and crista; the posterior canal terminates a short distance from the ampulla. The cochlear cavity is approximately four fifths of normal size. The modiolus of the cochlea shows minor abnormalities. Spiral ganglion cells and peripheral nerve fibers are present in all coils, but are below normal in population in the basal and apical coils. The stria vascularis is slightly deformed and partly atrophic in the upper apical coil. An occasional concretion is present in the base of the stria vascularis in the middle and apical coils.

The coexistence of rheumatoid arthritis and scleroderma: a case report and review of the literature.

We describe a patient with all the features of the CREST syndrome variant of scleroderma who developed a destructive arthropathy typical of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). A pulmonary rheumatoid nodule was found confirming the presence of RA. The rarity of the coexistence of these two diseases in the same patient suggests that, despite commonly found overlapping features, these illnesses are distinct entities.
