A case with pulmonary atresia/ventricular septal defect associated with port-wine stain and retinal vascular abnormality is reported. Clinical findings were similar to both PHACE syndrome and Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS). But, the most frequent and well-known features of both syndromes were absent. So, it could not be concluded whether this is a new constellation or an incomplete form of one of the two syndromes. In both situations, presence of a complex congenital heart disease that has not been reported previously makes this case original.
A 6-year-old boy with congenital hip dislocation, developmental delay, short stature, macrocephaly, low set ears, short neck, and hyperlaxity of the wrists and fingers is described. Radiographs disclosed mainly the presence of thoracic scoliosis, narrow interpedicular distances, metaphyseal vertical striations, very small irregular epiphyses, right hip dislocation, luxation of both elbows, and severe delay of ossification of the epiphyses and the carpal bones. These features are very close to the newly described entity: spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia and multiple dislocations. This patient brings to light the differential diagnosis and confirms the specificity of the radiological findings of this new entity.
We report on two sibs (of 4) with a syndrome of minor facial anomalies, proportionate IUGR, neonatal non-autoimmune diabetes mellitus (NDM), severe congenital hypothyroidism (CH), cholestasis, congenital glaucoma, and polycystic kidneys. Liver disease progressed to hepatic fibrosis. The renal disease was characterized by large kidneys and multiple small cysts with deficient corticomedullary junction differentiation and normal kidney function. The phenotype observed in the two sibs was identical. Although a combination of liver, kidney, and pancreatic involvement has been described in Ivemark syndrome (hepato-renal-pancreatic syndrome), the coexistence of NDM, CH, and glaucoma in both sibs suggests the possibility that this combination of manifestations describes a new autosomal recessive syndrome. Mutation analysis for several candidate genes is warranted.
