Pediatric posterior reversible leukoencephalopathy syndrome and NSAID-induced acute tubular interstitial nephritis.

Reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome is a recently described disorder with typical radiologic findings in the posterior regions of the cerebral hemisphere and cerebellum. The symptoms include headache, nausea, vomiting, visual disturbances, focal neurologic deficits, and seizures. A 10-year-old male was hit on his back, resulting in backache. He was medicated with sodium diclofenate and mefenamic acid. The next day, he had edema and oliguria. By the third day, his blood pressure increased and he began to experience restlessness and worsening mental status. He then complained of headache and visual disturbances and had a seizure. A magnetic resonance imaging scan revealed abnormalities in the posterior regions of the cerebral hemisphere and cerebellum. The patient was treated with antiepileptics and calcium antagonists. His hypertension and seizures were well controlled. On the 22nd day, he was discharged without any neurologic or renal deficits. Reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome does not occur frequently in childhood, and this is the first case report of reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome related to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. One should consider reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome as a side effect of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug use in daily medical treatment.

Interstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome presenting with bilateral optic disk edema.

PURPOSE: To report a rare presentation of the tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome. METHOD: Case report. A 34-year-old woman underwent extensive clinical and laboratory evaluation of bilateral intermediate uveitis and optic nerve edema. RESULTS: Laboratory evaluation and nephrology consultation led to a diagnosis of tubulointerstitial nephritis. The condition resolved with the use of topical and systemic corticosteroids and the discontinuation of ibuprofen. CONCLUSIONS: Tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome is uncommon. It may present with anterior or intermediate uveitis. Chronic intermediate uveitis can cause optic nerve and macular edema. A thorough medical evaluation of any patient presenting with uveitis and systemic disease is essential to the diagnosis and management of uveitis.

Diphenylhydantoin-induced hypersensitivity reaction with interstitial nephritis.

A 10-year-old black girl had an episode of diphenylhydantoin(DPH)-induced exfoliative dermatitis, lymphadenopathy, hepatitis, peripheral eosinophilia, and transient renal failure. The findings of specific lymphocyte sensitization of DPH, a clinically typical delayed hypersensitivity reaction, multinucleated histiocytes in the renal interstitium, and negative renal immunofluorescence studies for immune reactants indicate that the child's renal injury was at least partially cell-mediated.
