Protein kinase adenosine monophosphate-activated non-catalytic subunit gamma 2 (PRKAG2) cardiac syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and heart rhythm disturbances caused by mutations in the gene. Reports on PRKAG2 cardiac syndrome associated with refractory chylous effusion are extremely limited. Here, we present a neonatal case involving severe hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy accompanied by chylous ascites and lymphatic malformations.

We report on the case of a 10-year-old girl with straight back syndrome (SBS) and funnel chest in which a right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction was demonstrated by dynamic echocardiography. The patient occasionally experienced chest discomfort in the standing and sitting positions.

- Anastomosing hemangioma (AH) is a rare type of capillary hemangioma, often found in the genitourinary tract, and can be challenging to diagnose without tissue samples.
- A 67-year-old woman with an asymptomatic retroperitoneal tumor, initially believed to be benign, underwent imaging that showed growth over 4 years, ultimately leading to surgical removal.
- The tumor was pathologically confirmed as AH, which is very rare, representing only 1-3% of retroperitoneal tumors, and highlights the need for considering it in the diagnosis of heterogeneous masses in the para-aortic region.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the relationship between cerebrospinal fluid orexin-A (CSF-OX) levels and conditions like cataplexy and diencephalic syndrome in NMOSD patients, finding significant correlations with hypersomnia and MRI findings.
- - Researchers analyzed data from 50 patients with hypersomnia and 68 controls, discovering that those with hypersomnia were more likely to have NMOSD and related conditions, along with lower CSF-OX levels.
- - Key risk factors for low-to-intermediate CSF-OX levels included hypersomnolence and a high MRI hypothalamus-to-caudate-nucleus intensity ratio, which was associated with a higher occurrence of diencephalic syndrome.
