Primary renal mucormycosis in a type 2 diabetic patient: A case report from Syria.

Mucormycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection that primarily affects immunocompromised individuals and rarely presents as renal mucormycosis (RM). Diagnosis can be challenging for many physicians. We report a rare case of primary, unilateral RM which triggered diabetic ketoacidosis in a type 2 diabetic patient.

Cerebral, ocular, dental, auricular, skeletal anomalies (CODAS) syndrome: First case reported in Saudi Arabia.

CODAS syndrome (cerebral, ocular, dental, auricular, skeletal anomalies) is a rare autosomal recessive inherited multisystemic disease that carries an incidence rate of less than 1 in 1,000,000 children worldwide. It has an infancy, neonatal age of onset, characterized by deformities of the central nervous system, eyes, ears, teeth, and skeleton. A 1-year-old female of non-consanguineous parents, first time presented to our pediatrics clinic on November 6, 2021 when she was 4 months of age with developmental delay, as the patient could not support her head and made no eye contact on examination.

Combined Methylprednisolone Pulse Therapy plus Rituximab for Treating a Rare Juvenile Steroid-Resistant Nephrotic Syndrome with Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis: A Case Report.

: Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) secondary to nephrotic syndrome (NS) is rarely reported. Additionally, treating steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS) that changes to steroid resistance (SRNS) is difficult, with many relapses and side effects. : A 32-month-old SSNS male child turned into SRNS and developed cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), a rare complication of NS.

Heterozygous Mutation of Sodium Voltage-Gated Channel Alpha Subunit 2 and Pumilio Homolog 1 Genes in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report.

Epilepsy is a neurological condition brought on by recurrent and spontaneous seizures in patients with hypersynchronous neuronal ensemble activity. These spontaneous seizures appear to be brought on by increased neuronal excitability and synaptic synchronization. The development of neuronal hyperexcitability and acquiring epilepsy is still poorly understood.

Co-occurrence of Glycogen Storage Disease Type 2 and Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome Type 5 in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report.

Glycogen storage disease type 2 (also known as Pompe disease) is a metabolic disorder characterized by an accumulation of glycogen within lysosomes. Pathophysiologically, this condition is caused by an autosomal recessive deficiency of the lysosomal acid alpha-glucosidase enzyme, resulting in defects in lysosomal metabolism. Glycogen accumulation causes advanced muscle weakness (myopathy) throughout the body, including the heart, skeletal muscles, liver, and the neurological system.

Retroperitoneal Lipoma: An Unusual Etiology of Urge Incontinence.

Urge incontinence is the most frequent type of urinary incontinence that can be due to bladder outlet obstruction or overactive bladder. A focused history is crucial to identify the type of urinary incontinence and the possible etiology. We report the case of a 67-year-old man with urinary frequency, urgency, and nocturia.
