Incidence and Severity of Compensatory Hyperhidrosis Following Bilateral Sympathectomy.

Background: Primary hyperhidrosis is a condition caused by an excessive stimulation of sweat glands, leading to a decline in both quality of life and social wellbeing. Thoracic sympathectomy surgery provides a relief of the initial symptoms but poses a risk for developing compensatory hyperhidrosis (CH) in various degrees.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the occurrence and characteristics of CH post-thoracic sympathectomy.

The foramen magnum in isolated and syndromic brachycephaly.

Background: Though the foramen magnum (FM) is often altered in complex craniosynostosis, no study analysed the FM dimensions in patients with brachycephaly specifically.

Patients And Methods: We measured the FM area, sagittal and transverse diameters on preoperative CT scans in patients with bicoronal synostosis (n = 40) and age-matched control group (n = 18). Our study included 16 children with FGFR3 p.

Mucopolysaccharidosis type I and craniosynostosis.

Mucopolysaccharidosis type-I is caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme α-L-iduronidase, resulting in gradual deposition of glycosaminoglycans in multiple body organs, affecting physical appearance and system functioning. We present the first reported case associating MPS-I (Hurler-Scheie subtype) with craniosynostosis. A 2.
