Article Synopsis
- Subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn is a rare condition that occurs mainly in full-term or post-term infants, often linked to complications during childbirth or maternal health issues.
- The skin shows red, swollen plaques and nodules usually on the back and shoulders, and diagnosis relies on clinical observation and pathology tests that reveal specific inflammatory changes and fat cell necrosis.
- While generally self-limiting, it can lead to serious complications like hypercalcemia, requiring careful monitoring and treatment during diagnosis and follow-up.
Successful management of toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) with tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors has been described in adults, but few cases have been reported in children. To date, only four pediatric cases of TEN treated with infliximab and one with etanercept have been published. We present the case of an 8-year-old boy diagnosed with TEN induced by levetiracetam, successfully treated with etanercept, systemic corticosteroids, and intravenous immunoglobulin.
