Introduction And Importance: Iron overload is an abnormal accumulation of iron in parenchymal organs that leads to end-organ damage which could be either primary or secondary to repeated blood cell transfusion, its manifestations usually start in middle age and rarely in childhood.
Case Presentation: The authors present a rare case of an 11-year-old male with iron overload secondary to repeated packed blood transfusion for autoimmune haemolytic anaemia. He developed type 1 diabetes, pituitary atrophy, and hepatic injury.
Unlabelled: SCHMID metaphyseal chondrodysplasia is a rare cause of short stature with a good prognosis regarding other types of chondrodysplasia in reason of the normal integrity of the growth plate.
Case Presentation: The authors present a rare case of 4-year-2-month-old boy referred to our Unit for harmonious short stature, he had a waddling gait, subtle micromelia, and hyperlordosis, no special facies.
Clinical Discussion: The skeletal scan made the diagnosis of SCHMID metaphyseal chondrodysplasia.
Introduction: Primary amenorrhea is the absence of the first menarche. There are many causes for primary amenorrhea: gonadal dysgenesis, obstruction of the outflow tract, malformations of the hypothalamus, and the suppression of the hypothalamic pituitary gonadal axis.
Case Presentation: A 17-year and 6-month old girl was referred to our Endocrinology Clinic for the evaluation of primary amenorrhea, short stature and reduced general condition.
Introduction And Importance: Triple A (Allgrove) syndrome is an autosomal recessive multi-organ disease, caused by a mutated gene on chromosome 12q13 in most cases, characterized by the classic triad of Alacrimia, Achalasia and Adrenal insufficiency; along with neurologic abnormalities and many other manifestations in some cases.While short stature is not a rare manifestation in the context of this syndrome, it remains without identifiable cause.
Case Presentation: Here we described an 8-year-old female who had feeding difficulties, recurrent vomiting, hyperpigmentation and short stature.
Cow's milk protein intolerance (CMPI) is a common condition that causes gastrointestinal bleeding in the first year of life. It is the most common cause of chronic blood loss and anemia; however, severe massive hematemesis is an uncommon condition. Herein, we present a case of severe massive hematemesis with melena stool in a six-month-old boy with cow's milk protein intolerance.
