Idiopathic Infantile Arterial Calcification (IIAC) is a rare syndrome of unknown cause characterized by disruption and calcification of the internal elastic laminae of fetal arteries with calcium deposits leading to fibrosis and occlusion of the arteries. The diagnosis is often made at post-mortem examination. However, in a few cases it has been detected prenatally as in this case. Fewer than 10 cases of antenatal detection of this condition have been reported in the literature. In our case, thrombotic microangiopathy was an added feature, which has not been reported thus far in the literature to the best of our knowledge.

Isolated Temporomandibular Arthritis as Presentation of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis.

Rheumatology Unit, Department of Childhood and Developmental Medicine, ASST Fatebenefratelli-Sacco, Milano, MI.
Involvement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) has been increasingly reported, affecting up to 87% of cases. This involvement generally occurs after the diagnosis of JIA has been established; however, in the authors' cases, as in a few others documented in the literature, patients presented with isolated TMJ arthritis as the sole joint involvement. The authors performed a narrative literature review on TMJ involvement in JIA and reported 2 cases that presented with isolated TMJ arthritis as the initial manifestation of JIA.

This study aimed to discuss the pathogenic hereditary factors of children with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) in Guangxi, China. We recruited 89 patients with SRNS or infantile NS from five major pediatric nephrology centers in Guangxi, and conducted a retrospective analysis of clinical data. Whole-exome sequencing analysis was also performed on all patients.

Article Synopsis
- - The incidence of genetic diseases linked to chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been on the rise, prompting a review of monogenic causes related to kidney stone disorders.
- - Identified monogenic conditions include primary hyperoxaluria, cystinuria, and Dent disease, all of which can lead to CKD and possibly progress to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD).
- - It's important to conduct genetic testing in children with kidney stones, as a significant number of these patients may develop CKD due to underlying genetic disorders.
