CME EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES: 1.Identify clinical features of a microcystic lymphatic malformation (MLM).2.Understand evaluation and treatment options for MLM.3.Identify symptom-based management approach for MLM. A 13-year-old white female presented to the pediatric dermatology clinic for a lesion on her right proximal upper extremity. The lesion initially appeared at 5 years of age as a cluster of skin-colored and erythematous papules. Following their appearance, the patient developed recurrent episodes of pain and swelling in the area, followed by bruising and the color of the papules changing to dark red. The symptoms and signs typically progressed over 1 week, spontaneously resolved over several more weeks, but then recurred every 4 to 6 months.

Introduction: The urachus is a fetal canal that connects the allantois to the bladder and typically obliterates by the 6th month of gestation. Failure of the urachus to obliterate can result in urachal anomalies, which, in rare cases, may undergo malignant transformation.
Case Presentation: We present a case of a 13-year-old female who experienced hematuria, dysuria, and abdominal pain persisting for over 4 months.

Background: Pathogenic variants in are associated with pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE), a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by epileptic seizures, unresponsiveness to standard antiseizure medications (ASM), and a response only to pyridoxine. Here, we report two patients (from a consanguineous family) with neonatal seizures and developmental delay.
Case Presentation: Patient 1 (a 13-year-old girl) was born normally at term.
Case report: Cilioretinal artery occlusion combined with central retinal vein occlusion as the initial presentation of pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Article Synopsis
- PAH can cause serious ocular conditions like CRVO and CilRAO due to high blood pressure in the lungs affecting blood flow to the eyes.
- A 13-year-old girl with a history of heart surgery experienced sudden vision loss, with tests revealing both CRVO and CilRAO, along with signs of severe PAH.
- Treatment with Bosentan and traditional Chinese medicine led to significant vision improvement, highlighting the importance of addressing cardiovascular issues to prevent eye complications and the need for a comprehensive approach in such complex cases.
Loop gain and central chemosensitivity assessment as a valuable tool in guiding treatment decisions for central sleep apnea in children.

This study presents two cases of central sleep apnea syndrome in children, highlighting the utility of assessing ventilatory control stability, particularly loop gain and central chemosensitivity in treatment decision-making. In the first case, elevated loop gain for oxygen correlated with periodic breathing, leading to successful treatment with supplemental oxygen in a 13 year-old boy with Prader-Willi-like syndrome. Conversely, in the second case, dealing with a 10 year-old girl with tumor in the brainstem-spinal cord junction, reduced loop gain prompted treatment with nocturnal non-invasive ventilation.
