Understanding the heterogenicity of unicoronal synostosis - A morphometric analysis of cases compared to controls.

J Plast Reconstr Aesthet Surg

December 2024

Department of Surgical Sciences, Plastic surgery, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the variability in skull and facial deformation in patients with unicoronal synostosis, a condition affecting the shape of the head due to early fusion of the skull bones.
  • Researchers analyzed data from 95 patients and 93 controls to identify correlations between different cranial deformities, age, and timing of surgeries, finding significant relationships between skull base and orbital asymmetries.
  • The findings suggest that the differences in cranial shape are mainly linked to skull base structure and that certain cranial sutures' fusion could potentially limit the extent of deformity.

Article Synopsis
  • - Autosomal recessive congenital ichthyoses (ARCIs) are a group of skin disorders marked by scaling due to mutations in at least 12 different genes, with this study aiming to explore disease characteristics and their link to genetic factors.
  • - The research involved 74 patients, primarily affected by lamellar ichthyosis and congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma, leading to the discovery of 25 new mutations and specific associations between mutations and clinical symptoms, such as alopecia and thick scales linked to particular gene mutations.
  • - The findings highlighted that patients with mutations in TGM1 and ABCA12 had more severe symptoms compared to those with other mutations, while unique skin features were observed in NIPAL4-mut

Newborn Skin: Part I. Common Rashes and Skin Changes.

University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Lititz Family Medicine Residency Program, Lititz, Pennsylvania.

Article Synopsis
  • Rashes in newborns are common and usually harmless, but infections should be considered if there are pustules or vesicles, especially if the baby appears unwell or has risk factors for infections.
  • Congenital cytomegalovirus can lead to serious issues like hearing loss and neurodevelopmental delays, with skin signs such as petechiae, while congenital syphilis shows up as copper-red lesions on the hands and feet that crust over time.
  • Some rashes, like erythema toxicum neonatorum, are normal and temporary, while conditions like neonatal and infantile acne can differ, with milia being present at birth; transient changes like cutis marmor

Harlequin ichthyosis is a severe and fatal presentation of ichthyosis with an autosomal recessive inheritance. Infants with Harlequin ichthyosis have a high mortality rate, and a dismal prognosis; therefore the majority of neonates die shortly after birth from infection, heat loss, dehydration, electrolytic imbalances, or respiratory distress. The aim of this case report was to present a fatal case of Harlequin ichthyosis with no family history of any inherited skin disorder.
