Background: Camurati-Engelmann disease (CED) is an extremely rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder that can cause increased intracranial pressure (ICP) secondary to cranial hyperostosis, which decreases intracranial volume. Surgical procedures to reduce ICP in medically refractory cases include intracranial volume expansion and ventriculoperitoneal shunting.

Observations: The authors present the case of a pediatric patient with CED and medically refractory increased ICP who underwent unilateral hemicraniectomy with titanium cranioplasty, resulting in a complete long-term resolution of symptoms.

Camurati-Engelmann Disease (CED), or Progressive Diaphyseal Dysplasia, is a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by heterozygous mutations in the Gene, essential for bone regeneration. This study examines the genotype-phenotype relationship in a family diagnosed with CED, specifically focusing on a missense variant (c.653G>A, p.

Article Synopsis
  • Camurati-Engelmann disease (CED) is a rare genetic illness that makes long bones in the body grow thicker than normal, causing pain and trouble walking.
  • A 30-month-old boy was found to have CED after initial treatments for a different condition didn't work, and special tests showed changes in his TGFB-1 gene.
  • Since CED is rare and can show different symptoms, doctors need to be careful and think of it when diagnosing patients to help manage their symptoms better.

Article Synopsis
  • - Camurati-Engelmann disease (CED) is a genetic bone disorder categorized into two types based on TGFB1 mutations, where CED2 lacks these mutations.
  • - In this study, researchers discovered two new mutations in the TGFB2 gene in CED2 patients, which affect a specific region of the gene, potentially leading to increased TGF-β2 activity and bone formation.
  • - The findings indicate that CED2 may result from heightened TGF-β2 signaling due to a loss of regulatory functions of the latency-associated peptide (LAP), highlighting distinct roles of TGFB1 and TGFB2 in bone development.

Ribbing's disease is a rare form of sclerosing bone dysplasia characterized by exuberant yet benign endosteal bone, and periosteum formation in the diaphysis of long bones. Diagnosis relies on exclusionary criteria, as the primary clinical manifestations entail progressive pain unresponsive to analgesic therapy, accompanied by serological markers within normal ranges. Pain management constitutes the cornerstone of treatment, with surgery appearing to offer the most efficacious approach, despite the absence of a standardized therapeutic algorithm.
