The purpose of this paper is to discuss a rare case of bilateral congenital mucous extravasation phenomenon on buccal mucosa near commissure of mouth. The lesions were noted at birth, subsequently enlarged to interfere with feeding. The lesion frequently ruptured, regressed, and again enlarged to interfere with normal function. The lesions were surgically removed under general anesthesia at 11 months of age and the diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination. Postoperative follow-up after 14 months showed no recurrence.

Early investigation of sensorineural hearing loss enables diagnosis of rare metabolic diseases, such as mucopolysaccharidosis type III.
BMJ Case Rep

A toddler presented to audiovestibular medicine with mild bilateral, sensorineural hearing loss identified via the Newborn Hearing Screening Programme. This report focuses on the early clinical assessment and aetiological investigation which prompted testing for metabolic disease and highlights the parents' perspective. Early investigation led to a relatively early diagnosis of mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) type IIIA: Sanfilippo disease which enabled the family to access a novel treatment option which otherwise would not have been possible.

Four genes-DAND5, PKD1L1, MMP21, and CIROP-form a genetic module that has specifically evolved in vertebrate species that harbor motile cilia in their left-right organizer (LRO). We find here that CIROZ (previously known as C1orf127) is also specifically expressed in the LRO of mice, frogs, and fish, where it encodes a protein with a signal peptide followed by 3 zona pellucida N domains, consistent with extracellular localization. We report 16 individuals from 10 families with bi-allelic CIROZ inactivation variants, which cause heterotaxy with congenital heart defects.

Purpose: This study is to conduct a retrospective review of the selective resection strategies, their immediate efficacy and prognosis, using double hemivertebrae (DHV) as illustrative cases.
Methods: A total of 59 adolescent and young adult patients with DHV were enrolled from 2009 to 2021. They were categorized into sagittal kyphosis group (SKG), coronal takeoff group (CTG) and balanced group (BG).
Kirners deformity - a systematic review and surgery recommendations.

Abteilung für Plastische und Handchirurgie UniversitätsCentrum für Orthopädie, Unfall- & Plastische Chirurgie, Universitätsklinikum Carl Gustav Carus an der Technischen Universität Dresden, Dresden, Germany.
Background: Kirner deformity is a rare anomaly of the little finger in adolescents, characterized by a deformity of the distal phalanx and a radiologically L-shaped epiphysis, along with palmar and radial angulation of the distal phalanx. Due to the rarity of these pathological findings, there are no systematic literature reviews available. This work serves as an overview of the clinical presentation, frequency and age distributions, as well as possible conservative and surgical treatment options.
