Bullous aplasia cutis congenita (BACC) is a rather uncommon entity. The diagnosis can be quite tricky as the entity is not very frequent. Trichoscopy might in these cases be helpful to achieve the correct diagnosis. In this article, we describe for the first time a new sign for BACC that we believe can be useful to arrive at the correct diagnosis.

Rare delayed hypersensitivity reactions to contrast media: Severe cutaneous adverse reactions.
Eur J Radiol

The risk of developing a severe delayed cutaneous reaction (SCAR) is very low following iodine-based contrast medium (ICM) administration and extremely low following gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) administration. However, SCAR can be very severe and potentially life-threatening. It is crucial for the imaging physician to recognize danger signals: bullous skin eruption, skin erosion and detachment, mucosal involvement, systemic symptoms, and laboratory abnormalities.

: Ocular predominant mucous membrane pemphigoid (oMMP) is a severe subtype of autoimmune blistering disease (AIBD), which can result in scarring and vision loss. The diagnosis of oMMP is challenging as patients often have undetectable levels of circulating autoantibodies by conventional assays. Likewise, the principal autoantigen in oMMP has been an area of debate.

D-penicillamine is used as the mainstay of chelation therapy for Wilson's disease and for heavy metal intoxication. D-penicillamine itself has been noted to cause several systemic side effects as well as symptoms related to the skin. Common cutaneous side effects such as acute hypersensitivity reactions, elastic fiber abnormalities, and bullous diseases have been occasionally described.

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses a rare case of a female patient with Turner syndrome (TS) who faced congenital pulmonary issues, including emphysema and pulmonary hypertension, developing over time.
- The patient experienced significant health challenges from infancy through adulthood, including heart dysfunction, surgical interventions, and multiple medical treatments.
- The study suggests that altered lymphatic drainage in utero may lead to lung abnormalities in TS patients, advocating for continuous monitoring and management of potential cardiopulmonary complications.
