We Summarize a three cases of transient fetal hypertrichosis in low risk preganant women. Hypertrichosis has been previously associated with over 140 different syndromes (OMIM); however this finding is rarely described in prenatal ultrasound. In this study we describe the finding of hypertrichosis which resolved later in gestation. CASE N1: A prominent unibrow (synophrys) and elongated eyelashes were noted at 24 weeks of gestation with no other abnormal features. CASE N 2: A prenatal ultrasound scan was performed at 24 weeks and revealed: horseshoe kidney and localized hypertrichosis on the lower back. CASE N 3: Ultrasound exam at 24 weeks of gestation demonstrated localized hypertrichosis on the chin. CONCLUSION: Transient localized hypertrichosis with no other major findings has a favorable prenatal outcome.

Article Synopsis
- Spinal intradural lipomas are rare tumors, particularly when not linked to spinal dysraphism, and are often diagnosed late due to their gradual growth and location.
- A case involving an eight-year-old girl revealed a lipoma and a cyst in her lumbar region, leading to symptoms like limb weakness and urinary issues; both lesions were partially removed surgically with a successful recovery.
- The discovery of fluid-filled cysts alongside lipomas is extremely rare, and while the exact origin of these lipomas is unclear, their coexistence with cysts may prompt earlier detection and intervention.

Introduction: Potassium ion channels play a crucial role in maintaining cellular electrical stability and are implicated in various epilepsies. Heterozygous pathogenic variants in KCNK4 cause a recognizable neurodevelopmental syndrome with facial dysmorphism, hypertrichosis, epilepsy, intellectual disability (ID), and gingival overgrowth (FHEIG). To date, no more than nine patients with FHEIG have been described worldwide and still little is known about epileptic phenotype in KCNK4-related disease.

Introduction: Membranous aplasia cutis congenita (MACC) is the most common clinical subtype of aplasia cutis congenita (ACC). It is typified by a localized skin lesion devoid of hair and features a membranous surface. While most MACC individuals do not present with concurrent abnormalities, it can sometimes co-occur with additional physical anomalies and various malformation syndromes.

Article Synopsis
- * A 14-year study analyzed over 700 patients with syndromic deafness (SD) in Tunisia, using advanced genetic sequencing techniques to identify various genetic conditions, including Usher syndrome and H syndrome.
- * The research highlights challenges in distinguishing between non-syndromic and syndromic HI and reveals that nearly 50% of Tunisian SD cases relate to rare inherited metabolic disorders, providing valuable insights for improving molecular diagnoses in Tunisia and North Africa.
