This case report presents the management of tachycardiomyopathy (TCM) in a patient with Friedreich ataxia, a hereditary disorder characterized by progressive neurodegeneration and associated cardiac complications. The patient exhibited severe tachycardia-induced cardiac dysfunction, complicating the clinical picture due to the overlapping neurological symptoms of Friedreich ataxia. Utilizing a 3D mapping system, catheter ablation was performed to accurately identify and target the arrhythmogenic foci contributing to the patient's TCM.

Primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) is a critical condition that requires prompt diagnosis and initiation of treatment. Diagnosis can be challenging due to various underlying causes, including defects in adrenal gland development, resistance to adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), autoimmune causes, and metabolic problems. A specific diagnosis is essential for developing a treatment plan and identifying other possible accompanying pathologies.

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by the deficiency of one of the enzymes involved in cortisol synthesis. More than 95% of the cases occur as a result of defects in the gene encoding 21-hydroxylase (CYP21A2). 21 hydroxylase deficiency has been divided into classical and non-classical forms.

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by the deficiency of one of the enzymes involved in cortisol synthesis. Between 90% and 99% of cases of CAH are caused by 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD) caused by mutations in CYP21A2. Although 21OHD has been historically divided into classical and non-classical forms, it is now thought to show a continuous phenotype.

The milk ladder (ML) approach, which is the gradual reintroduction of the milk allergen from the least allergenic forms to the most allergenic forms into the diet of the patients, has been utilized mostly in non-IgE-mediated but in some countries also in IgE-mediated-CMPA due to its possible benefits which include nutrition, quality of life and tolerance induction. Despite increasing interest, so far, there is no guideline on ML; thus, the use of this approach shows discrepancies among healthcare professionals as many factors such as dietary habits, patient history, test results, workload, and facilities of the hospitals, the anxiety of the parents/patients may affect the decision on how, when, where and whom to use ML. Here, we reviewed current data on implementing the ML, suggested a 4-step ML including receipts and amounts, and shared our experience on optimal patient selection, appropriate time and steps for initiating ML, and time intervals between the steps targeting the lowest risk of reaction.

Preseptal cellulitis is a commonly observed inflammation of the eyelid and the surrounding skin in pediatric patients, especially after a minor trauma. Although preseptal cellulitis is generally associated with a more favorable prognosis, it is vital to remember that all orbital infections require prompt diagnosis and treatment because of the risk of severe complications. Inadequate or failure to adhere to the treatment plan and unmet hygiene standards can lead to severe complications; therefore, diligent follow-up care should be undertaken by both the physician and the patient.
