Hypercalcemia and malignant melanoma.

Hypercalcemia is a rare complication associated with malignant melanoma. Three recent cases of patients with malignant melanoma and hypercalcemia are described.

Adult gonococcal keratoconjunctivitis with AIDS.

Gonococcal eye infection in adults is an uncommon cause of blindness, where prompt diagnosis and effective treatment are essential in the prevention of ophthalmic morbidity. We present a case report detailing the management and complications encountered in this condition in a patient coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Occult ocular damage as a leading sign in the battered child syndrome.

A three-month old, premature female infant is presented with severe bilateral occult ocular damage comprised of cataracts, lenses dislocation, retinal hemorrhages and total funnel-shaped retinal detachment without external signs such as bruises. This severe eye trauma is the result of child abuse. We would like to alert pediatricians as well as ophthalmologists that any ocular injury should raise the possible diagnosis of battered child syndrome even in the absence of other supportive evidence of external trauma.

Recurrent ascites in an infant with perinatally acquired cytomegalovirus infection.

We describe an infant with symptomatic perinatally-acquired cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection manifested by fever, anaemia, thrombocytopenia and hepatosplenomegaly. This infant developed recurrent episodes of severe ascites during which the virus was isolated from his urine. This rare hepatic manifestation of neonatal CMV infection has, to the best of our knowledge, only been reported twice in aborted fetuses with intrauterine systemic CMV infection.

Nutritional complications in an infant fed exclusively on homemade sesame seed emulsion.

A 3-month-old infant was exclusively fed a high calorie homemade sesame seed emulsion for 4 weeks. As a result of the milk content, the infant developed hypermagnesemia, hypokalemia, hyponatremia, and hypovitaminosis C. Although the mixture was highly caloric and the infant's intake was good, he showed profound failure to thrive. Analysis of the emulsion indicated that this complication was primarily due to the heterogeneity of the emulsion's caloric content resulting from a settling process which occurred after the emulsion was placed in the infant's bottle. This settling resulted in the portion containing the most calories being the last to reach the infant's mouth. These findings indicate that whenever a vegetarian diet is provided to a bottle-fed infant, the potential heterogeneity of the mixture's caloric content, as well as the contents themselves, should be considered.

Transient tachypnoea of the newborn and asthma.

A total of 58 children aged 4-5 years who were diagnosed as having transient tachypnoea of the newborn were studied. In contrast with the control group (n = 58), the infants with transient tachypnoea of the newborn had a significantly higher incidence of recurrent (more than two) episodes of wheezy breathlessness, symptoms consistent with asthma, and signs consistent with atopy.

[Cecal pseudotumoral endometriosis: a rare cause of massive lower digestive hemorrhage. A clinical case].

A 45 year old female, with massive intestinal bleeding was subjected to barium enema disclosing a large lobulated mass in the caecum. A right hemicolectomy was performed. Gross pathological examination showed an infiltrative lesion of the caecum with superficial mucosal ulcerations. Histologically the cecal wall was studded with endometrial implants penetrating to the submucosal layer. No invasion of the mucosa was demonstrated. Recovery was uneventful. After 1 year of follow up the patient remain asymptomatic.

Technetium-labeled red blood cell imaging to evaluate soft tissue hemangioma of the hand.

Red blood cells labeled with technetium Tc 99m were used to evaluate the vascular nature of a subcutaneous tumor in a 12-year-old girl. The low perfusion and high blood pool that characterized the lesion were considered highly suggestive of subcutaneous cavernous hemangioma. This noninvasive method for diagnosing soft tissue hemangiomas is more specific than other imaging modalities such as ultrasound and arteriography. The usefulness and the importance of the method prior to surgical biopsy or resection are discussed.
