An acrodermatitis enteropathica-like syndrome occurred as a result of severe bowel disease and the use of zinc-deficient hyperalimentation regimens. Emphasis is placed on early and adequate zinc replacement to effectively prevent or reverse this entity.
Herpes zoster has rarely been noted to occur during pregnancy. We report the case of a woman at 37 weeks' gestation who developed herpes zoster and 3 weeks later delivered a normal infant. A 6-month follow-up has revealed no sequelae in the child. Pertinent clinical aspects of herpes zoster and a review of the literature indicating a favorable prognosis for infants exposed in utero are presented.
True blepharochalasis occurring in young adults and associated with recurrent bouts of eyelid swelling and eventual lid laxity is an uncommon entity. We report the case of an 18-year-old woman who had a nine-year history of unilateral blepharochalasis. A skin biopsy specimen that showed the absence of stainable elastic tissue confirmed the clinical impression, and appropriate surgical correction was carried out.
