Abstract

A deformity consisting of a single orbital fossa with absent globes with proboscis like structure on forehead is described in a 1200 gram female neonate who died immediately after birth. This neonate was born to a 35 years old Para VIII mother at term. Observations from clinical and post mortem examination are presented and literature review made. Because of its rare occurrence and tentative evidence for both genetic and environmental etiologies, reporting of cases of Cyclopia is encouraged.

Congenital lobar emphysema and sequestration--treatment by embolization.

A case of congenital lobar emphysema associated with pulmonary sequestration, presenting with respiratory distress in infancy, is reported. The lobar hyperinflation was managed by emergency lobectomy. The ipsilateral lower lobe affected with vascular sequestration was salvaged by therapeutic embolization, thus avoiding the long-term sequelae of pneumonectomy. The case is reported for its rarity.

Currarino syndrome associated with penoscrotal inversion and perineal fissure.

We present an unusual case of Currarino syndrome with a mucosa-lined deep perineal fissure extending to the sacrum, penoscrotal transposition, perineal hypospadias, and a penile ventral skin defect. The child had a sigmoid diverting colostomy because of high anal atresia. Magnetic resonance imaging illustrated absence of the levator ani and muscle complex in the pelvis. At 15 months, perianal examination pointed out a fistula orifice and a sac related to the fistula at the left side of the perineal fissure. The fistula, a fluid-filled sac extending to the sacrum, and mucosa overlying the perineal fissure were removed en bloc. The neck of the sac was ligated and divided at the level of the distal sacrum. In the same session, a Glenn-Anderson procedure was performed for penoscrotal transposition, and the penile chordee was released. X-ray showed a bony deformity of the sacrococcygeal region in the shape of a scimitar. Histopathological examination demonstrated that the sac contained glial neuronal islands and nerve fibers. The boy has no neurologic deficits and seems to be well. To our knowledge, these associated malformations are extremely rare.

Ring chromosome 4 in a patient with early onset type 2 diabetes, deafness, and developmental delay.

To date, most ring formations of chromosome 4 lose distal 4p and usually include the Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome region [WHS]. We describe a case with r(4) in a girl who presented without features of WHS; she had mild developmental delay, deafness, short stature, obesity, and the onset of type 2 diabetes in adolescence, a distinctive phenotype. Although 4p was significantly deleted on Giemsa banding, the 4p junction was distal to the WHS and FGFR3 but proximal to the D4S3360 marker. The 4q breakpoint was close to the telomere. The phenotype appears different from previous patients with 4p- or r(4), which have had more extensive 4p deletion.
