Background: CYP11A1 gene encodes the cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme, P450scc, which plays a key role in the initial steps of steroidogenesis. CYP11A1 insufficiency lead to a variable phenotype ranging from severe early onset primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) in the neonatal period,with 46,XY DSD; to late-onset PAI with normal genitalia.Objective: Detail the phenotype of a family sharing newly described...

Background: Hypophysitis is a rare inflammatory condition of the pituitary that can mimic a neoplastic lesion. Histopathology subtypes include lymphocytic, granulomatous, xanthomatous, plasmacytic or a mixed picture. Among these, xanthomatous hypophysitis (XH) is the least common with an unknown aetiology. Unlike lymphocytic hypophysitis, which is believed to be autoimmune in origin, XH is rarely reported to be associated with other autoimmune diseases and res...

A 20-year old lady with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes mellitus diagnosed since 9 years old, comorbidities of hyperlipidemia and steatohepatitis as well as a history of smoking, presented with an acute 2-day history of involuntary, writhing movements of her left upper and lower limbs. Physical examination confirmed left mild hemiparesis with hemichorea-athetosis. Emergent MRI brain demonstrated abnormal signal in the right caudate nucleus and lentiform nucleus (low T2W/FLAI...

Osteogenesis imperfecta is a heritable systemic disorder of bone and connective tissue. Acceptance of children and their family is associated with medical, growth, developmental conflicts, physical, social and emotional. The study about impact of OI in children’s quality of life is still limited. Aims is to analyze PedsQL score in OI children in Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya.Methode: This study is a cross sectional study held in pediatric endocrine...

Background: Ramadan fasting may influence metabolic control in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. Fructosamine is an accurate metabolic control in a short-term period. Comparison of fructosamine between intensive and conventional insulin regimen in T1DM children has not been widely studied.Objective: To compare fructosamine level between intensive and conventional insulin regimens during Ramadan Fasting in T1DM.Methods: Observational analyt...

Background: Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus children are at risk to suffer from thyroid dysfunction. The association between thyroid stimulating hormone and hemoglobin A1c is still controversy.Objective: To determine the association between thyroid stimulating hormone and hemoglobin A1c in type 1 Diabetes Mellitus children.Methods: We conducted a cross sectional study from January - June 2017 in pediatric endocrine outpatient clinic dr So...

Introduction: Chronic pancreatitis is defined as recurrent or persistent pancreatitis, which will result in irreversible morphological change in pancreatic structure leading to pancreatic exocrine and endocrine insufficiency. ICCP is a rare condition and only few cases in adults have been reported in Sri Lanka. Prevalence of ICCP is highly variable in Asian and western countries. We present a rare case of FCPD in a 9 a years old boy.<str...

Introduction: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), is a genetically heterogeneous connective tissue disorder associated with skeletal fragility, deformity, and growth deficiency. Intravenous bisphosphonate therapy is the mainstay of medical treatment of this condition. Given the paucity of data from Asia we sought to evaluate the genetic epidemiology and the response to pamidronate therapy in a cohort of Malaysian patients.Method: Genetic analysis was performed...

Background: Monogenic forms of diabetes are still rare and not well understood. Their prevalence accounting for 1–4% of pediatric diabetes cases. Several genes encoding proteins important to β-cell function or regulation have been identified that lead to monogenic diabetes. However, awareness of these conditions may be lacking, and screening for them genetically is not routinely undertaken due to lack facility.Objective: To report a case diagno...

Background: Klinefelter Syndrome (KS) is the most common sex chromosome disorder in males caused by additional X chromosome. It is characterized by progressive testicular failure. KS patient usually have complete male sexual differentiation without genital ambiguity. The prevalence of KS is 1 in 660 males which only 10% are detected before or during puberty, and about two third so fall men with X-chromosome polyploidies fail to be identified during their lifetime.<p class=...
