Djermane Adel , Fafa Abdennader , Ouarezki Yasmina , Ghedjati Asma , Kermi Lynda , Atek Laziz , Arous Radjaa , Semar Yasmine , Aggoune Samira , Maouche Hachemi

Background: Diabetic neuropathic cachexia is a rare syndrome of acute neuropathic pain and profound weight loss. Mauriac syndrome has rarely been reported in children and adolescents with a poorly controlled diabetes mellitus type 1. Common presenting features include short stature, growth retardation, moon facies, protuberant abdomen, and proximal muscle wasting. We report the first case of the association of Mauriac Syndrome and Diabetic neuropathic cachexia...

Hormonal Assessment of Malformation Syndromes Associated with Disorders of Sex Development: Case Series of 9 Patients

Mahfouz Shaymaa , Abdelmeguid Yasmine

Introduction: Disorder of sex development (DSD) is a challenging condition confronting the patients, their relatives and the clinicians. It is more challenging when this disorder is associated with other extra-genital malformations. This makes their overall management more complex than if they just had DSD. Moreover, some of them have disturbed testicular function.Aim of the work: this work aimed at clinical review of 9 ...

The Unusual Adverse Side Effects of Super-Potent Topical Steroids

Abdelmeguid Yasmine , Mahfouz Shaymaa

Background: Topical steroids are commonly used in clinical practice for management of dermatological diseases. Clobetasol propionate is the most potent. They are systemically absorbed and may cause adverse side effects due to improper and prolonged use, such as iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome and adrenal insufficiency due to suppression of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.Case presentation: A 7-month-old boy referre...

A rare case of Aldosterone synthase deficiency presenting with Hypertension.

Abdelmeguid Yasmine , Khater Doaa

Introduction: Aldosterone synthase deficiency (ASD), also known as Corticosterone methyloxidase deficiency, is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by severe hyperkalemia, salt loss, vomiting, severe dehydration and failure to thrive. It is caused by inactivating mutations of the CYP11B2 gene. We herein report the first confirmed Egyptian infant who had clinical and hormonal features of aldosterone synthase deficiency. Unexpectedly, our p...

Stüve-Wiedemann syndrome: an extremely rare disorder causing recurrent fractures.

Abdelmeguid Yasmine , Abdul-Aziz Ahmed

Background: Stüve-Wiedemann syndrome (SWS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder, due to mutations in the leukemia inhibitory factor receptor (LIFR) gene. It is characterized by bowed-long bones, joint restrictions, dysautonomia, respiratory and feeding difficulties leading to death during infancy. In SWS survivors beyond 2 years of age, orthopedic problems are the main concern e.g. spinal deformations, osteoporosis and recurrent spontaneous fra...

To give or not to give GnRH agonists in central precocious puberty due to pituitary microadenoma?

Abdelmeguid Yasmine , Elsayed Shaymaa , Raafat Shaymaa

Background: Functioning gonadotroph adenomas (FGAs) are very rare gonadotropin-secreting pituitary adenomas. Clinically, FGAs present only with mass effects. Nevertheless, central precocious puberty (CPP) has also been reported. Published data have demonstrated controversial opinions on the use of GnRH agonists in these patients, considering the risk of increase in tumor size and stimulating gonadotropin secretion. We herein report 3 cases diagnosed with CPP d...

Basal LH as a screening test for diagnosis of central precocious puberty

Raafat Shaymaa , Abdelmeguid Yasmine , Fawzy Dina ,

Introduction: Central precocious puberty (CPP) refers to the development of secondary sex characteristics before ages 8 and 9 years in girls and boys, respectively. It is either due to organic brain lesion or idiopathic. Conventionally, Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) stimulation test is a mainstay tool for diagnosis of central precocious puberty in pediatrics. However, it is time consuming and expensive. Therefore, this study was aiming to find an alter...

Atypical genitalia as a new presentation of ectodermal dysplasia: case report

Raafat Shaimaa , abdelmeguid yasmine , Waheeb saber

Background: Ectodermal dysplasia is considered as an inherited multi-systemic disorder affecting tissues derived from ectoderm (skin, hair, teeth, nails and sweat glands). There are many genes involved in genetic background of this disorder with variable modes of inheritance. The thrombospondin-type laminin G domain and epilepsy- associated repeats (TSPEAR) gene have been found in some patients with this disorder with interesting variable phenotypic spectrum. ...

Evaluating Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Enzyme Activity In Children With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus.

Abdelmeguid Yasmine , Mosaad Nesma , Khater Doaa

Introduction: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) remains the most common form of diabetes in young people. Little is known about the relationship between G6PD deficiency and DM. However, experimental observations support the hypothesis that hyperglycemia can lead to a decrease of G6PD activity, which is of major importance for defense against oxidative stress. Hyperglycemia may lead to the production of free radicals that are known to contribute to the pathogenes...

The association between Epilepsy and Diabetes mellitus diagnosed before 2 years of age

Abdelmeguid Yasmine , Mowafy Ehsan , Marzouk Iman , Elsayed Shaymaa

Introduction: Epilepsy or seizures are often observed in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Different types of seizures occur in approximately 25% of patients with DM. The exact cause remains undetermined. Moreover, a possible association between T1DM and epilepsy exists. Risk factors for epilepsy in T1DM include younger age at onset, recurrent hypoglycemia or DKA, and poor glycemic control.Aim of the work: The aim of...
