Introduction: Growth hormone therapy (GHT); have been used in rare diseases such as growth hormone deficiency (GHD), panhipopituitarism (PHP), intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), Turner Syndrome(TS) for many years while the effects of diagnostic timing on the treatment results are known. However,data on the diagnosis and treatment processes of these diseases are limited in our country. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of diagnosis, follow-...

Introduction: Ovarian torsion (OT) occurs with partial or complete obstruction of blood flow as a result of rotation of the ovary around the infundibulopelvic ligament and/or utero-ovarian ligament. OT is very rare in the pediatric population. Although the most common form of presentation is abdominal pain, the unclear symptom profile in children can often result in missed diagnosis or late diagnosis. For the preservation of ovarian functions and future fertil...

Background: Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) is a rare monogenic form of diabetes that result in β-cell dysfunction. MODY accounts for 2–5% of all diabetes cases. We presented here a family with MODY2 caused by a novel heterozygous p.L164I (c.490 C>A) mutation of the GCK gene.Case: A 15,5-year-old girl was admitted to our department because of fasting hyperglycemia. She had no polyuria, polydipsia and weight loss...

Introduction: Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (HH) is a clinically, genetically and morphologically heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by dysregulation of insulin secretion by pancreatic beta cells. HH may be associated with congenital, genetic, metabolic or syndromic causes. Here, a case in which Turner Syndrome (TS) and hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia were detected together is presented due to its rarity.Case: A...

Introduction: IMAGE Syndrome (#614732) is an autosomal dominant inherited syndrome as a result of CDKN1C mutation characterized by the association of intrauterine growth retardation, metaphyseal dysplasia, adrenal hypoplasia congenita, and genital anomalies. Here, long-term follow-up of a case with clinical IMAGE syndrome, no genetic mutation was detected, will be presented.Case: A three-month-old baby boy was brought wi...

Introduction: APECED Syndrome; is a rare, autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the autoimmun regulatuar AIRE gene on the chromosome 21. Although classical triad is mucocutaneous candidiasis, hypoparathyroidism and adrenal insufficiency; endocrine / non-endocrine involvement may also be seen. Possible involvement should be evaluated without any clinical signs. We report a case of APECED syndrome with autoimmune hypophysitis secondary to growth hor...

Introduction: Intracranial teratomas constitute 0.5% of all intracranial tumors. Teratoma localized in the sellar region is very rare in children. Here, we will present a case in which growth hormone deficiency was detected upon admission with complaints of short stature, craniopharyngioma was considered on cranial imaging, and sellar teratoma was diagnosed during the operation.Case: A four-year-ten-month-old male patien...

Introduction: Derivative chromosome is a rearrangement involving two or more chromosomes or the presence of multiple abnormalities in a single chromosome and always contains intact centromere. Segmental anomalies such as inversion or translocation in derivative chromosome may result in partial duplication or deletion during meiosis. Chromosomal translocations usually result in miscarriage and multiple anomalies (common neurodevelopmental defects, growth retard...
