Introduction: Craniopharyngioma (CP) is a histologically benign rare tumor from the sellar and parasellar region. Its invasion into adjacent structures, namely optic nerve and hypothalamic-pituitary axis brings significant morbidity and warrants surgical treatment. Hypothalamic Syndrome (HS) can occur in different conditions affecting this structure, comprising a cluster of symptoms like pituitary dysfunction, obesity, temperature dysregulation, sleep disturba...

Introduction: Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 is an autosomal illness dominant caused by mutations in the gene menina (MEN1) with high penetrance, characterized by neoplasia parathyroid glands, anterior pituitary, endocrine pancreas and duodenum. Although it has been associated with other types of cancer like breast cancer.Methods and materials: Clinical analysis, mutational and sequencing report Sanger from gene MEN...

Background: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is one of the most frequent chronic diseases in the pediatric age and demands constant and rigorous glycemic control. Intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) systems are a helpful tool in diabetes management. Second-generation isCGM contain alarms to assist in the detection of hyper or hypoglycemia. We aimed to compare the sleep quality of principal caregivers of T1DM pediatric patients who use i...

Surgeries should be only performed by experienced surgeons. The current trend is the early correction, but some patients and non-governmental entities argue that the surgeries should be delayed until the patient’s consent.Objective...

Mosaic variegated aneuploidy (MVA) syndrome represents a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by aneuploidies with gain and loss of multiple chromosomes. We describe case of two Moroccan brothers with MVA2, due to CEP57 mutations. Patients are 17 and 13-year-old male siblings of a Moroccan healthy consanguineous couple. Oldest brother was delivered at 35 gestational weeks after IGR diagnosis, small for gestational age (SGA, 1300 grams, -3 SDS). Younger patient’...

Background: In Brazil, specially in the south, there is a high prevalence of p53 mutations – 1:300 compared to 1:5000-1:20000 incidence worldwide. (1) As a consequence, adrenocortical carcinoma as a cause of virilization in children is much more common in our practice.Clinical Case: M.P.O., a 32-month-old girl, was referred to our institution - Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre - in May 2022 due to progre...

Background: Clitoromegaly usually is a sign of virilization, and should lead to prompt evaluation in order to allow adequate treatment. Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a syndrome characterized by pigmentary changes, development of benign tumors of peripheral nerve and increased risk of other malignant tumors.Clinical Case: A five year old female patient was referred to the pediatric clinic of Hospital de Clínicas de Por...
