Babiker Amir , Bin Afif Yassir , Dubayee Mohammed Al , Juraibah Fahad Al , Atawi Mohsen Al , Mutair Angham Al , Alwan Ibrahim Al

Background: Partial gonadal dysgenesis is a rare 46, XY Disorder of sex development (DSD) characterized by a varying degree of testicular dysgenesis, ambiguous genitalia, and persistence or absence of regression of Müllerian structures. Many studies examined the challenges in presentation and gender assignment regarding the genital features, genetic mutations and histopathological risks of dysgenetic gonads. More recently some studies described the long-term outcome of pa...

Al-Abdulrazzaq Dalia , Al-Taiar Abdulla , Hassan Kholoud , Al-Twari Basma , Al-Osaimi Abdulaziz , Al-Busairi Iman

Background: Short stature is a prominent complaint for which children are referred to pediatric endocrinologists. Data on short stature is lacking in the Arab states in the gulf region despite the fact that treatment is easily accessible. The study aimed to describe the referral pattern, baseline characteristics, and etiological profile of children referred with short stature to a pediatric endocrine clinic in Kuwait.Method: This is a cross-sectional ret...

Suprasellar Brain Tumours Related Endocrinopathies

Babiker Amir , Edrees Amani , Gadi Iman Al , Issa Sharefah Al , Malik Safdar , Watedi Sharief Al , Aeyadhy Ayman Al , Hassan Saeed , Otaibi Hessah Al , Jurayyan Nasir Al

Background: Brain tumours constitute the second most common tumours in childhood after leukaemia. Infra-tentorial tumours are more common. Most of the supra-tentorial tumours (STT) are in the supra or para-sellar regions. Malignant tumours are rare. The survival is 50–90% with appropriate management. However, STT and/or treatment may lead to traumatic brain injury (TBI) with endocrinopathic sequel.Methods: This is a retrospective hospital based stud...

Introduction: Adrenal insufficiency can be caused by different factors. Biotin deficiency is either nutritional or related to synthesis/recycling defects. We are reporting a rare case of adrenal insufficiency complicating a late diagnosis of holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency in an infant who also had protein-S-deficiency, later thought to be secondary.Case: Term female infant born, to non-consanguineous parents, in good condition wit...

Is it Hyponatremia or Pseudohyponatremia? Management of Low Serum Sodium in Patient with Acute Pancreatitis Secondary to Hypertriglyceridemia

Alsaffar Hussain , Al-Mamari Moza , Al-Mamari Salim , AlShidhani Azza

Background: Hyponatremia is an electrolyte disorder, that may lead to severe complications such as rhabdomyolysis, seizures, coma, and death. Clinicians do take hyponatremia seriously. However sometimes clinicians should be careful in interpreting the low laboratory sodium level as it does not necessarily reflect the actual natremic status especially when the patient is euvolemic and having normal serum osmolality, for which pseudohyponatremia should be consid...

Experience of Burosumab Therapy in Four Children with X-linked Hypophosphataemia in Saudi Arabia

Al-Juraibah Fahad , Al-Dubayee Mohammed , Babiker Amir

X-linked hypophosphataemia (XLH) is the most common form of inherited hypophosphataemic rickets, caused by loss-of-function mutations in the gene encoding phosphate-regulating endopeptidase homologue X-linked (PHEX), resulting in excess circulating fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23).1,2 In children, clinical features include delayed walking, waddling gait, leg bowing, pain, spontaneous dental abscesses and growth failure. Current therapies do not treat the underly...

Testing Antiandrogens and Aromatase Inhibitors to Achieve Normal Growth in Children with Classical Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Al Balwi Rana , Al Madani Wedad , Saad Rania , Ferwana Mazen

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency is an autosomal recessive disease in which adrenal synthesis of glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids is impaired and steroid biosynthesis is directed toward the formation of excessive androgens. Persistently high androgens will accelerate bone maturation and reduce final adult height.Objectives: To assess the efficacy of androgen antagonist Flutamide and aromatase inhibitor Tastolact...

Chronic Effects of Bisphenol A Administration on Growth Hormone Activity

AL-Masroori Mohammed , Hebais Mohammed , AL-Araimi Amnah , Zadjali Fahad

Background: Bisphenol A (BPA), a plastic byproduct, is a known endocrine disruptor and is types of cancers, such as prostate and ovaries, and some other health conditions, for instance diabetes and obesity. It has direct effect on reproductive system through its strong oestrogen agonist activity.Objective and hypotheses: BPA has a strong oestrogen agonist activity. And oestrogen antagonize cellular activity of growth hormone (GH), however, the effect of ...

Health-Related Quality of Life in Children and Adolescents with Type1 Diabetes Mellitus

Alkhouli Laila , Al Remeithi Sareea , Al Jeneibi Sara

Background: HRQoL has been acknowledged as an essential health outcome measure. Studies have shown that enhancing the HRQoL and well-being of children with diabetes is as important as metabolic control in preventing secondary morbidity. Objectives: to evaluate HRQoL of children and adolescents with T1D managed at our institute and investigate factors (patient and disease-related) associated with HQoL scores.Methods: a cr...

Treatment of Children with Central Precocious Puberty (CPP) with Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone agonist (GnRHa): Evaluation of The Effectiveness of Treatment and Recovery of Gonadal Function

Mohamed Duaa , Al Remeithi Sareea , Al Jneibi Sara , Elyazori Yara

Background: GnRHa is the treatment for CPP, it arrests puberty progression, slows bone age (BA) maturation, and increases pubertal height. In the last decades, the use of GnRHa has demonstrated its favorable effects on linear growth, although the net height gain and predictors of long-term outcomes remains debated. Concerns raised on thepotential negative effects of treatment on weight and reproductive function.Methods: ...
