A rare case of mediastinal lymphatic venous malformations in children

Hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia is a genetic vascular disorder, having ve variants depending on underlying gene mutations and characterised by aneurysms and arterio-venous malformations. Larger AVMs present most commonly in the brain, lung, and liver. The diagnosis is mainly clinical based on the Curacao Criteria. Serious Neurological complications can occur in up to 10% of cases. Pregnancy associated hormonal changes affect the cardiovascular system manifesting in the second and third trimesters. Majority of the pregnancies are uneventful, but severe complications and even death can occur. HHT in pregnancy is considered high risk and needs management by a multidisciplinary team. Women with HHT planning pregnancy should be counselled regarding the rare but serious risks. Strict antenatal surveillance and prior awareness of the diagnosis of HHT is usually associated with good pregnancy outcomes.

Stroke is rare in children when compare to adults. The aetiology, clinical presentation and outcome of stroke also different from adult. Arterio venous malformations are a rare cause of haemorrhagic stroke in children. Clinical features and secerity depends on site of the lesion. They are prone for recurrence and management of deep seated arterio venous malformations is a difficult one even in an experienced hand. We are presenting a rare case of AVM in basal ganglion region presented with recurrent stoke.

Klippel Trenaunay Syndrome

ABSTRACT Objective: To report a rare case of inverse Kipplel-Trenaunay. Case description: A 16-year-old girl with a grayish-depressed plaque on her left thigh. Angioresonance showed a vascular malformation affecting the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Comments: Inverse Klippel-Trenaunay is a Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome variation in which there are capillary and venous malformations associated to hypotrophy or shortening of the affected limb. Modifications on the limb’s length or width result from alterations in bones, muscles, or subcutaneous tissues. It has few described cases. Further clinical and molecular studies must be performed for a proper understanding.

The Right

Lymphatic-venous malformations (LVMs) are development defects that result in abnormal connections between the lymphatic and venous systems. The authors describe a 7-weeks-old female infant who presented with a right orbital LVM extending to the ipsilateral cheek and subconjunctiva of the right eye, intracranial developmental venous anomalies in the right cerebellum, and a significant right eye intraocular retinal vascular malformation. Since orbital LVM is usually diagnosed in infancy or childhood, pediatric ophthalmologists should actively look for intraocular vascular malformations as such findings can poorly affect a patient’s vision.

Pulmonary Changes

Electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray microanalysis (EDXA) are found to be very useful tools for identification of etiologic agents in pneumoconiosis or interstitial pulmonary disorders. Pulmonary interstitial fibrosis and granulomatosis are frequently associated with occupational and environmental pollution. Numerous reports of pneumoconiosis in various occupations such as coal and gold miners are presented in the literature. However, there is no known documented case of pulmonary changes in workers in the sandpaper industry. This study reports a rare case of pulmonary granulomatosis containing deposits from abrasives of sandpaper diagnosed by using EDXA.
