Topical corticosteroids are currently recommended only for short-term management of flares of lichen sclerosus, with efficacy in halting disease progression. Given the chronic nature of this condition, there is a lack of literature surrounding the chronic effects of topical corticosteroids on the male genitalia with many dermatologists avoiding prescribing long term. This case report aims to provide anecdotal observation for the long-term use of topical corticosteroids and details the long-term follow-up of an individual who used potent and superpotent topical corticosteroids for over 25 years without significant demonstrable side effects. A short review on relevant literature is provided.

Purpose To examine changes in visual acuity (VA) and refraction in non-glaucomatous patients with unilateral exfoliation syndrome (EXS). Methods The best corrected values for VA (Snellen acuity cards) subjectively adjusted for refraction, and IOP were measured, and the development of lens opacities was examined in 46 non-glaucomatous patients with unilateral EXS. Results After five years the rate of conversion to bilateral exfoliation was 22% and to exfoliative glaucoma 30%. There was a significant decrease in VA in the exfoliative (E) eyes (median; QI, QIII, range: 1; 0.8, 1, 0.4-1.3 vs. 0.55; 0.4, 1, 0.05-1.4, p<0.0001) and the fellow, initially non-exfoliative (NE), eyes (1; 0.9, 1, 0.3–1.3 vs. 0.7; 0.5, 0.9, 0.1–1.4, p<0.0001) and a significant myopic change in refraction in the E eyes (+1.02 ± 2.48 vs. +0.11 ± 3.06, p=0.0001) and the NE eyes (+0.99 ± 2.25 vs. +0.43 ± 2.55 D, p<0.01). At study entry the difference in refraction between the fellow eyes (refraction in the NE eye – refraction in the E eye) was −0.27 ± 1.00D. After five years it was +0.32 ± 1.44 (p 0.016), reflecting greater myopic changes in the E eyes. The main type of lens opacification was nuclear sclerosis. Conclusions In five years, significant decreases in VA and myopic shifts in refraction occurred in the E and fellow eyes. The E eyes showed significantly greater myopic changes than the fellow eyes; the cause was clearly nuclear sclerosis, which must be taken into account in the long-term management of patients with EXS.

SummaryStenoses of the systemic venous pathways are a potentially dangerous complication after the Mustard operation. The acute and intermediate-term efficacy of balloon dilation of these stenoses has not previously been studied in a large group of patients. A retrospective analysis of clinical and angiographic data, with prospective clinical and echocardiographic follow-up, was performed in a consecutive group of 25 patients (17 male, 8 female) who underwent balloon dilation of the superior or inferior caval venous pathways. For 17 dilations of stenoses in the superior pathway, the mean pressure gradient decreased from 9.1±5.7 to 3.4±2.3 mm Hg (p<0.01), while the diameter of the stenosis increased from 5.9±2.9 to 11.2±3.0 mm (p<0.01). For 25 dilations of the inferior pathway, the mean gradient decreased from 4.3±1.8 to 1.4±1.1 mm Hg (p<0.01), while the diameter of the stenosis increased from 7.3±1.5 to 10.6±2.3 mm (p<0.01). Over a median follow-up of 3.5 years, 16 patients have been without symptoms or signs suggestive of recurrence of stenoses. In the remaining nine patients, 11 further procedures were performed at a median of 3.1 years after initial dilation. In five patients who had previously undergone dilation of the superior (3), inferior (1) or both (1) pathways, further dilations of the same pathway(s) and/or stent implantations were performed. Three patients, including one in whom superior caval venous stenosis had recurred, had developed a new stenosis of a previously undilated pathway, while in two patients no further dilations were required. Balloon dilation offers an alternative to reoperation for stenoses of the systemic venous pathways after the Mustard operation, and appears to provide satisfactory intermediate-term palliation. Recurrences of stenoses in previously dilated pathways, and new stenoses in previously unobstructed pathways, are commonly seen at follow-up. Alternative measures, such as placement of stents, need to be considered in the long-term management of these patients.

Eight cases of hypoparathynoidism in patients less than 17 years of age have been presented and discussed. One case was primary in type and seven were secondary to thyroidectomies performed for thyrotoxicosis or carcinoma of the thyroid gland. The similarity of symptomatology, time of onset, treatment and long-term management between cases of hypoparathyroidism in the younger age group and in adults has been emphasized. Prophylaxis against the development of hypoparathyroidism following thyroid surgeny is the responsibility of the surgeon. When present, the disorder must be recognized early and treated promptly with adequate dosages of appropriate drugs. Conscientious long-term clinical and laboratory follow-up examinations are necessary to avoid the serious complications of chronic hypocalcemia. Tests to quantitate more accurately degrees of parathyroid function are needed in secondary hypopanathyroidsm which is thought to be temporary in nature. Children and adolescents with hypopanathyroidism deserve special care in diagnosis, treatment and long-term management.

AbstractNicolaides–Baraitser's syndrome is a rare, dominantly inherited well-delineated syndrome caused by mutations in the SMARCA2 gene which is located on the small arm of chromosome 9. In this study, a de novo missense variant, which was identified in a 3-year-old boy by whole exome sequencing is reported. The de novo heterozygous V1198M missense variant in SMARCA2 gene in exon 25 is novel. Identifying the condition is crucial for the long-term management and family counseling. Follow-up over 4 years revealed improvements in overall performance.
