Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is an uncommon entity based on a diagnosis of exclusion. It can manifest itself mimicking various ulcerative cutaneous conditions and nonhealing wounds. With its less known etiology and presentation, there is a danger of mistreatment. Herein, we present an interesting case of pyoderma gangrenosum in a young woman, developing around the area of a lower segment Cesarean scar, but not involving the scar tissue. The PG was not associated with any underlying systemic ailments and responded well to a tapering dose of oral corticosteroids. Prompt diagnosis and initiation of therapy lead to a good response and favorable prognosis. Recognizing the atypical clinical presentations of PG is pertinent. Treatment with immunosuppressive agents and a multidisciplinary approach are recommended.

AbstractJoubert syndrome (JS) is a rare congenital, autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a distinctive brain malformation, developmental delay, ocular motor apraxia, breathing abnormalities, and high clinical and genetic heterogeneity. We are reporting three siblings with JS from consanguineous parents in Syria. Two of them had the same homozygous c.2172delA (p.Trp725Glyfs*) AHI1 mutation and the third was diagnosed prenatally with magnetic resonance imaging. This pathogenic variant is very rare and described in only a few cases in the literature. Multinational collaboration could be of benefit for the patients from undeveloped, low-income countries that have a low-quality health care system, especially for the diagnosis of rare diseases.
