Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia (FHH) is a rare genetic autosomal dominant disorder, with 3 variants described. An inactivating mutation in the calcium sensor receptor (CASR) gene causes the subtype 1, which represents 65% of the cases. Inactivation of Ca-sensing receptors (CaSR) can also lead to hypercalcemia associated with increased parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion.[1] It is characterised by causes mild asymptomatic hypercalcemia[2] and hypocalciuria with normal or elevated PTH. FHH is generally asymptomatic and treatment is not needed. Differential diagnosis with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is crucial and based on calcium-creatinine clearance ratio (CCCR), which, when under 0.02 points to the diagnosis of FHH.[3] Genetic test is necessary for confirmation.[4]

Epidermolysis bullosa is a rare genetically determined, dermatologic disease in which minor trauma causes blister formation.1 A new variant of hereditary epidermolysis bullosa, generalized atrophic benign epidermolysis bullosa, junctional form, has been recently reported.2 Airway involvement has not been a notable feature of this disease. We report the first case of an infant having benign junctional epidermolysis bullosa with laryngeal involvement. CASE REPORT An 11-month-old white boy with known junctional epidermolysis bullosa and mild stridor since birth was referred by his dermatologist for increasing stridor of 24 hours duration. He was initially thought to have croup; however, conservative treatment with mist and racemic epinephrine did not improve his symptoms.

Background. Cutting nerve during operations like saphenous vein grafting and knee joint surgery are common surgical procedures.Objective. To report cases of dermatitis at the site of neuropathy following skin incision for saphenous vein grafting and knee joint surgery.Patients and Methods. This case report work was done in the Department of Dermatology, Baghdad Teaching Hospital, during 2009-2010, seven cases were recorded, six following saphenous vein grafting and one case after knee surgery. Five males and two females, their ages ranged from 50 to 66 (58 ± 5.033223) years. Detailed history and full clinical examination were done for each patient regarding all points related to their conditions.Results. All cases presented around 2-3 months following the operation with dermatitis at the site of operational incision. The dermatitis appeared on one side of the operational scar and at area of neuropathy, and the rash did not cross to contralateral side. The dermatitis was well-defined plaque or patch erythematous slight scaly and nonitchy and subsided within few weeks with or without topical therapy.Conclusions. Neuropathy dermatitis is apparently a new variant of dermatitis that follows nerve cut during surgery.
