Macrodystrophia lipomatosa is a rare, non-hereditary form of congenital local gigantism characterised by enlargement and hypertrophy of all mesenchymal tissue components with a disproportionate increase in adipose tissue. This form of macrodactyly has been reported in association with other anomalies including polydactyly, brachydactyly, syndactyly, and symphalangism. We describe a previously unreported case of bilateral upper extremity macrodystrophia lipomatosa with syndactyly in a 23-month-old boy. In this report, we emphasise the importance of establishing a diagnosis with imaging and review the described surgical approaches to treating this difficult condition.

ObjectivesThis study presents a case report and literature review of acetazolamide use in the pregnant patient to further delineate its role and controversies in the treatment of symptomatic hydrocephalus. Here we present a case from our neurosurgical service which demonstrated safe use and efficacy of acetazolamide in refractory hydrocephalus secondary to a space-occupying lesion.DesignCase report and literature review.Subjects33-year-old, primigravid female treated at Charing Cross Hospital, London.MethodsAdaptation of the PRISMA guideline to facilitate an initial PubMed database search for all available full-text, peer-reviewed publications in English. Papers were screened for relevance to pregnant patients with hydrocephalus receiving acetazolamide therapy, as well as relevant papers describing related disorders of cerebrospinal fluid flow.ResultsThere exist no prospective, randomised-controlled trials for the use of acetazolamide to treat hydrocephalus in pregnancy. Retrospective data in patients with related conditions suggest no significant link between acetazolamide use and teratogenicity in humans.ConclusionsAcetazolamide can be a safe and efficacious therapy in the pregnant patient with refractory hydrocephalus as a bridge to delivery. We agree with the consensus and its appropriate use in the pregnant neurosurgical patient.
