Osteogenesis Imperfecta: An Uncommon Association with Non-Communicating Hydrocephalus

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a generalised disorder of connective tissue presenting with fragile bones, blue sclera and early deafness. Hydrocephalus is usually associated with type 2 OI. Here we present a rare case of noncommunicating hydrocephalus and patent foramen ovale in type 3 OI. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jnps.v33i1.6692 J Nepal Paediatr Soc. 2013;33(1):63-65

Work Up

Background. Splenic infarction is a rare clinical condition. It is generally attributed to hematologic, vascular, cardioembolic, and infectious diseases or trauma. Case Presentation. We describe a rare case in an otherwise asymptomatic 41-year-old overweight woman with acute abdominal pain. Imaging work-up revealed splenic infarction. Common etiologies were excluded. A transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) revealed a patent foramen ovale (PFO). The patient was sent to closure with good outcome. Conclusion. Paradoxical embolism due to PFO can be a cause of splenic infarction, and its investigation and subsequent closure may be considered when there are no other causative disorders.

Type 3

According to the architecture of the walls, blood vessels of Nereis can be classified into three groups: I) interstitial type; 2) mesothelial type; 3) epidermal or respiratory type.Interstitial type: It is represented by the intestinal vessels which are located in the interstitial connective tissue of the gut wall between the intestinal epithelium and the muscular strata which are assumed to be derived from the mesothelium. The walls of these vessels are made of a fibrillar, collagenous, connective tissue which directly limits the contour and extension of the vascular lumen. There is no true endothelium but amoebocytes can be found scattered against the wall. On the coeliac side of the vessels, this tissue is limited by the basal lamina which is backed by the muscular strata and the mesothelial cell layer, while it is limited, on the other side, by the basal lamina of the intestinal epithelium.
