Introduction. Primary hyperparathyroidism is an endocrine disease resulting from a primary pathology of the parathyroid gland, characterized by increased secretion of parathyroid hormone and increased blood calcium levels. Among the endocrine diseases, primary hyperparathyroidism is the third most common after diabetes mellitus and thyroid disease. In Russia, according to epidemiological studies, primary hyperparathyroidism is found in 1% of the population, women suffer 2-3 times more often than men do, and the average age of diagnosis is 54-59 years. In the absence of a timely diagnosis, primary hyperparathyroidism causes systemic damage to internal organs: renal impairment, nephrolithiasis, esophageal affection, cardiovascular and nervous system involvement, and it leads to a violation of bone tissue integrity. The aim is to demonstrate a clinical case of a patient with primary hyperparathyroidism and to analyze the stages of diagnosis of the disease and treatment. Material and methods. The review of medical literature on the problem of diagnostics and treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism was performed, as well as an analysis of the patient’s medical documentation with this pathology. Results and discussion. A variant of complicated course of primary hyperparathyroidism of bone and visceral form is considered. About 15 years passed from the moment of appearance of the first symptoms of the disease to the development of complications of renal and bone system. Despite the slow development of the disease and availability of screening methods, hyperparathyroidism was detected at the stage of complications. This article provides a detailed analysis of the primary hyperparathyroidism history, as well as analyzes the possibilities of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of this pathology. The efficacy of the therapy has been assessed, and ways of correction have been outlined. The analysis of the reasons that made it difficult to diagnose this pathology at an early stage, before the development of serious complications of internal organs, has been carried out. Conclusions: It can be assumed that the presented clinical case will increase the awareness of physicians, especially therapists, about the primary manifestations of this pathology and the peculiarities of its detection and routing the patient, which will allow avoiding many diagnostic errors.

The left displacement of the large colon, a condition that commonly occurs in horses, has two clinical manifestations. Different treatments including medical treatment, rolling the horse under general anesthesia or surgical correction have been recommended. The diagnosis can often be made by rectal examination and confirmed by percutaneous ultrasonography. During the period between 2004 and 2009, 11 horses were treated for left displacement of the large colon by rolling the horses under general anesthesia, using a slightly different technique than the ones previously described. The clinical case selection was based on rectal palpation confirmed with ultrasonogram. Nine animals were successfully treated and two had to be submitted to surgery after three attempts of rolling. No short or long term complications were observed after the procedure. Only one animal had a recurrence of the clinical manifestation 10 months after the first treatment and was successfully rolled once again. Despite a bit different from the other rolling procedures, this also proved to be an effective procedure. Rolling a horse even when attempted more than once showed to be a safe procedure, however, we reinforce the need for special attention following the procedure in order to establish proper emergency procedures in case complications occur.

Devergie disease, or pityriasis rubra pilaris, is a poorly studied and rare disease, which prevalence is estimated at about 1 in 400 thousand. The article provides relevant data on the classification of Devergie disease, features of the course and clinical manifestations of each of the 6 types of the disease, as well as the ap-proximate occurrence of these types. Erythroderma can occur in Devergie disease, but data on the incidence of this manifestation vary significantly. The article presents a clinical case of type 1 Devergie disease. This case is of particular interest, since the disease began not according to the classical scheme, i.e., with appearance of an erythematous spot, but with extensive areas of erythroderma. This case is intended to draw attention to the fact that dermatological diseases do not always develop in a typical way, and the correct diagnosis often requires a histological examination. Key words: pityriasis rubra pilaris, Devergie disease, erythroderma, clinical case. For citation: Plieva K.T., Denisova E.V., Bobrov M.A. et al. Rare dermatological diseases: Devergie disease.

Endometriosis is a chronic hormone-dependent progressive disease characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrioid tissue. Most often, endometriosis affects the ovaries, fallopian tubes and the abdominal cavity, but endometrioid foci are also found in the intestines, heart, lungs, skin and other atypical localizations. This article presents a clinical case of retrocervical endometriosis diagnosed based on the results of pathological and histological examination. It is important to note the complexity of the differential diagnosis of this form of endometriosis due to secondary changes in the area of the colon and the absence of characteristic clinical manifestations.

Introduction. The frequency of post-traumatic hydrocephalus is 3.9%. The incidence of post-traumatic defects of the skull is 10.46 per 100,000 per year. Overdrain syndrome occurs in 1012% of cases in patients with long-term ventricular shunting. The presence of a cranial defect causes a violation of blood flow and cerebrospinal fluid dynamics in the area of the defect, a displacement of brain structures under the influence of gravity and atmospheric pressure, which can cause a deterioration in the patients condition and a significant slowdown in recovery after a severe head injury. Both craniotomy syndrome and excessive shunting can impede the verticalization and rehabilitation of patients with post-traumatic hydrocephalus and post-traumatic defects of the bones of the cranial vault. Description of the clinical case. Clinical case demonstrates an example of a differential approach and an algorithm for deciding on surgical treatment in a patient with post-traumatic hydrocephalus and cranial bones defect in case of deterioration during attempts at verticalization in a complex of rehabilitation measures. Conclusion. The clinical manifestations of trephine skull syndrome and syndrome of shunt overdrain in the patient after severe traumatic brain injury combines post-traumatic hydrocephalus, may be similar. And not always, as demonstrated in this clinical case, narrowed ventricles and the relationship of deterioration to verticalization should be interpreted as a syndrome of excessive drainage of the shunt system. The plastic surgery of the defect of the bones of the cranial vault performed in this case made it possible to improve the patients condition and regress symptoms.

Chronic granulomatous disease is a primary immunodeficiency, characterized by a violation of the oxygen-dependent mechanisms of phagocytosis. Mutations in the genes encoding proteins of the NADPH-oxidase complex lead to a violation of the respiratory burst. Clinical manifestations are recurrent bacterial and fungal infections, and the development of granulomatous complications due to a defect in autophagy, accompanied by an increase in the level of interleukin-1 inthe blood. The treatment of this disease is continuous preventive antimicrobial therapy, and specific therapy for the treatment of granulomatous complications. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from an allogeneic or unrelated donor is currently considered to be only radical treatment for CGD. This article presents a clinical case of the manifestation of an X-linked form of chronic granulomatous disease with granulomatous manifestations in the absence of an infectious history. Parents patient agreed to use personal data in research and publications.

A case of lung damage in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in a 33-year-old woman is described. This case is of clinical interest due to the complexity of diagnosis due to the fact that SLE is a disease with diverse clinical manifestations involving many organs and systems, which often makes it difficult to timely recognize the onset of the disease. SLE still remains a challenge and requires special attention to the patient s history, clinical and laboratory parameters of the patient, as well as specific immunological examinations.
