Hashimoto Encephalopathy

Hashimoto encephalopathy is a rarely diagnosed autoimmune neurological disorder, associated with the presence of antithyroid antibodies. The variability of clinical presentation, rarity of the disease, and absence of specific diagnostic markers make timely diagnosis very complicated. This article describes a clinical case of a female patient with Hashimoto encephalopathy and discusses diagnosis, differential diagnosis and treatment approaches. We emphasize the importance of establishing a timely diagnosis, considering high efficacy of targeted treatment.

Mucoceles arising from the Blandin Nuhn glands are uncommon benign lesions of the oral cavity, which by their clinical presentation may be confused with more serious diseases such as vascular lesions, pyogenic granulomas, polyps, or squamous papillomas; thereby, it is convenient to be aware of the characteristics of this entity to guide the accurate and timely diagnosis and treatment. Herein, we present a case of a 10-year-old patient with a recurrent lesion of this type, which required surgical excision and marsupialization of the same, with no evidence of recurrence during follow-up.

The article reports on the clinical case of a patient with a diagnosis of "Stafne cyst", who was treated in the oncology department No. 8 of the Pavlov PSPbSMU. The features of differential diagnosis and diagnostic measures necessary to clarify the diagnosis are given. The situations when it is possible to avoid additional traumatic tests, as well as indications for the choice of surgical intervention or the possibility of refusing it, are analyzed. The presented data can be useful when creating algorithms for the diagnosis and treatment of a Staph cyst and making recommendations on the timing of treatment.

Lymphangioma Circumscriptum

Genital warts are common relative to other verrucous lesions of the anogenital region. Consideration of the differential diagnosis of verrucous anogenital lesions is necessary, however, to make a correct diagnosis consistently and to avoid futile, painful, and possibly traumatic attempts at treatment. In this report, I describe a child with a history suspicious for sexual abuse who was treated with inappropriate measures because of misdiagnosis of perianal lymphangioma circumscriptum as genital warts. The pathogenesis, differential diagnosis, and treatment of lymphangioma is presented. CASE REPORT A 5-year-old Hispanic boy was referred by his pediatrician to the Dermatology Service with an eruption of red papules on the left buttock and perianal region.

Dopa-responsive dystonia (DRD) is a rare progressive genetically heterogenous disorder with pediatric onset. DRD is 3 times as prevalent in women than in men. This article reports a clinical case of DRD in a young female presenting with paraparesis, foot dystonia (more pronounced in the right foot) and pronounced walking impairment, who was admitted for emergency treatment to a Neurology Unit. Based on the additional tests, which included a levodopa trial and Sanger sequencing, the patient was diagnosed with DRD. Levodopa caused a considerable improvement of the symptoms. The article describes the clinical features of the disease, talks about its differential diagnosis, genetic predisposition and treatment strategy.

Normochromic Anemia

Autoimmune thyroiditis is very rare etiology of primary hypothyroidism in infancy. Hypothyroidism has a wide range of clinical presentation, from subclinical hypothyroidism to overt type. It is unclear what pathological mechanisms connect thyroid function and erythropoiesis or how thyroid disease can contribute to anemia. We report a 12-month-old infant who presented with anemia associated with early onset of overt autoimmune thyroiditis. The peculiarity of our case enables us to draw attention of physician to consider acquired hypothyroidism in the differential diagnosis of unexplained anemia even if the neonatal screening is normal and congenital hypothyroidism is a remote possibility.
