Nevoid hyperkeratosis of the nipple and areola is an extremely rare and benign skin disease of unknown etiology, predominantly seen in childbearing aging women, especially in the second and third decades of life. The disease is characterized by gradually growing verrucous thickening and brown pigmentation of the nipple. Here, we present a case of nevoid hyperkeratosis of the nipple and areola in a 42-year-old female patient. Although nevoid hyperkeratosis of the nipple and areola has a benign character, it is a problem for patients due to deformity and for clinicians because of its similarity to paget disease. There is no consensus on treatment; Topical agents such as keratolytics, steroids, retinoids or calcipotriol, and ablative methods such as cryotherapy, carbon dioxide laser, radiofrequency, or shaving excision are treatment options.

Limited mouth opening (LMO) is a frequent complication of systemic sclerosis (SS). Its management is complex and there are limited treatment options. We report four patients with SS and severe LMO [interincisal distance (IID) <30 mm] treated with pulsed carbon dioxide (CO2) laser. Pulsed CO2 laser treatment of the white lips was performed after all patients had signed a written informed consent in the absence of alternative treatment. Treatment was carried out under locoregional anaesthesia using a Sharplan 30C CO2 laser in the Silk Touch® resurfacing mode. One to three laser sessions were performed at intervals of 8-12 months between sessions. Assessments were performed at 3 and 12 months with measurement of the IID using a ruler, calculation of the Mouth Handicap in Systemic Sclerosis (MHISS) scale and global evaluation by the patients. Adverse events were also reported. In all four patients, an improvement in IID occurred 3 months after the first session with a mean gain of +5 mm (range: 2-7). At 12 months, a mean gain of +8.5 mm (range: 7-10) in IID was observed. The MHISS score decreased by a mean of -14 (range: 11-17). All patients showed improvement of lip flexibility or mouth opening, allowing better phonation and mastication and easier dental care. Adverse effects were transient erythema and/or dyschromia. CO2 laser appears to be effective and well tolerated in the improvement of LMO in SS.

History Of

Patients with subglottic hemangioma present with biphasic stridor during infancy. The natural history of this lesion is characterized by progressive airway obstruction during the proliferative phase of the lesion, followed by resolution of symptoms during the subsequent involutive phase. Although this is a benign neoplasm, it can be associated with a fatal outcome. Treatment options have been directed at maintaining airway patency during the proliferative phase. The senior author (G.B.H.) originally described the role of the carbon dioxide laser in management of these patients in 1980. Thirty-one patients were treated for subglottic hemangioma at The Children's Hospital, Boston, between 1980 and 1990. The 10-year experience of management of subglottic hemangioma with endoscopic vaporization using the carbon dioxide laser is reviewed to assess the efficacy of this technique.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the success and complications of various treatment options of congenital subglottic hemangioma. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTINGS: Reported cases were grouped by treatment modalities and corresponding outcome evaluated. RESULTS: From 1986 through 2002, 372 patients were reported in 28 series. Carbon dioxide laser had 88.9% success rate yet 5.5 % significant subglottic stenosis. It shortened the tracheotomy duration by 13.7 months. Corticosteroids were not that beneficial (useful in only 24.5%) with 12.9% side effects. Intralesional corticosteroids were successful in 86.4% with 5.6% complication rate. Surgical excision (as young as 2.5 months), was useful in 98% with 10% complication rate, using cartilage grafts in 34%. Other modalities were less popular. CONCLUSION: Treatment should be individualized. Guidelines are suggested. Priority is given to secure the airways. The CO2 laser is useful when used cautiously. Steroids may be beneficial. Excision is for stubborn cases.

Facial Acne

<p class="abstract">Acne vulgaris is a common skin disorder affecting 80% of people between 11-30 years of age with many experiencing some degree of scarring. Pulsed wave carbon dioxide (CO2) laser resurfacing is a recent addition in armamentarium of treatment options for acne scars. This study focuses on one of the most common type of acne complication - atrophic scars treated with pulsed wave carbon dioxide laser. To evaluate efficacy of pulsed carbon dioxide laser for treatment of mild to moderate atrophic facial acne scars. 10 subjects (6 male and 4 females, aged 22-35 years) with skin type III-V and atrophic acne scars were treated with 4 sessions of carbon dioxide non-ablative laser resurfacing on 6 weeks interval. 7 out of 10 subjects in our study perceived an excellent to good improvement with 2 patients showing fair improvement and 1 patient with no improvement. Adverse effects were limited to prolonged erythema (two patients), and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (three patient). Excellent to good clinical improvement observed in 70% of patients with acne scars. This underscore pulsed carbon dioxide laser’s effectiveness in the treatment of mild to moderate atrophic acne scars.</p>

Laser Effect

While much is known regarding the effect of lasers on the retina, little study has been done on the effect of lasers on cornea, because of the limitation of the size of the material. Using a combination of electron microscope and several newly developed cytochemical methods, the effect of laser can now be studied on eye for the purpose of correlating functional and morphological damage. The present paper illustrates such study with CO2 laser on Rhesus monkey.
