Dermatology clinical case
Leitão, Cátia Vilas Boas; Pereira, Isabel Ayres; Tenente, Joana; Real, Marta Vila; Oliveira, Ana; Leite, Ana Luísancontinentia pigmenti is an X-linked neuroectodermal dysplasia. It is a rare genetic disease with multiorgan involvement, and hence a multidisciplinary approach is of paramount importance. Although diagnosis is based on clinical findings, genetic molecular testing can be performed to confirm diagnosis and allow future genetic counselling. The authors describe the case of a 4-month-old girl accidentally diagnose...
Neonatal cranial bone depression
Tenente, Joana; Cardoso, Ivana; Vinhas da Silva, António; Torres, JacintoA female preterm was admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for late prematurity and very low weight. The physical examination was normal. On the third day of life, a hard left, non-painful parietal depression was noted, with no evidence of neurological impairment. Head computed tomography (CT) showed focal sinking of the left parietal bone posteriorly to the coronal suture. A watchful attitude was adopte...
