Trigeminal trophic syndrome: A case report of an underdiagnosed cause of facial chronic ulcer
Introduction: Trigeminal trophic syndrome is a rare cause of crescentic chronic facial ulcer, first described by Wallenberg in 1901, and later by Loveman, in 1933. It consists of a triad of anesthesia, paresthesia and facial ulceration, after a central or peripheral injury to trigeminal system. We here present a case of facial ulcer after episodes of stroke.

Sneddon ’s syndrome—A diagnostic and therapeutic challenge
A 49-year-old female presented with a four-hour history of ataxia and left-sided hemidysesthesia. A generalized, irregular, violaceous, net-like skin pattern was noted. The young patient had suffered five strokes over the last six years. In the past, despite extensive workup, no diagnosis had been made. Antinuclear and anti-phospholipid antibodies were negative, and no evidence of thrombophilia was found. Magnetic resonance imaging showed acute dot-like diffusion anomalies in the medial and posterior cerebral artery-supplied areas as well as old stroke residues.

Adult-onset blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome (BRBNS) associated with fatal stroke: Rare but important
Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome (BRBNS) is a rare disorder characterized by vascular malformations on the skin and visceral organs. First described in 1860, there are only around 200 case reports in the literature. A typical cutaneous lesion is nipplelike and bluish that easily compresses and refills slowly. Extracutaneous lesions most frequently affect the gastrointestinal (GI) system, causing bleeding and chronic anemia. Besides the GI systems, it has also been shown to affect multiple organs, including the central nervous system (CNS).

Metabolic syndrome in Egyptian patients with vitiligo: a case–control study
Conclusion: Vitiligo patients showed a better lipid profile, with higher levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and lower TGs and WC values. In patients with vitiligo, increased insulin levels and insulin resistance may be related to other mechanisms than obesity, such as production of cytokines or autoimmune reaction to melanocytes. Further large-scale studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Diagnostic workup and therapy of acute venous diseases.
Authors: Silber T, Schweinzer K, Strölin A Abstract Acute venous diseases, especially deep leg and pelvic vein thrombosis, present an angiological emergency and can lead to acute life-threatening events such as pulmonary embolism. Long-term consequences may be postthrombotic syndromes. In addition to stroke and myocardial infarction, deep leg and pelvic vein thrombosis are one of the most common cardiovascular diseases. Early diagnosis and rapid initiation of therapy are important. PMID: 28593338 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Herpes zoster ophthalmicus with associated vasculopathy causing stroke. Antia, Camila; Persad, Leah; Alikhan, Ali
Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is an exclusively human, double-stranded DNA virus. Primary infection causes varicella (chickenpox); later the virus becomes dormant in the dorsal root, cranial nerve, and autonomic ganglia along the entire span of the nervous system, retaining the capacity to reactivate and cause a variety of dermal and neurological complications. Recently there has been increasing recognition, both clinically and epidemiologically, of the relationship between VZV and subsequent strokes. Herein, we describe a case of a previously healthy individual with reactivation of VZV causing herpes zoster opthtalmicus al...

Juvenile melanomas: Western Australian Melanoma Advisory Service experience
ConclusionsJuvenile melanoma remains a rarity in Western Australia despite a very high incidence of adult melanoma. Unlike in adults, no definitive risk factors have been established. A significant proportion of this cohort had a pre‐existing naevus and while most melanomas occurred in sun‐exposed areas in light‐skinned individuals the association between sunburn and melanoma was not strong.

Outcomes of long term treatments of type I hereditary angioedema in a Turkish family
Conclusion: Patients with C1-INH hereditary angioedema may be misdiagnosed as having familial Mediterranean fever in regions where the disorder is endemic. Medical history, suspicion of hereditary angioedema and laboratory evaluations of patients and their family members lead the correct diagnoses of hereditary angioedema. Danazol and C1 replacement treatments provide significant reduction in hereditary angioedema attacks.
