Goldenhar syndrome is a rare congenital disease, affecting many organs including the craniofacial region. Its etiology still remains uncertain. We describe a case of Goldenhar syndrome in a 12-month-old infant with craniofacial involvement.This anatomical-clinical entity gives rise to a good clinical examination and a good analysis of the literature in order to make the diagnosis and to plan a treatment in the event of systemic involvement.
Piringer Kuchinka lymphadenitis or toxoplasmic lymphadenitis is diagnosed histologically and confirmed by serological tests. Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic infection caused by an opportunistic protozoan: Toxoplasma gondii, often asymptomatic in the immunocompetent subject, without recourse to specific treatment. We report a case of Piringer Kuchinka adenitis revealing active toxoplasmosis in an immunocompetent child.
Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD), or sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SHML), is a rare idiopathic disorder with unknown etiology. The présentation of RDD is painless bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy. Extranodale RDD without nodale involvement is very rare. Isolated form to the bone occurs in only 2% of patients. We report a rare case of RDD revealed by left radius involvement in an infant aged 21 months with lung involvement in the assessment of extension, treated with chemotherapy with good outcome. Bone involvement is rare, hence the interest in knowing the different etiological diagnoses in order to make the rapid diagnosis and start the appropriate treatment.
Introduction: Central retinal artery occlusion is a pathology of the elderly, rarely in childhood, requiring an exhaustive etiological assessment in order to indicate a treatment to preserve the functional prognosis of the eye.
Observation: We report the case of a central retinal artery occlusion in a 4 year old boy, who had no pathological history, discovred at a sudden loss of vision in the right eye aggravated to the blindness. The ophthalmological examination revealed the central retinal artery occlusion. The etiological assessment showed a hypoplasia of the right internal carotid artery associated with agenesis of the ophthalmic artery and the posterior communicating artery.
Conclusion: the etiology of the occlusion of the central retinal artery occlusion is very variable, the treatment and the prognosis depend on the etiology.
