Résumé
Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is an X-linked dominant disease affecting the skin, teeth, eyes and central nervous system caused by mutations in the IKBKG gene. 95% of patients are female. Skin rash is the prominent manifestation and main diagnostic basis of IP, while external skin damagesare often the factors affecting the prognosis of IP. The diagnostic criteria for IP have been updated in recent years, and Sanger sequencing remains the gold standard for the detection and analysis of IKBKG mutations. IP patients should be fully evaluated, and active treatment should be given if eye retinopathy and nervous system damage are found.
Résumé
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the indications, methods and experience of absorbable rib-connecting-pins fixation in the treatment of multiple rib fractures.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>52 cases with multiple rib fractures were performed internal fixation with absorbable rib-connecting-pins under epidural anesthesia.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>All cases were followed up for 1 to 12 months, with an average of 5 months. All fractures were achieved healing in 3 to 6 months after the operation and were not found chest wall deformity.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Absorbable rib-connecting-pins fixation is a simple and effective method and worthies recommending to perform operation for the appropriate cases with multiple rib fractures.</p>
