ABSTRACT

Background: Skeletal dysplasia's cause significant neurological symptoms and disrupt the development of many bones and cartilages in the body. Skeletal dysplasia, although a common presentation in paediatric population, rarely presents in older age group. Case presentation: This case presents a unique incidental finding of skeletal dysplasia in a fifty-year-old male patient who presented with osteoarthritis. Eventual workup uncloaked the presence of cleidocranial dysplasia and spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia. The patient in this case had both dysplasias at the same time. Discussion: Cleidocranial dysplasia and Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia are two uncommon autosomal dominant dysplasia's that are often diagnosed in early life and can have serious consequences, including death. It is critical to diagnose a child early in life. Radiology findings from a thorough skeletal examination aid in the early detection of numerous dysplasia's, which helps improving quality of life and allowing for effective treatment. Conclusion: The novelty of our presented case lies in the rare presentation of CCD and SED occurring concurrently at an older age with accompanying collateral abnormalities usually emerging more commonly in infants. Early diagnosis is thus essential for optimal management.

ABSTRACT

Objective: This systematic review aimed at estimating the prevalence of post-acute COVID-19 symptoms in view of published literature that studied prolonged clinical manifestations after recovery from acute COVID-19 infection. Methods: Relevant databases were searched for extraction of articles. For data synthesis, based on the distribution of quantitative variables, they were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD) or median and interquartile range (IQR). Qualitative variables were presented as frequency (n) and percentages (%). Results: Twenty-one articles qualified for the final analysis. The most common persistent clinical manifestations were fatigue (54.11%), dyspnea (24.38%), alopecia (23.21%), hyperhidrosis (23.6%), insomnia (25.98%), anxiety (17.29%), and arthralgia (16.35%). In addition to these symptoms, new-onset hypertension, diabetes, neuropsychiatric disorders, and bladder incontinence were also reported. Conclusion: Clinical features of post-acute COVID-19 infection can manifest even after 60 days of initial infection. Multidisciplinary care along with regular follow-up must be provided to such patients.
