RESUMO
Oro-facial-digital syndrome, specifically Mohr syndrome, is an uncommon genetic disorder characterized by predominant oro-facial anomalies and polysyndactyly. While typically associated with autosomal recessive and X-linked dominant inheritance patterns, this case presents an autosomal dominant mode of transmission. This report documents the clinical presentation of three individuals, a 12-year-old male child and two females, 10-year-old and eight-year-old, who have inherited the disorder from their ancestors. The observed features include post-axial polysyndactyly in both upper and lower limbs, with the male child exhibiting additional manifestations of strabismus and knee joint defects. Symptomatic management is pursued due to the absence of complications, with surgical interventions and subsequent cosmetic repairs planned for all three children. Post-surgical physiotherapy is scheduled as part of their comprehensive treatment plan. The prognosis for this disorder is generally favorable, with a complete recovery anticipated and no complications expected.
RESUMO
This case report is about a middle-aged female who presented with complaints of pain in the abdomen with intractable vomiting for three months, pain and weakness in bilateral lower limbs for two months, and irritability for three days. She was previously treated for lumbar disc bulge and severe narrowing of the spinal cord whose treatment also included vitamin D supplements. After taking high doses of a vitamin D supplement daily for approximately four months, it resulted in vitamin D toxicity. The sodium level of the patient was in the normal range throughout the treatment. Her magnetic resonance imaging brain revealed features of central pontine myelinolysis. The development of central pontine myelinolysis due to vitamin D toxicity, with normal sodium levels, makes this a rare case for discussion.
