RESUMO
Neurogenic stunned myocardium is described as sudden and reversible cardiac dysfunction induced by an acute neurological event. This phenomenon has not been thoroughly investigated in infants, and is probably underdiagnosed. Here, we report the cases of two infants with neurogenic stunned myocardium in whom the clinical suspicion was relevant, with a brief discussion of this condition.
RESUMO
La incontinencia pigmenti es un trastorno neurocutàneo raro, con una frecuencia de 1 en 40 000 recién nacidos, de etiología genética asociada a mutaciones en el gen IKBKG, localizado en Xq28, con herencia dominante ligada al X. Tiene una presentación clínica de manifestaciones muy variables detectadas desde la etapa neonatal y puede asociar afectación cutànea, dental, ocular y neurológica, y cada una de estas con un diagnóstico diferencial distinto. Se presenta a una paciente pediàtrica con diagnóstico de incontinencia pigmenti a la semana de vida. En la evaluación oftalmológica inicial, se observaron lesiones vasculares retinianas. Se decidió el tratamiento con làser, con buenos resultados, y se consiguió estabilizar la visión.
Incontinentia pigmenti is a rare neurocutaneous disorder with a frequency of 1 in 40,000 newborn; it is associated with mutations in IKBKG gene in Xq28, inherited as an X-linked dominant trait. Clinical manifestations detected since the newborn period are highly variable, with skin, teeth, eyes, and nervous system manifestations, and each with a characteristic differential diagnosis. We present a pediatric patient diagnosed with incontinentia pigmenti at the first week of life. In the initial ophthalmologic evaluation, retinal vascular lesions were observed. The outcomes of laser treatment of the ischemic peripheral retina were good and resulted in stability of vision.
