RESUMO
Isotretinoin is the most effective treatment for severe acne, but there are several adverse effects associated with its use, some of them very exceptional (<1/10000). We report one case of hypoacusia and tinnitus in a 15-year-old boy treated with isotretinoin during 6 weeks, who quickly improved after isotretinoin withdrawal. Also, we comment other publications about hearing alterations in patients treated with isotretinoin and other retinoids.
RESUMO
Pancreatic panniculitis is an uncommon complication of pancreatic disease, which is characterized by liquefactive necrosis of the subcutaneous fat and may constitute the first evidence of a pancreatic illness. Herein, we report a case where cutaneous lesions of pancreatic disease were recognized prior to detection of an acute episode of a known chronic pancreatitis.
