Adenovirus infection with serious pulmonary sequelae in Korean children

Introduction:  Varying clinical progress and long‐term pulmonary sequelae have been associated with different adenoviral serotypes.

Seminoma in undescended testis

A testicular carcinoma in intraabdominal undescended testis can mimic other mesenteric or retroperitoneal mass. The identification of pampiniform plexus draining the mass can play an important role in diagnosis of testicular carcinoma in undescended testis. We report a case of seminoma in intraabdominal undescended testis, draining into pampiniform plexus and thrombus within it.

A 6-Month-Old Girl with Incontinentia Pigmenti Presenting as Status Epilepticus

Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is an uncommon neurocutaneous syndrome. Its initial diagnosis is based primarily on characteristic papulovesicular skin lesions and early-onset neonatal seizures. In contrast to typical early neurologic manifestations, we encountered a normally developed 6-month-old female patient with hyperpigmented whorls on her body. Following respiratory syncytial virus infection and fever, the patient exhibited status epilepticus. Brain magnetic resonance imaging studies of the patient were compatible with the findings of acute encephalopathy in IP. Genetic analysis showed an 11.7 kb deletion within the gene encoding inhibitor of kappa-B kinase gamma. The patient was treated with anticonvulsants and subsequently reached expected developmental milestones after discharge. These findings indicate that when a patient presents with status epilepticus, meticulous examination for skin lesions should be performed to determine whether the patient has a neurocutaneous syndrome, such as IP.
