Purpose : Rett syndrome(RTT) is an X-linked dominant neurodevelopmental disorder affecting 1
per 10,000-15,000 female births worldwide. It was initially described by Andreas Rett in 1966.
RTT involves developmental regression characterized stereotypic hand movements, tremors, gait
apraxia, seizures, deceleration of head growth after the age of 6-18 months. The disease-causing
gene was identified as MECP2 on chromosome Xq28. We carried out mutational analysis of
MECP2... |

Weber-Christian disease is a relapsing febrile nodular nonsuppurative inflammation of the subcuta-
neous fat tissue. We experianced a case of Weber-Christian disease. The patient was a 10-year-old girl
with the complaints of fever, malaise and erythematous painful nodules on extremities, trunk and
back. The diagnosis was based on the clinical pictures and the histologic findings. Oral prednisolone
therapy was tried and the response occurred... |
