Several medical conditions that interest both the brain and the spinal cord have been described throughout the history of medicine. Formerly grouped under the term Phacomatosis because lesions of the eye were frequently encountered or genodermatosis when typical skin lesions were present, these terms have been progressively discarded. Although originally reported centuries ago, they still represent a challenge for their complexity of cure. Nowadays, with the introduction of advanced genetics and the consequent opportunity of whole-genome sequencing, new single cancer susceptibility genes have been identified or better characterized; although there is evidence that the predisposition to a few specific tumor syndromes should be accounted to a group of mutations in different genes while certain syndromes appeared to be manifestations of different mutations in the same gene adding supplementary problems in their characterization and establishing the diagnosis...

Functioning pituitary adenomas and pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas are rare in the general population. Pituitary adenomas occur in the familial setting in approximately 5% of cases, whereas pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas can be hereditary in 30-40% of cases. Hereditary syndromes associated with pituitary adenomas include multiple endocrine neoplasia types 1 and 4, familial isolated pituitary adenomas, and Carney complex. Hereditary syndromes associated with pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas and genes, mutations in which predispose to their development, are more numerous...

Elsberg syndrome is a typically infectious syndrome that may cause acute or subacute bilateral lumbosacral radiculitis and sometimes lower spinal cord myelitis. Patients often present with various neurological symptoms involving the lower extremities, including numbness, weakness, and urinary disturbances such as retention. A 9-year-old girl with no significant past medical history presented with altered mental status, fever, urinary retention, and anuria and was found to have encephalomyelitis. An extensive diagnostic workup led to ruling out possible etiologies until identifying Elsberg syndrome...

Pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs), the third most common intracranial tumor, are mostly benign. However, some of them may display a more aggressive behavior, invading into the surrounding structures. While they may rarely metastasize, they may resist different treatment modalities. Several major advances in molecular biology in the past few years led to the discovery of the possible mechanisms involved in pituitary tumorigenesis with a possible therapeutic implication. The mutations in the different proteins involved in the Gsa/protein kinase A/c AMP signaling pathway are well-known and are responsible for many PitNETS, such as somatotropinomas and, in the context of syndromes, as the McCune-Albright syndrome, Carney complex, familiar isolated pituitary adenoma (FIPA), and X-linked acrogigantism (XLAG)...

Congenital melanocytic naevus (CMN) syndrome, previously termed neurocutaneous melanosis, is a rare disease caused by postzygotic mosaic mutations occurring during embryogenesis in precursors of melanocytes. The severity of neurological manifestations in CMN patients is related to central nervous system abnormalities found at magnetic resonance imaging. The association between CMN and Dandy-Walker malformation (DWM) has been described in the literature, but recent advances in imaging and genetics lead to diagnostic criteria revision...

Carney complex is rare neoplastic disorder. Intracardiac myxoma presenting the most common non-cutaneous lesions in this complex. We are reporting a 31-year-old Saudi female known case of Carney complex presented with asymptomatic biatrial myxoma that was identified on routine transthoracic echocardiogram, and was successfully excised. However, these patients need a careful surveillance in order to detect any new masses and prevent their complications.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: The prevalence and treatment of severe scoliosis and other spinal anomalies in patients with Turner's syndrome (TS) is not well reported. This is the largest case series to date regarding the treatment course and outcomes of severely scoliotic TS patients. METHODS: A retrospective chart review was performed to identify all patients with TS seen at a single center academic pediatric institution from 2007 to 2021. Of these, the presence of concomitant severe scoliosis or other spinal anomalies was determined, defined by a major coronal curve measuring 45° or greater...

Large cell calcifying Sertoli cell tumour (LCCSCT) is a type of testicular sex cord-stromal tumour that may occur sporadically or in the context of Carney complex and other genetic syndromes. A subset is clinically malignant, and the molecular mechanisms that drive such aggressive behaviour remain unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS: We analysed 21 samples from 20 patients with LCCSCT (12 non-metastasising and eight metastasising) using PRKAR1A immunohistochemistry (IHC) and next-generation sequencing. All tumours except two (cases 17 and 20, both metastasising) demonstrated loss of PRKAR1A expression...

BACKGROUND: Acute traumatic coagulopathy (ATC) has many phenotypes and varying morbidity and mortality. The MA-R ratio, calculated from the admission thromboelastogram, serves as a biomarker to identify 1 phenotype of ATC and has previously been associated with significant derangements in the inflammatory response. This study evaluates outcomes related to abnormal MA-R ratios, including inflammatory responses, in a heterogeneous patient population. STUDY DESIGN: Patients from the Pragmatic, Randomized Optimal Platelet and Plasma Ratios (PROPPR) dataset were included...

Sepsis, a heterogeneous clinical syndrome, features a systemic inflammatory response to tissue injury or infection, followed by a state of reduced immune responsiveness. Measurable alterations occur in both the innate and adaptive immune systems. Immunoparalysis, an immunosuppressed state, associates with worsened outcomes, including multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, secondary infections, and increased mortality. Multiple immune markers to identify sepsis immunoparalysis have been proposed, and some might offer clinical utility...

We describe a mosaic PRKACA duplication in a young infant who presented with a Carney-like complex: bilateral non-pigmented micronodular adrenal hyperplasia, severe early-onset Cushing's syndrome, and distinct acral soft tissue overgrowth due to cutaneous mucinosis. This represents a novel manifestation of PRKACA disruption and broadens the extra-adrenal phenotype of PRKACA-associated Cushing's syndrome. Our data suggest that Cushing's syndrome phenotypes arising from somatic and germline PRKACA abnormalities can exist on a spectrum...
