A 10 month old girl presented with a history of constipation from early life. She was found to be hypercalcaemic hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis. Her mild motor delay hypotonia were thought linked chronic hypercalcaemia, but when these features failed improve despite normocalcaemia on low calcium diet the possibility neuromuscular disease explored in more detail. subsequently have spinal muscular atrophy type 2. We suspect that hypercalcaemia observed this case reflects altered bone...

Neonatal lupus erythematosus (NLE) is an autoimmune disease caused by the transplacental passage of anti-Ro/SS-A and anti-La/SS-B. This can be less commonly seen with U1-ribonucleoprotein (U1RNP). Our patient a 7-day-old male, who first presented seizures. In addition, during electroencephalogram, he was found to have irregular heart rhythm. Looking further into history, we that mother aware she had systemic (SLE). However, not been followed up rheumatologist. The workup for NLE negative...

Abstract BackgroundAntiphospholipid syndrome (APS) in children together with familial APS is extremely rare, differs from adult APS, and has no validated diagnosis criteria. Use of classification criteria for the pediatric may result missed or delayed diagnoses as non-thrombotic clinical manifestations precede thrombotic prolonged periods.
