Cutaneous, Cranial, and Skeletal Defects in Children and Adults with Focal Dermal Hypoplasia
Background: The diagnostic process for children and adults manifesting a constellation of ectodermal abnormalities requires a conscientious and highly structured process. Material and Methods: Six girls (aged 6-month–8 years) and two older girls (aged 13 and 16 years) were born with variable skin le...

description | Background: The diagnostic process for children and adults manifesting a constellation of ectodermal abnormalities requires a conscientious and highly structured process. Material and Methods: Six girls (aged 6-month–8 years) and two older girls (aged 13 and 16 years) were born with variable skin lesions of varying intensities associated with noticeable cranial and skeletal malformation complexes. Cleft palate, abnormal dentition, and multiple papillomas were evident around the mouth, mostly bilateral but asymmetrical in the upper and lower limbs. Exaggerated frontal bossing (macrocephaly) and in some patients’ microcephaly with variable skeletal defects of the craniocervical junction and diverse forms of lower limb deformities of syndactyly, polydactyly, and split-hand/foot (ectrodactyly). Results: All patients manifested the constellation of abnormalities with variable intensities ranging between alopecia, papillomas, striated skin pigmentations split-hand/foot (ectrodactyly), and major bone defects. A 3D reconstruction CT scan was directed mainly to further scrutinize children with pseudo cleft lip, submucus cleft, and cleft palate. Interstingly, they manifested massive demineralization of the cranium associated with severely defective dentition. A spine 3D reconstruction CT scan in two girls showed marked cystic cavitation of the upper jaw associated with excessive cavitation of the mastoid, causing tremendous frailty of the mastoid bone. A 3D sagittal CT scan showed odontoid hypoplasia and C1-2 instability associated with the rudimentary atlas and the persistence of extensive synchondrosis of the cervico-thoracic spine. The overall clinical and radiological phenotypic characterizations were consistent with the diagnosis of focal dermal hypoplasia (Goltz syndrome). Two children manifested heterozygous mutations in the PORCN gene, chromosome Xp11. Conclusions: In this study, we believe it’s a good opportunity to share our novel scientific findings, which are intriguing and can be inspiring to readers, and to further aid the current scientific literature with exceptionally new unveiling results. This is the first comprehensive study of the cranio-skeletal malformation complex in children with GS. |
