RESUMO
Bachmann-Bupp syndrome (OMIM #619075) is a novel autosomal dominant disorder caused by variants in the c-terminus of the ornithine decarboxylase 1 gene, resulting in increased levels of ornithine decarboxylase. This case report includes two patients diagnosed with Bachmann-Bupp syndrome who were treated with difluoromethylornithine through compassionate use approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration. In both patients, treatment with difluoromethylornithine has resulted in improved dermatologic signs, including regrowth of eyebrow and scalp hair and cessation of recurrent follicular cyst development.
