RESUMO
Galactosialidosis (GS) is a rare lysosomal storage disorder. We reported here, the case of a 29-day-old boy who had increased body swelling, difficulty breathing, and petechiae on the trunk since birth. The antenatal history was unremarkable. Clinical laboratory findings included coarse facies, hepatosplenomegaly, gross ascites, thrombocytopenia, nephrotic range proteinuria, and bilateral hydronephrosis. The diagnostic challenge was resolved after genetic testing, which revealed GS with a novel homozygous c.1158dupA mutation.
RESUMO
Microvillous inclusion disease is a rare disorder of infancy associated with protracted diarrhea. This malady reveals distinct ultrastructural changes. The surface enterocytes of the duodenum show vesicles lined with microvilli and the surface microvilli are poorly formed. The authors present one case of microvillous inclusion disease with a review of the literature.
