Patients Experience

Gayet-Wernicke encephalopathy is an acute neuropsychiatric condition caused by thiamine deficiency. Only a small percentage of patients experience all three symptoms, with ophtalmoplegia, ataxia and confusion, and the full triad occurs more frequently among those who have overused alcohol. The evolution is toward full recovery, Korsakoff syndrome, dementia or death. We present the case of a 56-year-old patient, known with a diagnostic of alcoholism, who was admitted for a complicated withdrawal syndrome with delirium and who developed encephalopathy and dementia syndrome.

Abstract Background We reported the case of a two-old-year boy with a painful acute hemorrhagic edema. This is a self-limited benign condition: usually, affected children are well appearing and this strongly support the diagnosis. In the opposite, in our case, we observed a painful presentation of the edema. Therefore, we demonstrated that rarely, this condition could have also a painful presentation. Conclusions This case report helps clinician to know that also acute hemorrhagic edema could have a painful presentation, so we must considered it in the differential diagnosis with sepsis, sickle cell crisis and child abuse. We believe that these findings will be of interest to pediatricians.

Poisoning In Children

Four cases of lead neuropathy in children with hemoglobin S-S or S-C disease are reported. Neuropathy is a rare manifestation of lead poisoning in children, and only ten other cases have been well documented in the pediatric literature. The last previous case report of lead neuropathy was also in a child with hemoglobin S-S disease. The neuropathy seen in the children with sickle cell disease was clinically similar to that seen in the previously reported cases in nonsicklers, but differed in both groups from that usually seen in adult cases. It is, therefore, postulated that children with sickle cell disease have an increased risk of developing neuropathy with exposure to lead. The exact mechanism for this association remains unknown, but in children with sickle cell disease presenting with symptoms or signs of peripheral weakness, the possibility of lead poisoning must be considered.
