Atherosclerosis I: Introduction01:30

Atherosclerosis I: Introduction

Atherosclerosis is a progressive disorder characterized by the buildup of plaques on the arterial inner wall, causing them to narrow and harden over time. These plaques comprise lipids, calcium, blood components, carbohydrates, and fibrous tissue. The process primarily affects the intima of large and medium-sized arteries, reducing blood flow in any artery.Etiology and risk factorsThe cause of atherosclerosis is multifactorial, involving a complex interplay among endothelial injury, lipid...
Membrane Asymmetry Regulating Transporters01:19

Membrane Asymmetry Regulating Transporters

Enzymes like flippase, floppase, and scramblase transfer phospholipids from one layer to another in the membrane, thereby affecting membrane asymmetry.
Flippase
Eukaryotic flippases are type-IV P-type ATPases or P4-ATPases belonging to P-type ATPase family proteins that are membrane-bound pumps involved in the ATP-mediated transport of ions and molecules across the membrane. Flippases flip specific phospholipids from the outer to the inner leaflet of a membrane. All P4-ATPases have one...
Cytoskeletal Linker Proteins - Plakins01:09

Cytoskeletal Linker Proteins - Plakins

Plakins are large proteins with binding domains for microtubules, microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and membrane-associated protein complexes at cell junctions. Plakin functions are evolutionarily conserved and are primarily involved in organizing the different components of the cytoskeleton by crosslinking them to each other and connecting them to the cell-matrix and cell adhesion complexes. They are also known to interact with signal transducers, serve as scaffolds for signaling...
Peripheral Artery Disease I: Introduction01:30

Peripheral Artery Disease I: Introduction

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) predominantly results from atherosclerosis, which involves the accumulation of fatty deposits, or plaques, within the walls of arteries. This causes them to narrow and harden, significantly reducing blood flow. PAD predominantly affects the legs, particularly the arteries supplying the thighs and calves. In rare cases, it may involve other arteries, including those in the arms.Etiology of PAD:The principal cause of PAD is atherosclerosis, which results from fatty...

Summary

Disabling pansclerotic morphoea, a rare childhood condition, can affect deeper tissues and progress relentlessly. This case highlights a rare combination of pansclerotic and plaque morphoea in a child, leading to limb shortening and disability.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Rheumatology
  • Dermatology
  • Clinical Case Studies

Background:

  • Morphoea is a fibrosing condition of the skin and subcutaneous tissue.
  • Pansclerotic morphoea is a severe subtype characterized by widespread, deep involvement and relentless progression.
  • The co-occurrence of pansclerotic and plaque morphoea is exceptionally rare.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a rare case of childhood morphoea with a unique clinical presentation.
  • To describe the diagnostic and clinical challenges associated with combined morphoea subtypes.
  • To emphasize the potential for severe functional impairment.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical case presentation of a 9-year-old girl.
  • Detailed description of morphoea presentation on limbs (pansclerotic) and abdomen (plaque).
  • Assessment of functional disability and limb shortening.

Main Results:

  • The patient presented with a rare combination of pansclerotic morphoea on the limbs and plaque morphoea on the abdomen.
  • The pansclerotic form led to significant shortening and functional disability of the affected limbs.
  • This combined presentation underscores the variable and potentially severe nature of childhood morphoea.

Conclusions:

  • Disabling pansclerotic morphoea requires vigilant monitoring due to its progressive and destructive potential.
  • Combined morphoea subtypes can lead to severe musculoskeletal complications.
  • Early recognition and management are crucial for optimizing outcomes in pediatric morphoea cases.
