Neural Regulation

Neural Regulation

Digestion begins with a cephalic phase that prepares the digestive system to receive food. When our brain processes visual or olfactory information about food, it triggers impulses in the cranial nerves innervating the salivary glands and stomach to prepare for food.

Area of Science:

Dermatology
Neurology

Background:

En coup de sabre (ECDS) is a rare variant of localized scleroderma.
It characteristically presents as a fibrous, band-like plaque on the frontoparietal scalp, leading to scarring alopecia.
ECDS often occurs in children and women, frequently accompanied by central nervous system involvement.

Observation:

This case report describes an elderly woman with an asymptomatic alopecic plaque.
The clinical presentation was consistent with En coup de sabre (ECDS).

Findings:

The case expands the known demographic for ECDS, presenting in an elderly patient.
It underscores the importance of differentiating ECDS from Parry-Romberg syndrome due to overlapping features.

Implications:

This case highlights the need for broader consideration of ECDS across age groups.
It may prompt further research into the pathogenesis and treatment of ECDS in diverse populations.
