Revista de la Facultad de Medicina Humana
The fibular aplasia, tibial campomelia, oligosyndactyly (FATCO) syndrome is characterized by the variable leg anomalies. The genetic etiology of this disease has not been determined to date; however, it has been suggested that the genetic inheritance is autosomal dominant. The frequency of presentation globally is infrequent and this is the main reason for the low number of patient reports. There’s a report of the unusually high presentation of 14 Peruvian patients diagnosed at a single center with the clinical features of FATCO syndrome over a 13-year period. We compare and discuss the clinical and radiological data of our patients with …

Revista de la Facultad de Medicina Humana
Neonatal gastric perforation is a rare but potentially fatal pathology; its recurrence is even more infrequent, and there are few reports in the international literature. We present the case of a premature newborn (32 weeks) and low birth weight (1725g) who, on the first day of life, presented a surgically corrected gastric perforation and on the fourth postoperative day was re-operated with a presumed diagnosis of gastric raffia dehiscence, finding a new gastric perforation, which was surgically repaired. On both occasions, the surgical intervention was early. The subsequent evolution and outcome were favorable.

Inflammatory transverse myelitis is a rare condition that affects one or more levels of the spinal cord. Its etiology includes multiple sclerosis, infectious causes, or disorders within the spectrum of neuromyelitis optica. It presents acutely with motor, sensory, and/or dysautonomic symptoms, such as those related to the gastrointestinal and urinary systems. Diagnosis is based on symptomatology, evolution, and is confirmed by lumbar puncture, magnetic resonance imaging, and complete blood analysis. We present a clinical case of a patient with transverse myelitis who presented with gastrointestinal symptoms, motor symptoms, and was diagnosed with magnetic resonance imaging.
