Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Subcutaneous fat necrosis (SCFN) of the newborn is an uncommon dermatologic disorder characterized by firm, palpable subcutaneous nodules or plaques with or without erythema. Despite its benign course, SCFN may become complicated by extracutaneous manifestations. Hypercalcemia is considered a rare complication, but it is potentially fatal if unrecognized. During the last several years therapeutic hypothermia (TH) became an essential new therapeutic modality for severe neonatal asphyxia. We report a neonate who presented with SCFN and hypercalcemia following hypothermia therapy for hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and provide a review of the contemporary literature on the topic. We believe that this is important since the use of TH is rapidly increasing, and therefore, the possible side effects including SCFN and hypercalcemia may also become more prevalent. This prompts the need for awareness by treating physicians for this complication. |
