Dermatology Flashcards
Battle Sign
BattlE > Behind the Ear
Ecchymosis over the mastoid bone > Signifies basal skull fracture
Also look for Raccoon sign (periorbital ecchymosis), CSF leak from ears, hemotypanum (bruising or blood around the tympanic membrane)
IF PRESENT DO NOT PLACE A NASAL TUBE
Purpura fulminans = protein C deficiency
Organisms: N meningitidis, strep pneumo, GAS, GBS; less commonly H flu, staph aureus, malaria
Treatment: Hydrocort stress dose – 50 mg/m2, then 100 mg/m2/day div TID or QID early in course of illness to prevent shock
Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP)
Erythema Marginatum (rheumatic fever)
Hypoglycemia associated with hyperinsulinemia is also seen in approximately 50% of patients with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (see Chapter 576). This syndrome is caused by an imprinting disorder (see Chapter 98.8) and characterized by omphalocele, gigantism, macroglossia, microcephaly, and visceromegaly (Fig. 111.4). Distinctive lateral earlobe fissures and facial nevus flammeus are present; hemihypertrophy occurs in many of these infants
Williams Syndrome
“Elfish” appearance

Incontinentia pigmenti
Noonan’s syndrome
CHARGE- characteristic cup shaped ear
Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome
Polyps are primarily found in the small intestine but may also be colonic or gastric; lesions can fade by puberty or adulthood. Increased risk of cancers; (GI & extraintestinal- colorectal, breast, reproductive tumors)
Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome - Melanosis on lips
Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome - Melanosis on oral mucosa
Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome - Melanosis on Fingers
Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome
histologically proven hamartomatous polyps plus 2 of 3
- family hx with AD pattern-only 50% of px have affected family member suggesting high rate of spontaneous mutation
- mucocutaneous hyperpigmentation
- small bowel polyposis)
Target sign = intussusception
G-tube granulation
G-tube skin infection
G-tube yeast infection
Erythema toxicum
- Benign, 50% of term infants
- Firm, yellow/white papules or pustules with surround erythematous flare. Can be only splotchy erythema. Spares palms and soles.
- Intralesional content = eosinophilic.
Erythema toxicum DDx
pyoderma, candida, HSV, transient neonatal pustular melanosis, miliaria
Transient Neonatal Pustular Melanosis
