There is hyperpigmentation present irregularly which is the increased color of the skin which is probably present as patches of hyper-colored skin. Along with this fine hair is seen to be present on the skin in almost all the cases of Acrogeria. [epainassist.com]

Since the glycosaminoglycans and hydroxyproline excreted in the urine were not increased, we speculate that a localized rather than a systemic abnormality may be present in acrogeria. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Acrogeria was originally described by Gottron in 1941, when he noticed premature cutaneous aging localized on the hands and feet in two brothers, which were present ever since birth. [en.wikipedia.org]

Diagnosis of Acrogeria Since there are no molecular workups that can aid in the diagnoses of Acrogeria, it’s mainly and exclusively just a clinical diagnosis- a proper history including family history and clinical examination. [epainassist.com]

The complications of Acrogeria, Gottron type may include: Severe skin abnormalities Difficulty in walking Decreased quality of life Complications may occur with or without treatment, and in some cases, due to treatment also. [dovemed.com]

What are the treatments for Acrogeria- Gottron Type? Since Acrogeria- Gottron Type is a genetic condition, there is no cure. Treatment is based on the type and severity of each patient and is very individualized. [patientworthy.com]

Treatment of Acrogeria As of now, there is no known treatment for Acrogeria. However, this isn’t a major problem considering that Acrogeria has an excellent prognosis. [epainassist.com]

Treatment[edit] There is currently no specific treatment available for either of these so-called progeroid syndromes. [theinfolist.com]

Prognosis is a term used to explain the positive progress of a disease- such as how a disease responds to the treatment used. [epainassist.com]

Prognosis of these patients is good as they have no tendency to develop atheroma or diabetes mellitus. We report a case 11 year old female child of acrogeria for its rarity. Crossref - DOI Crossref - DOI Prefix: 10.18535/jmscr [jmscr.igmpublication.org]

With this in mind, what is most important when making a differential diagnosis with them is based on the prognosis, which appears to be far better in acrogeria. [diki.pl]

The etiology of acrogeria is still not well determined. With this in mind, what is most important when making a differential diagnosis with them is based on the prognosis, which appears to be far better in acrogeria. [diki.pl]

How can Acrogeria, Gottron type be Prevented? Currently, Acrogeria, Gottron type may not be preventable, since it is a genetic disorder. [dovemed.com]

Preventing Acrogeria While there are no known ways to prevent the occurrence of this very rare disease, genetic counseling can be seen to help prevent voluntary transmissions of the disease to the future generations. [epainassist.com]
