Presentation
Breast cancer most often presents as a palpable mass or with an abnormal mammogram. Much less commonly, breast cancer may present as a paraneoplastic syndrome. [mayoclinic.pure.elsevier.com]
[…] and two patients (25%) presented with spinal cord disorder. [ejnpn.springeropen.com]
We present a 60-year-old man presenting with unilateral vocal cord palsy due to an unusual central cause, being part of lateral medullary syndrome. We reviewed the neuroanatomy and clinical aspects of this condition. [PDF]* [ijmbs.org]
If an underlying skull defect, is present then a bone graft may be necessary. [dermatologyadvisor.com]

The condition can result in episodic hyperthermia. In some cases, mild microcephaly may develop. The disorder has an onset at birth. So far, only 3 affected families have been identified, all originating from Saudi Arabia. [cags.org.ae]

Treatment
Treatment of DM simultaneous with treatment of the breast cancer led to regression of DM. The diagnosis of DM in an adult should raise suspicion of an underlying malignancy. [mayoclinic.pure.elsevier.com]
Aside from treatment, one team member mentioned that it is important to look at things before treatment like trauma mental health issues in order to try to prevent substance abuse. [newhampshirelakesandmountains.com]
Treatment The index patient was started on GH at a dose of 0.045 mg/kg per day. Outcome and follow-up At the start of GH treatment at 7 years of age, the index patient's height was 94 cm (−5.3 SDS). [edmcasereports.com]

Prognosis
Due to the limited number of reported cases, information on the condition’s prognosis or prevalence is yet to be ascertained. The condition is diagnosed based on genetic analysis of the Component of Oligomeric Golgi Complex 6 (COG6) gene. [cags.org.ae]
(Outcomes/Resolutions) The prognosis of Donnai-Barrow Syndrome is determined by the type and severity of the signs and symptoms. [dovemed.com]
The aim of this study was to identify panels of disease-specific /disease-associated proteins biomarkers to be used for more objective diagnosis and better prediction of disease prognosis of patients presenting with features of bone marrow failure syndromes [bloodjournal.org]
In general, the prognosis is reported to be good, with improvement in laboratory results over 48-72 hours after delivery [8]. We are reporting here seven cases that fulfilled the criteria of HELLP syndrome. [sjkdt.org]
In contrast, cases of HES with myeloproliferative features, particularly those with FIP1 L1/PDGFRA mutation, should be treated aggressively, as they carry worse prognosis without treatment. [najms.org]

Pathophysiology
Second, we acknowledge our imperfect understanding of the pathophysiology of ACS. [onlinejets.org]
