Presentation
This report presents clinical and laboratory data of three patients diagnosed with SPENCD-associated SLE. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We present here two siblings born to consanguineous parents with genetically proven SPENCDI. Case presentations: 7 years 2 months old boy and his 9 yrs old sister were evaluated for short stature. [abstracts.eurospe.org]
Entire Body System
- Splenectomy
The sister’s AIHA was difficult to manage and required splenectomy. At the age of 8 years 4/12 the brother developed systemic lupus erythemasosus which was managed with steroids and immune suppressors. [abstracts.eurospe.org]
- Cushingoid
Physical examination was normal except short stature and Cushingoid appearance of the face. Both patients were prepubertal. Both patients had AIHA, short stature, metaphyseal changes and platyspondyly compatible with SPENCD. [abstracts.eurospe.org]

- Recurrent Bacterial Infection
Thus, in addition to autoimmune haemolytic anaemia, thrombocytopenia, polyarthritis, hepatitis and nephritis, the patient presented with life threatening hyperreactivity to viral infections as well as recurrent bacterial infections. [ped-rheum.biomedcentral.com]
Respiratoric
- Barrel Chest
Clinical abnormalities such as short stature, rhizomelic micromelia, increased lumbar lordosis, barrel chest, facial anomalies, and clumsy movements may be present. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Respiratory Insufficiency
At 5.5 years of age, she presented with a high fever, generalized vasculitis, encephalopathy with seizures and respiratory insufficiency due to interstitial pneumonia requiring 2 days of mechanical ventilation. [ped-rheum.biomedcentral.com]
Jaw & Teeth
- Aphthous Stomatitis
In the following months, the patients experienced recurrent infections affecting the urinary tract and upper airways as well as an episode of severe aphthous stomatitis accompanied by Quinke oedema of the face. [ped-rheum.biomedcentral.com]

- Petechiae
In addition, the girl developed recurrent petechiae of the face, erythema nodosum of the feet as well as mild sugillations of the oral mucosa despite normal platelet counts. [ped-rheum.biomedcentral.com]
Musculoskeletal
- Spine Stiffness
At the age of 17, progressive spine stiffness associated with stooping posture developed. 3DCT scanning showed pathological transformation of the spinal enchondromas into generalized ossification and thickening of the posterior vertebral elements (vertebral [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Face, Head & Neck
- Round Face
On physical examination the brother had a round face, short neck, lumber lordosis and pes planus. Height was 100 cm (−4.43 SDS) with risomelia (arm span/height ratio: 0.97). [abstracts.eurospe.org]
Neurologic
- Clumsiness
Clinical abnormalities such as short stature, rhizomelic micromelia, increased lumbar lordosis, barrel chest, facial anomalies, and clumsy movements may be present. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Neurologic Manifestation
Patients with SPENCDI and neurological manifestations including spasticity, developmental delay and cerebral calcifications have been reported. We present here two siblings born to consanguineous parents with genetically proven SPENCDI. [abstracts.eurospe.org]
Workup
Other than a low baseline IGF-1, extensive laboratory workup, including growth hormone stimulation and IGF-1 generation tests, was normal. Exome sequencing was performed. [karger.com]
Treatment
He received glucocorticoid treatment for two months and required no further treatment thereafter. The sister’s height was 113 cm (−3.29 SDS). She was diagnosed with AIHA at the age of 2.5 years and she was receiving methyl prednisolone ever since. [abstracts.eurospe.org]
You may also want to contact a university or tertiary medical center in your area, because these centers tend to see more complex cases and have the latest technology and treatments. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
Routine follow-up with conservative treatment were conducted for 12 months. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment of Congenital Pseudarthrosis of Tibia Treatment of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia is surgical. In its natural progression, the deformity and shortening worsen. [boneandspine.com]

Prognosis
The prognosis is good if the lesion is located only on the fibula, an extension to the tibia has a prognosis similar to type II, Type VI Associated with an intraosseous fibroma or a schwannoma. [boneandspine.com]
Prognosis The prognosis is dependent on the extent and severity of the disease. Cortical erosion, pathological fracture and extension of the tumor into soft tissues can be considered as a sign of malignancy. [atlasgeneticsoncology.org]

Because widely distributed enchondromas may pose fewer problems than localized ones (eg, limb shortening, asymmetry), it is difficult to assess the prognosis of Ollier disease ( Table 6 ). [healio.com]

The etiological diagnosis of SPENCD in these two patients with previously presumed idiopathic short stature has important clinical implications in terms of screening for subclinical comorbid autoimmune or neurological disease, as well as more accurate [karger.com]

Pathophysiology
A relationship with type 1 neurofibromatosis or von Recklinghausen’s disease is known but exact pathophysiology has still not been clearly defined. [boneandspine.com]
In addition to the main pathophysiologic finding of fibro-osseous bone formation, craniosynostosis has been reported in Cherubism syndrome, where a mutation in SH3BP2 causes bone degeneration in the jaws [137]. [symbiosisonlinepublishing.com]
However, the technical factors should not be changed to obscure or change the interpretation of the pathophysiologic changes. [basicmedicalkey.com]
