Presentation
This report presents clinical and laboratory data of three patients diagnosed with SPENCD-associated SLE. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
- Short Stature
The first patient was a 10-year-old boy, who had short stature and enchondromatous-like lesions in the metaphyses of the long bones and platyspondyly on radiography. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
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]
- Anemia
We also noted that six individuals had clinical manifestations of autoimmunity (auto-immune thrombocytopenic purpura, auto-immune hemolytic anemia, auto-immune thyroiditis, and SLE) and one had been diagnosed with immune deficiency. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

He was diagnosed with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) at the age of three months. He received glucocorticoid treatment for two months and required no further treatment thereafter. The sister’s height was 113 cm (−3.29 SDS). [abstracts.eurospe.org]

The malfunctioning immune system can lead to a variety of disorders, such as a decrease in blood cell fragments called platelets (thrombocytopenia), premature destruction of red blood cells (hemolytic anemia ), an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]
- Developmental Delay
Seven individuals had CNS manifestations including spasticity, developmental delay, and late-onset cerebral calcifications. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

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]
Patients may exhibit varying degrees of neurological impairment including spasticity, developmental delay, and basal ganglia calcification. In addition, signs of autoimmune disease resembling systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are commonly observed. [genome.jp]

- 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]
Her thrombocytopenic purpura didn't resolve with the use of either prednisone or intravenous immunoglobulin, but it did after a splenectomy was performed on her. [en.wikipedia.org]

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
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]
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]
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]
Routine follow-up with conservative treatment were conducted for 12 months. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

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]
