Article Abstract
Primary autosomal recessive hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (PHOAR) type 1 is caused by the failure of the gene product to break down prostaglandins. We report the case of a two-year-old male patient diagnosed with PHOAR1 due to a previously unreported homozygous intragenic deletion. Upon retrospective review of the patient's history, his clinical course proved to be typical of this syndrome, although it had been unrecognized. This case report presents an opportunity to review the natural history, clinical signs, diagnosis, and treatment of PHOAR1, with the aim of raising awareness of this rare entity.

Liver Transplantation Using a Whole-Liver Graft Donated from a Brain-Dead Donor Complicated with Rendu-Osler-Weber Syndrome: A Case Report.

Introduction: Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome, or hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), is a rare autosomal dominant genetic vascular disease characterized by arteriovenous malformations, vascular wall fragility, dilatation, and rupture of the vessels with hepatic symptoms. As HHT with hepatic symptoms is recognized as the primary etiology for liver transplantation, liver transplantation with liver grafts from donors affected by HHT is extremely rare. Herein, we report a successful liver transplantation in a patient with biliary atresia who received a whole-liver graft from a young brain-dead donor with HHT.

Copeptin, a stable glycopeptide derived from the precursor of arginine vasopressin (AVP), has emerged as a valuable surrogate biomarker for AVP due to its stability and ease of measurement. This narrative review explores the physiological role of copeptin, its utility as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in different kidney diseases, and its clinical relevance in renal tubular disorders. The clinical application of copeptin as a diagnostic biomarker is best established in the differential diagnosis of polyuria-polydipsia syndrome (PPS), distinguishing nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) from central diabetes insipidus (CDI) and primary polydipsia (PP).

Introduction: Liver transplantation for polycystic liver disease (PLD) poses significant intraoperative risks due to the presence of a massively enlarged liver. We report a rare case of intraoperative pneumothorax and pneumatocele formation during total hepatectomy, which was successfully managed with a non-operative approach.
Case Presentation: A female patient in her 40s with a history of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease presented with progressive liver cyst enlargement (Gigot type III, Qian classification Grade 4), which led to decreased activities of daily living and intracystic hemorrhage.

Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome (BHDS) is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder caused by mutation in a tumour suppressor gene, FLCN, leading to skin tumours (fibrofolliculomas), renal tumours and pulmonary cysts. Lung involvement is predominantly observed in 70% of the cases of BHDS, manifesting in the form of recurrent primary spontaneous pneumothorax. This video tutorial showcases the surgical management of recurrent right primary spontaneous pneumothorax in a young adult with a history of multiple episodes of bilateral pneumothorax managed by surgical intervention previously.
