Abstract

Abstract Objectives Subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn (SCFN) is a rare panniculitis that can affect newborn patients who have experienced perinatal stress, hypoxia, or hypothermia. Risk factors include gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia. This condition is usually self-limiting; however, it can lead to severe complications, including hypercalcemia. After diagnosis, it is important to monitor calcium levels. There is no current standard for how frequently these levels should be monitored. Case presentation We present a full-term African American male with multiple risk factors, who was diagnosed with SCFN. The patient’s hypercalcemia secondary to SCFN led to renal complications. Conclusions This case highlights the importance of early and frequent monitoring of calcium levels in patients with SCFN.

新生儿皮下脂肪坏死和肾结石

摘要目的新生儿皮下脂肪坏死(SCFN)是一种罕见的全身炎，可影响围产期应激、缺氧或体温过低的新生儿。危险因素包括妊娠期糖尿病和先兆子痫。这种情况通常是自限性的;然而，它会导致严重的并发症，包括高钙血症。诊断后，监测钙水平是很重要的。目前还没有关于监测这些水平的频率的标准。我们报告了一位患有多种危险因素的足月非裔美国男性，他被诊断为SCFN。患者继发于SCFN的高钙血症导致肾脏并发症。结论:本病例强调了早期和频繁监测SCFN患者钙水平的重要性。

期刊介绍： Case Reports in Perinatal Medicine is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal. The objective of the new journal is very similar to that of JPM. In addition to evidence-based studies, practitioners in clinical practice esteem especially exemplary reports of cases that reveal specific manifestations of diseases, its progress or its treatment. We consider case reports and series to be brief reports describing an isolated clinical case or a small number of cases. They may describe new or uncommon diagnoses, unusual outcomes or prognosis, new or infrequently used therapies and side effects of therapy not usually discovered in clinical trials. They represent the basic concept of experiences for studies on representative groups for further evidence-based research. The potential roles of case reports and case series are: Recognition and description of new diseases Detection of drug side effects (adverse or beneficial) Study of mechanisms of disease Medical education and audit Recognition of rare manifestations of disease.
