Abstract

Milroy disease is characterized by edema that starts from the dorsum of foot and progresses to lower extremities due to a congenital anomaly of lenfatic vessels. A 7-month-old girl was brought to our outpatient clinic with complaints of bilateral swelling of the legs and feet. At physical examina- tion edema was present on the dorsum of feet and legs. In lymphoscintigraphy lymphatic clearance was not detected in the proximal injection region and the case was diagno- sed as Milroy disease. Milroy disease should be thought in the differential diagnosis of cases with edema in the lower extremities at birth

Özet

Milroy hastalığı; lenfatik damarların konjenital gelişimsel anomalisine bağlı olarak ortaya çıkan ve her iki ayak sır- tından başlayıp alt ekstremiteye doğru ilerleyen ödem ile karakterizedir. Yedi aylık kız hasta doğumundan itibaren her iki ayak ve bacak bölgesinde şişlik yakınması ile poli- kliniğimize getirildi. Fizik muayenesinde her iki ayak sırtı ve bacaklarda gode bırakan ödem mevcuttu. Alt ekstremite lenfosintigrafisinde enjeksiyon bölgesi proksimalinde len- fatik klerens izlenmeyen vakaya Milroy hastalığı tanısı konuldu. Doğumda alt ekstremitelerde ödemi olan vakalar- da ayırıcı tanıda Milroy hastalığının düşünülmesi gerektiği vurgulandı
