Abstract

Subcutaneous fat necrosis is a rare disorder, mostly seen at first week of life whose etiology is not truely known. It ıs panniculitis that perinatal complications like gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, asphyxia, meconium aspiration, birth trauma, sepsis and hypothermia are thought to be the causes. Subcutaneous fat necrosis is characterized by usually painless red-coloured nodular lesions with sharp contours localized on back, shoulders, hips, and thighs. In this case we decided to emphasize early development of metastatic calcifications secondary to subcutaneous fat necrosis at a 24 day-old term neonate with a history of neonatal asphyxia who had undergone treatment for hypothermia, and developed hypocalcemia, hypercalcemia, and finally nephrocalcinosis.

Özet

Subkutan yağ nekrozu yaşamın ilk haftalarında görülen etiyolojisi tam olarak bilinmeyen ender bir hastalıktır. Gestasyonel diabet, preeklampsi, asfiksi, mekonyum aspirasyonu, doğum travması, sepsis ve hipotermi gibi perinatal komplikasyonların suçlandığı bir pannikülittir. Sırt, omuzlar, kalça ve uylukta yerleşen, kırmızı renkli, keskin sınırlı sıklıkla ağrısız nodüller ile karakterizedir. Bu olguda zamanında doğan, asfiktik doğum öyküsü olan, hipotermi tedavisi uygulanan, erken dönemde hipokalsemi daha sonra hiperkalsemi ve nefrokalsinozis gelişen 24 günlük yenidoğan bebekte subkutan yağ dokusu nekrozuna bağlı gelişebilecek metastatik kalsifikasyonların erken dönemde eşlik edebileceğinin vurgulanması açısından sunulmuştur.
