1/5. Transverse aortic arch replacement associated with magic syndrome: case report and literature review.We report a case of ascending and transverse aortic arch aneurysm repair with aortic valve replacement in a patient with magic syndrome (mouth and genital ulcers with inflamed cartilage), the unusual setting of both Behcet's disease and relapsing polychondritis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mouth (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/5. The magic syndrome (mouth and genital ulcers with inflamed cartilage).We describe a 42-year-old man with features of both Behcet's disease and relapsing polychondritis. The term magic syndrome (mouth and genital ulcers with inflamed cartilage) has previously been used to describe similarly affected patients. We discuss the diagnostic criteria and pathogenetic mechanisms.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = mouth (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/5. mouth and genital ulcers with inflamed cartilage: magic syndrome. Five patients with features of relapsing polychondritis and Behcet's disease.Five patients with features of coexistent relapsing polychondritis and Behcet's disease are described. review of the literature supports the overlap of the clinical manifestations of these two conditions. A common immunologic abnormality is likely, and elastin is cited as a possible target antigen. The "mouth and genital ulcers with inflamed cartilage (magic) syndrome" is the proposed name for this entity.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mouth (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/5. mouth and genital ulcers with inflamed cartilage (magic syndrome): a case report and literature review.A 39-year-old woman had relapsing polychondritis and Behcet's disease, which was described as mouth and genital ulcers with inflamed cartilage syndrome (magic). Serologic human leukocyte antigen analysis showed A24 (9), A31 (19), B56 (22), B62 (15), Cw6, DR4, DR9. Human leukocyte antigen allele analysis revealed DRB1* 0406/0901, DQA1* 0301/0301, DQB1* 0302/0303, DPB1* 0201/0501 through determining the genotype using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique. Treatment with methotrexate (5 mg/week) and pentoxifylline (300 mg/d) was effective to control oral ulcers, erythema nodosum, and arthritis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mouth (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/5. A vibrating trachea.A case of relapsing polychondritis presenting as tracheomalacia is reported in which an unusual low pitched sound was heard at the mouth and over the chest wall during expiration. The sound was associated with expiratory airflow limitation and oscillation on the flow trace of approximately 50 Hz. Spectral analysis of the sound showed it to have the characteristics of sounds produced by flutter in flow limited flexible tubes. These observations suggest that the sound was produced by airflow induced flutter in the trachea and main airways and is further evidence in support of the dynamic flutter theory of wheeze production.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mouth (Clic here for more details about this article) |
