1/5. phenol intoxication in a child.phenol preparations are used in dermatology and plastic surgery for the treatment of acne and during chemical face peeling. At this institution, phenol peeling is used in addition to mechanical dermabrasion for the elimination of subclinical premalignant lesions of patients having xeroderma pigmentosum. As the phenol peel is performed, most surgeons concentrate on skin results, ignoring systemic complications. Local histological changes and systemic toxicity have been seen during applications. Cardiac arrhythmias and even sudden death have been reported. The high incidence of cardiac arrhythmias after topical application of phenol preparations is demonstrated. The case of an 11-year-old boy with a diagnosis of xeroderma pigmentosum who underwent mechanical dermabrasion and chemical peeling with phenol and then developed severe cardiac arrhythmias is reported. A serious systemic toxic effect on cardiac rhythm from cutaneously applied phenol occurred in this case.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = dermabrasion (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/5. xeroderma pigmentosum: resurfacing versus dermabrasion.Three patients of xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) have been managed for recurrent tumours. Improvement in pigment pattern was observed at both the donor as well as the recipient sites. An attempt has been made to prevent further occurrence of tumours over the exposed parts of the body by resurfacing and also by dermabrasion. A comparative study of the two procedures is being carried out and the preliminary results are discussed. Deep dermabrasion appears to be preferable as a prophylactic procedure.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3keywords = dermabrasion (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/5. The role of dermabrasion and chemical peels in the treatment of patients with xeroderma pigmentosum.We describe our experience with two patients with xeroderma pigmentosum who underwent periodic trichloroacetic acid chemical peels. One also received a full-face dermabrasion. The effect of chemical peeling was more transient than dermabrasion but was associated with less morbidity. Both chemical peeling and dermabrasion provided a prophylactic effect against the development of skin malignancies; the latter had a more pronounced effect.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3.5keywords = dermabrasion (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/5. Management of a young patient with xeroderma pigmentosum.xeroderma pigmentosum is a group of rare autosomal recessive disorders with defective dna repair that provide insight into the basic mechanism of carcinogenesis. It is the best human model linking clinical abnormalities and neoplasia to carcinogen exposure. We describe a patient with xeroderma pigmentosum and numerous basal cell carcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas, and melanomas treated with radiation therapy, Mohs micrographic surgery, dermabrasion, and isotretinoin prophylaxis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = dermabrasion (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/5. dermabrasion in xeroderma pigmentosum.BACKGROUND. dermabrasion is one choice of treatment for patients with severe actinic damage. OBJECTIVE. To report the youngest xeroderma pigmentosum patient ot have received the benefits of this procedure. methods. The dermabrasion was performed under general anesthesia using an acrotorque hand engine. RESULTS. New tumor formation was reduced for several months after the treatment. CONCLUSION. dermabrasion can be considered as another therapeutic choice for young xeroderma pigmentosum patients with severe actinic damage.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = dermabrasion (Clic here for more details about this article) |
