Gardner-Diamond syndrome is a rare condition secondary to a sensitization to self-erythrocytes. It is predominantly seen in women and presents as a painful ecchymotic disorder. An underlying psychiatric disease or a triggering psychological stress is of important diagnostic value.
We report a 24-year-old patient who presented with intermittent spontaneous painful ecchymosis since 5 years. Complementary investigations failed to identify an organic disorder. Gardner-Diamond syndrome was retained because of the clinical presentation, the negativity of diagnostic work-up and the identification of a psychological trauma. Patient management (pain, psychological support) is difficult, justifying a multidisciplinary approach.
Gardner-Diamond syndrome is a rare and unrecognized disorder, which should be discussed in the presence of ecchymotic or purpuric lesions that do not have a diagnostic orientation. Early recognition of this disorder enables initiation of an appropriate management, but also limits unnecessary additional explorations.
加德纳-戴蒙德综合征是一种继发于自身红细胞致敏的罕见病症。主要见于女性,表现为疼痛性瘀斑病症。潜在的精神疾病或引发的心理压力具有重要的诊断价值。
我们报告一名24岁患者,自5年前起出现间歇性自发性疼痛性瘀斑。辅助检查未能发现器质性疾病。由于临床表现、诊断检查结果为阴性以及发现心理创伤,故诊断为加德纳-戴蒙德综合征。患者管理(疼痛、心理支持)困难,这证明多学科方法是合理的。
加德纳-戴蒙德综合征是一种罕见且未被认识的病症,在出现无诊断方向的瘀斑或紫癜性病变时应予以讨论。早期识别该病症有助于启动适当的管理,同时也限制了不必要的额外检查。
