Conditions with this feature

Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis
MedGen UID:
9403
Concept ID:
C0020807
Disease or Syndrome
Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis is a respiratory disease due to repeated episodes of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage without any underlying apparent cause, most often in children. Anemia, cough, and pulmonary infiltrates on chest radiographs are found in majority of the patients.
Pulmonary hypertension due to chronic exposure to high altitude
MedGen UID:
83314
Concept ID:
C0340552
Disease or Syndrome
Blue rubber bleb nevus
MedGen UID:
83401
Concept ID:
C0346072
Congenital Abnormality
A rare vascular malformation disorder with cutaneous and visceral lesions frequently associated with serious, potentially fatal bleeding and anemia.
Congenital fascial dystrophy
MedGen UID:
226997
Concept ID:
C1302740
Congenital Abnormality
Microcephaly-cardiac defect-lung malsegmentation syndrome
MedGen UID:
371329
Concept ID:
C1832436
Disease or Syndrome
Microcephaly - cardiac defect - lung malsegmentation syndrome is a very rare syndrome characterized by the combination of microcephaly, heart defects, renal hypoplasia, lung segmentation defects and cleft palate.
Thymic-renal-anal-lung dysplasia
MedGen UID:
336425
Concept ID:
C1848812
Congenital Abnormality
This syndrome has characteristics of intrauterine growth retardation, renal dysgenesis and a unilobed or absent thymus. It has been described in three girls born to a nonconsanguineous couple.
Holoprosencephaly-postaxial polydactyly syndrome
MedGen UID:
340382
Concept ID:
C1849649
Disease or Syndrome
Holoprosencephaly-postaxial polydactyly syndrome associates, in chromosomally normal neonates, holoprosencephaly, severe facial dysmorphism, postaxial polydactyly and other congenital abnormalities, suggestive of trisomy 13. Incidence is unknown. Dysmorphic features include hypotelorism, severe eye anomalies such as microphthalmia or anophthalmia, premaxillary region aplasia and cleft lip and palate. Congenital cardiac anomalies are common. The condition seems to be inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. Prognosis is poor.
