Neurocutaneous melanosis is a rare congenital phacomatosis, characterized by the presence of multiple pigmented skin nevi at birth. Meningeal melanosis tending to become malignant and seizure. Dandy-Walker syndrome is a developmental disorder of brain characterized by cystic dilatation of the fourth ventricle and agenesis or hypoplasia of the cerebellar vermis. We studied a case of Dandy-Walker syndrome with neurocutaneous giant melanosis in a 3 years old boy.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of axillary web syndrome (AWS) in Korean patients. Methods: This retrospective study included a total of 189 women who underwent breast cancer surgery and received physical therapy between September 2019 and August 2020. We analyzed AWS and the correlation between the patients’ demographics, underlying disease, type of surgery and chemotherapy or radiation therapy, and lymphedema. Results: The prevalence of AWS was found to be 30.6%. In the univariable analysis, age, chemotherapy, and hypertension were related to AWS. Finally, the multivariable logistic regression revealed that chemotherapy (odds ratio [OR]=2.84; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.46–5.53) and HTN (OR=2.72; 95% CI, 1.18–6.30) were the strongest risk factors of AWS. Conclusion To the best of our knowledge, this was the first study that explored the risk factors of AWS in a Korean population after breast cancer surgery. As almost one-third of patients suffer from AWS after breast cancer surgery, it is essential to closely monitor the development of AWS in patients with hypertension or undergoing chemotherapy.
