Help for sleepless parents Encyclopedia Index H hemihypertrophy Search hemihypertrophy Hemihypertrophy refers to the overgrowth (hypertrophy) of one side of the body. A person with hemihypertrophy will be found to have enlargement of the body on the affected side, so that the chest may be more full on the affected side as well as the arm and leg being longer and thicker in diameter. Hemihypertrophy in infants and young children is important because such children have a much higher incidence of certain abdominal cancers, notably Wilm's tumor of the kidney and hepatoblastoma (liver cancer). Unequal leg length cause some walking difficulties as well. Children with hemihypertrophy require careful periodic followup examinations to detect any early sign of malignancy. This followup must continue for a number of years. Hemihypertrophy can be a familial trait or may occur sporadically.

Introduction Hi! My name is Katie. I decided to have a Web site devoted to a rare disease called Hemihypertrophy, which I like to refer to as "Hemi." Why am I doing this? Well, I've tried to search for as much information regarding Hemi as possible, on the Web but I've found that there really isn't a lot available, and what is available isn't presented in a manner that someone other than a doctor could understand. There's a good chance that this may be the only Web site specifically about Hemi. I hope to be educating my visitors about this condition, as well as providing a support network for those who have it, and for their families. In case you're wondering Yes, I have Hemi. Although I've had this condition since I was a "tiny onion" ( that's just a little joke there, about the name I chose for my e-mail address ), it wasn't until a couple of years ago that I learned much about it including things such as my having to be hospitalized twice a year as a child, to be sure that I wasn't developing any tumors.

Please explain what this is and how it will effect her in the future. Thanks Dear Hilary: True hemihypertrophy or relative enlargement of one or more parts of one side of the body (usually legs or feet) is occasionally associated with the subsequent development of certain solid tumors and leukemia. Appropriate screening and follow-up are very important. Hemihypertrophy must be distinguished from hemiatrophy (one or more parts of one side of the body is/are unusually small). Hemiatrophy is not associated with subsequent malignancy. I do want to reassure you that if an associated malignancy is detected early, treatment is very likely to be successful.

Like I told you in chat , my darling daughter Jemma was diagnosed at the age of 4 months . She is now 4 1/2 years old, and although I have found an on-line support group for it, most of the members don't know much about it either. We live in Australia and there is very little information to be found. I seem to be the one teaching Jemma's pediatrician about what little I do know. At the moment, Jemma's discrepancy is at 4 cm, but just 2 months ago it was 2 cm. Since she has been diagnosed the discrepancy has remained fairly consistent before her most recent growth spurt. It has been a long and lonely journey for us (the doctors here don't seem to want to put me in contact with other Hemi families...if there are any), so any information gives me the backup I need to deal with this on our own. Once again thank you for taking the time for me in the

Hemihypertrophy , also called hemihyperplasia, is a greater-than-normal asymmetry between the right and left sides of the body. This difference can be in just one finger; just one limb; just the face; or an entire half of the body, including half the brain, half the tongue and the internal organs, or any variation in between. Someone with hemihypertrophy might have acne on only one side of the face. The skin is often thicker, and there may be more hair on the head, on the larger side. Rarely, children can have crossed hemihypertrophy (one leg and the opposite arm are larger than their partners).

The distinction from normal is important as some children with congenital hemihypertrophy have an increased risk of malignant abdominal tumours, most commonly Wilms. Other tumours include adrenal carcinoma and hepatoblastoma. Acquired hemihypertrophy associated with injury, infection, radiation or inflammation is not associated with an increased risk of malignancy. Hemihypertrophy is rarely apparent at birth but develops as the child grows. Total hypertrophy involves all systems: muscular, vascular, skeletal, neurologic and lymphatic. Ipsilateral paired internal organs are also affected. Limited forms only affect certain somatic structures. Non-syndromic hemihypertrophy is associated with anomalies, particularly genitourinary abnormalities. The presence of cutaneous and vascular lesions or other clinical features suggests a syndrome such as neurofibromatosis Fig.1

The following tools are presently available: Expanded search *For Medical Professionals only, registration required Hemihypertrophy, renal, Hemihypertrophy is defined as gross asymmetry of the body. It is a congenital malformation, presumably related to an underlying genetic mutation. An increased risk of childhood tumours is seen in patients with hemihypertrophy. This increased risk is also thought to be genetically mediated. These patients have an increased risk of Wilms tumour , adrenal cortical carcinoma and hepatoblastoma . Of note, the side of hypertrophy and the side of the tumour are not necessarily related. Hemihypertrophy may be detected on excretory urography, ultrasound, CT, and MRI. The renal anatomy is preserved, the number of calyces is not increased, and excretion is normal. An enlarged kidney is often the only radiological manifestation in the absence of associated tumours. The clinical importance of imaging lies in the detection and assessment of associated tumours.
