Extractions: 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.

Extractions: 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.

Approximately 1 of 10 children with BWS develops cancer, however the risk is high enough to warrant screening for cancer. The incidence of cancer is age dependent with the risk being higher in the first four years, lower between 5 and 10 years and near the baseline risk of cancer in the general population by 10 years of age. J Pediatr 1998; 132:398-400. The major reason to screen for cancer is because early identification of the cancer leads to improved survival and/or decreased morbidity associated with cancer treatment. Fortunately, the two most common cancers in BWS, namely Wilms tumor and hepatoblastoma, meet these criteria.
