Figure

  • Figure 1. (A, B) Hyperkeratinized eczematous skin lesions were seen on the face and both arms. (C) Fundus photograph shows a depigmented retina. (D) Spectralis optical coherence tomography revealed absence of central pit, which was consistent with fovea plana (arrow: absence of foveal pit), whereas normal control showed normal foveal pit in small white box (arrow).

  • Figure 2. (A) Posteroanterior chest radiograph taken before lung transplantation shows peribronchial ground-glass opacity and reticulation in both lung zones. (B-D) Contrast-enhanced computed tomography scans show multifocal peribronchial ground-glass opacity with traction bronchiectasis and reticulation, indicating bilateral pulmonary fibrosis.

  • Figure 3. Diagram of the first hospitalization period. ICU: intensive care unit; ECMO: extracorporeal membrane oxygenation; VV-ECMO: veno-venous ECMO.
