Green nail syndrome (GNS) is a pseudomonal nail infection that presents with characteristic green nail discoloration. It typically affects patients with preexisting nail conditions or chronic exposure to wet environments but can also be seen with local trauma. Our patient presented with a pseudomonal corneal ulcer of the left eye and was incidentally found to have GNS, which developed after home artificial nail application. This unusual case of extensive pediatric GNS illustrates a rare and serious infectious complication of prolonged artificial nails.

Infantile hemangiomas are the most common childhood vascular lesions. LUMBAR syndrome (lower body hemangioma, urogenital abnormalities/ulceration, myelopathy, bony deformities, anorectal malformations/arterial anomalies, and rectal anomalies) warrants special treatment considerations. Here we describe a case of an infant with LUMBAR syndrome who presented with severe perineal ulceration refractory to standard medical therapy and was managed with a temporary diverting sigmoid colostomy. This case demonstrates that adjunctive surgical management can be considered in infants with aggressive perineal wounds refractory to standard medical therapy.
