[Pourfour du Petit syndrome].

The Pourfour du Petit's syndrome is characterized by the unilateral appearance of mydriasis, lid retraction and exophthalmos. It suggests the existence of a localized oculosympathetic hyperactivity. It tends be to caused by injuries that suppose a stimulus of the sympathetics fibers at level of the proximal portion of the first dorsal root or in the cervical sympathetic chain. We report the clinical case of a young patient who developed a Pourfour du Petit's syndrome secondary to a small condrosarcoma of the proximal portion of the first rib. The observation of this syndrome is exceptional but its knowledge permits, by the great topographic value that possesses, a rapid identification of the causative injury.

[The use of FD-6 monoclonal antibody in diagnosing and detecting the carriers of familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy type I].

Familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy type I (FAF-I) is caused by a specific genetic mutation that gives rise to a transthyretin anomaly whose presence in serum constitutes the biochemical marker for this disease. We studied the serum of 7 patients and 16 asymptomatic members of their immediate families using ELISA with FD-6 monoclonal antibody to detect the transthyretin anomaly. Positive results were found for the 7 patients, including the 2 patients whose disease was apparently sporadic, and 12 carriers were detected among the family members. This technique makes sural nerve biopsy unnecessary for establishing a diagnosis in patients whose clinical signs are consistent with FAP-I. Asymptomatic carriers are also detected, facilitating appropriate genetic counseling.

[Peripheral neuropathy in progressive systemic sclerosis].

We report a patient that developed a sensorimotor polyneuropathy more than a year before the appearance of the typical clinical signs of progressive systemic sclerosis. A sural nerve biopsy showed epineural vasculitis with involvement of the basal membrane of the endoneural vessels, without proliferation of the connective tissue.
