Epilepsy with bilateral occipital calcifications: Sturge-Weber variant or a different encephalopathy?

A series of cases of epilepsy with associated bilateral occipital calcifications (EBOC) without signs of phakomatosis and without any disorders known to produce cerebral calcifications have been reported. It is unclear whether EBOC is an incomplete variant of Sturge-Weber disease (SWD) or if it is a different, as yet undefined encephalopathy. We describe four new cases of EBOC that are different clinically by age of onset, type, course, severity of epilepsy, and associated cognitive deficits but that are linked by similar neuroradiologic findings. Similar to cases described in the literature, there is convincing evidence in favor of the hypothesis that these cases belong to an encephalopathy different from SWD and frequently associated with celiac disease.

[Cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung: experience in 4 operated cases].

The congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (MACP), represents the congenital lung malformation most frequent in pediatric age. After examining the embryology, the treatment and the evolution of the malformation we wish to report our experience of four cases of MACP in patients 2 month, 1, 2 and 3 years of age. Lobectomy has cured all patients with the exception of one; this child had a MACP of the lung associated with Rhabdomyosarcoma and died after one and half year of chemotherapy.
