[Acute necrosis of the thoracic esophagus and ileum complicating rheumatoid purpura].

A child is described who developed acute ischaemic necrosis of the oesophagus complicating an otherwise typical case of anaphylactoid purpura. This episode was preceded by a necrotising ileitis requiring intestinal resection and ileostomy. The histological similarities of the lesions in the oesophagus and the ileum suggest a common cause connected with the anaphylactoid purpura.

[Problems in diagnosis of necrotic angiitis of the tongue].

Cutaneous and mucous lesions are uncommon and very often confusing in Horton's disease. In this case report, adding to this confusing aspect, the patient's medical history and clinical signs led the investigations in a totally different direction. Facing this isolated lesion of the tongue and the negative biopsy of the temporal superficial artery, the diagnosis of Horton's disease was finally confirmed by the good reaction following corticoid therapy.

[Hypophyseal gonadotropin secretion in sexual precocity with McCune-Albright's syndrome].

In three young girls with isosexual precocity and fibrous dysplasia of bones, plasma gonadotropins (LH and FSH) response to releasing hormone (LH-RH) has been much under the mean response in true female precocious puberty. These data and those previously reported in the literature suggest that MacCune-Albright's syndrome correlates to an hypothalamo-pituitary dysfunction rather than to a true prematurity.
