[Obstinate diarrhea in infants. A review of 84 cases].

Eighty-four cases of obstinate severe diarrhoea in infants are reported. Criteria for clinical and biological severity are precised. Histological examination of the small bowel was performed in 57 cases; a total atrophy of intestinal villi was found in only 33% of the cases during the first 3 months. Exclusive parenteral feeding, from the beginning or after failure of enteral feeding was given to 71 infants. Later on, enteral renutrition at constant flow, was administered, after simple preparation, in most cases. Seventeen died out of 84 infants, 7 of them within 2 weeks. For the others, the average time for recovery was 4 months. The conditions of prevention of obstinate severe diarrhoea in infancy are emphasized.

[Localized hemangioma of the bronchial trunk of the left lung in a 2-month-old infant].

A 2 month-old infant was admitted because of respiratory distress and thoracic assymetry. X-ray films revealed a distension of the left lung. A pneumo-angiography showed a cardiac silhouette displaced to the right and a normal vascular tree of the left lung. The rapid impairement of the clinical picture led to an exploratory thoracotomy. A tumor at the level of the left hyparterial bronchus was found. The histologic characteristics of the tumor were those of a hemangioma. Within the spectrum of broncheal tumors, hemangioma belong to benign mesenchymatous tumors and have a good prognosis providing that their removal is complete.
