[Blepharophimosis, ptosis and epicanthus inversus].

Blepharophimosis, ptosis and epicanthus inversus is a rare well-documented autosomal dominant disorder. Described here is a family with typical features of this syndrome in eleven cases in five generations. Syndrome is discussed and blepharophimosis underlined. Blepharophimosis is also a minor defect in the contest of complex malformation syndromes having different aetiology (mendelian inheritance, chromosomal abnormality, toxic agents). The Authors believe that blepharophimosis, for its clinical evidence, is an important guide sign.

[Mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome].

Authors describe two new cases of mucocutaneus lymphonode syndrome (MCLS). These are the tenth and eleventh in Italy since 1977, confirming that this syndrome, known also as Kawasaki disease, is world-wide spread. More attention is therefore required to diagnosis particularly for possible coronary artery involvement. Echocardiography may be useful in doing that. A survey of recent literature indicates that salicylate therapy may be useful not only for symptoms relief but also in preventing life threatening of coronary artery vasculitis.
