Cohen syndrome: fertility in a female patient.

In this report we describe fertility in an adult female with Cohen syndrome. She gave birth to a son, now 1.5 years old, with discrete facial stigmata and slight psychomotor retardation.

Interstitial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 4. A phenotype distinct from the Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome.

In this paper we report a 3-month-old male newborn with marked hypotonia and an interstitial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 4 but with preservation of the 4p16 band (karyotype 46,XY,del(4)(pter----p15.3::p14----cen----qter). In contrast to patients with a pure 4p16 deletion this patient presented dysmorphic stigmata which were much more discrete than those found in the typical Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome.

Prenatal indomethacin toxicity in one member of monozygous twins; a case report.

A mother, treated with indomethacin because of premature labour, delivered a pair of monozygous twins at a gestational age of 33 weeks. Because of foetal transfusion syndrome, the first twin was polycythaemic and the second anaemic. The latter was also hydropic, suffered from anuria requiring peritoneal dialysis, and showed signs of severe pulmonary hypertension, probably as a consequence of intra-uterine constriction of the ductus arteriosus. The possible interaction between foetal transfusion syndrome, anuria, premature constriction of the ductus arteriosus and the prenatal administration of indomethacin is discussed. In general, indomethacin should cautiously be used as a tocolytic agent.
