[Congenital muscular dystrophy. Apropos of 4 cases].

Four cases of congenital muscular dystrophy are reported. Muscular weakness and hypotonia, with different clinical severity, was present from birth in three patients; in the fourth one, it began at two months old. Three cases had joint contractures. One patient died by respiratory infection. Serum CK level was very high in all of them. Muscle biopsies showed pathologic changes consistent with muscular dystrophy with endomysial and perimysial fibrosis and fatty infiltration. Authors analysed this illness emphasizing clinical and biochemical (CK) data so that an early diagnosis can be suspected.

Fetal subdural hematoma: diagnosis in utero. Case report.

A subdural hematoma was diagnosed antepartum in an infant by means of sonography. An elective caesarean section was performed because cephalopelvic disproportion, and later the hematoma was drained with a poor evolution due to basal ganglia and intraventricular hemorrhage. No etiological factor of bleeding was found. This is the third published case of fetal subdural hematoma diagnosed antepartum.

Plasma calcitonin concentration in patients treated with chronic dialysis: differences between hemodialysis and CAPD.

We have determined plasma calcitonin levels in 72 chronic dialysis patients and investigated their possible correlations with other parameters of calcium and phosphorus metabolism, including plasma levels of calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase and parathormone, as well as with the duration of treatment. Forty-one of the patients were being treated with hemodialysis (HD) and thirty-one with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Increased calcitonin levels were detected in 83% of the HD patients and in 79% of the CAPD group. In the former there was a positive correlation between the levels of calcitonin and the calcium, corrected calcium, alkaline phosphatase and parathormone levels and with the duration of treatment, whereas in the latter the calcitonin levels only correlated with the serum calcium. The patients receiving CAPD also showed significantly lower calcium and calcitonin levels than the HD patients. Our conclusion is that, apart from accumulation due to renal failure, the main factor determining the calcitonin level is the blood calcium level, and that the observed increase might play a role in the physiological protection of bone against the action of parathyroid hormone.

Extradural hemorrhage in the posterior fossa in neonates.

The case of a neonate with an extradural hemorrhage in the left posterior fossa, the result of trauma at birth, is reported. The routine axial transverse CT scan did not detect the exact preoperative location of the clots in the extradural space of the posterior fossa. Good recovery was achieved following the operation.
