[Mothers rooming-in in a department of pediatrics (author's transl)].

The socio-economic and medical characteristics of a population of 100 children hospitalized in a "mother and child" section of a general pediatric department were studied in order to point out some objective data. This population appears socio-economically privileged. The majority of them are single children, with ages ranging from 0 to 10 years and with many babies under 6 months. There are as many working mothers in this group as in the average population of the department. Types of diseases are varied as the children were not chosen on medical criteria. Lastly, the length of the stay in hospital becomes noticeably shorter.

[Mothers rooming-in in a department of pediatrics (author's transl)].

In order to better understand the reactions arising from the admission of a child with his mother to the hospital, the reactions of the families, of the hospital staff and of doctors to the permanent presence of the mothers have been analysed. It appears that, in spite of the constraints linked with this type of hospital treatment, it does have positive aspects as compared to the usual type of hospitalization : the organization of the admission, the existence of a single medical contact, a closer observation, a team which works closer together, better possibilities of obtaining information, a shorter stay in hospital; all these improvements could be generalized. However, this concept of hospital treatment is quite demanding for the hospital staff, who must have the support of all the doctors concerned and of the administration.

[Surgical excision of a hepatoma complicating chronic tyrosinemia (author's transl)].

A girl with chronic hereditary tyrosinemia is described in whom the diet caused an immediate resolution of tubular defect and rapid healing of the rickets. However cirrhosis was not prevented and at the age of 8 she developed a hepatoma. Complete surgical excision was possible and she remained well 15 months later. The value of blood alpha-fetoprotein levels and liver echotomography to monitor the course of the disease is emphasized. The apparent ineffectiveness of the low phenylalanine and tyrosine diet in preventing hepatic complications is discussed.

[Leri's melorheostosis. Apropos of 3 cases in children].

Three pediatric cases of Leri's melorheostosis are reported. Growth disorders and deformities of the limbs are often the first signs in children. X ray shows areas of very opaque condensation of the long bones parallel to the main axis of the bones parallel to the main axis of the bone, and on the epiphyses, small dense and irregular islets. The course is benign but there may be orthopedic complications.

[Bronchopulmonary aspergilloma in children and bronchogenic cyst. A new case].

The authors report a new case of aspergilloma developing in an intra-pulmonary bronchogenic cyst in a girl aged 10 years. A cure was obtained after surgical excision. The possibility of serious complications, such as hemoptysis, abscess formation and spread of the aspergillus, has two consequences; the first is the utility of regular supervision of any intra-pulmonary air cavity and, eventually, surgical removal. The second is the necessity of operation as soon as the diagnosis of aspergilloma has been made.

[Nanism caused by water deprivation, with transitory growth hormone deficiency].

Report of a case of a girl admitted for alcoholic poisoning then for a toxic syndrome with considerable hypernatremia. Clinical examination showed a dwarfism (-4 S.D.) with break of the growth curve and bone-age retardation. History revealed cruelty and thirsting since the age of 2 years. Isolated somatotropin insufficiency was found. Separation from the family and free drinking induced a spectacular recovery of growth and normalization of growth hormone level. The relative role and relationships between growth hormone deficiency and chronic dehydration due to water deprivation in the physiopathology of dwarfism due to frustration are discussed.
