[Cranial mucormycosis in a patient with a transplanted kidney].

Mucormycosis is a very serious complication of debilitating diseases, and particularly of diabetes. Presently the treatment of choice is amphotericine B. A patient is described who, like most other renal transplant patients with mucormycosis, had cranial localization of this disease and diabetes. The clinical findings were classical and the diagnosis was confirmed histologically.

Adult

[Tuberous sclerosis in a premature infant (author's transl)].

A sporadic case of tuberous sclerosis in a stillborn infant is reported. The death at the 31st week of gestation was presumably due to the development of enormous rhabdomyomas of the heart. The typical cerebral lesions were fully developed as in patients decreased later in life. The atypical cells found in the cortical tubers demonstrated ultractructural features of reactive astrocytes. Moreover, they showed innumerable microvillilike projections on their surface and junctional complexes, mostly of the zonula adharens type, reminescent of ependymocytes. The significance of such glio-epithelial cellular features is discussed.
