[Rett syndrome. A frequent cause of progressive mental retardation in girls].

We report 6 cases of Rett syndrome, a disorder that occurs only in girls and is characterized by slowly progressive deterioration of higher brain function, with dementia and autistic behavior, loss of purposeful use of the hands and deceleration of head growth. We consider interesting this report because Rett syndrome would be an important cause of mental retardation in girls, which has been overlooked until few years ago.

[Polymyositis and dermatomyositis in childhood].

Authors report clinical and laboratory findings, treatment and evolution of six girls and three boys aged between 20 months and 13 years, diagnosed of juvenile polymyositis-dermatomyositis in the last seven years. Presenting symptoms were asthenia and proximal muscle weakness; in 3 cases characteristic skin lesions were associated. All were treated initially with prednisone p.o. (1-2 mg/kg/day) response being favourable in seven. Two patients with chronic evolution were treated with methotrexate and IV bolus of methylprednisolone.
