[Kawasaki's disease. a case presentation].

A case of Kawasaki's disease in a girl of 2 10/12 years of age is presented. She had a typical clinical picture, without cardiovascular afectation, and with good final results. Apparently this is the third case reported in the Spanish medical literature. Attention is called to the low incidence of MLNS in the western countries--only 50 cases reported--as compared with the great number reported from Japan. The problems of diagnosis and pathogeny are discussed, particularly their intimate relation to infantile polyarteritis nodosa, because of the similarities in the cardiovascular alterations in both processes, above all in mortal cases.

[Coarctation of the aorta. In infancy (author's transl)].

We review our experience in 38 patients with coarctation of the aorta during infancy. Cardiac failure was present in 30 patients, being the maximal incidence during the first and second weeks of the life. Sixteen infants died, 43% of them during the first week. Cardiac catherization and angiocardiography were performed in 22 infants. The coarctation of the aorta was isolated in 38 infants (36%). The most frequently associated malformations were: patent ductus arteriosus (6 cases), ventricular septal defect (5 cases) and the pathology of the left heart. The post mortem examination was performed in 11 infants; in all of them the CoAo was preductal with patent ductus arteriosus; the most frequently associated malformation was ventricular septal defect (6 cases). 5 infants were operated upon with succes during the first year of the life.

[Diagnostic of the heart tumors in newborn and children (author's transl)].

Heart tumors in children are rare. Though of benign pathology they are clinically malignant and should be diagnosed early and promptly treated by surgery in spite of the poor results usually obtained. Any heart enlargement in the absence of congenital heart disease accompanied by rhythm and conduction troubles must be considered as suspect. Five cases of heart tumor are reported and clinically described. Four occurred in newborns and the remaining one before the age of one. Heart enlargement was a constant finding. The ECG findings were: W.P.W. syndrome, intraventricular conduction troubles and ventricular tachycardia, wandering pacemaker (one case each) and ventricular hypertrophy with surprisingly low voltages in the corresponding chest leads (two cases).

[Di Giorge's syndrome with congenital heart disease (author's transl)].

Authors describe three cases of Di Giorge's syndrome (thymic and parathyroid aplasia) proved through anatomical study postmorten, associated with cardiac malformations (Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia, persistent truncus arteriosus and large patent ductus arteriosus). Clinical characteristics of the stated syndrome are analized with special reference to congenital heart diseases that are included in it.

[Congenital heart block and pacemaker implantation (author's transl)].

A six years old boy was sent to our service due to a loss of conscience spell. He had no preceding history E.K.G. showed a complete A-V block. Laboratory findings were within normal limits. Cardiac catheterism was performed and it ruled out any antomic abnormality, making evident a good contraction ability. To decide pacemaker implantation we evaluted: 1. That cardiac frequency was not increased by exercise neither by action of pharmacologyc agents (atropine, insoproterenol).-2. The existence of wide and bizarre QRS ocmplex.-3. And dizziness spels. The patient has been controlled during the past two years. Parasistolia has appeared, not showing modification till today.
