The danger of the anaphylactoid reactions which occur during pediatric general anesthesia leads the authors to use a specific antihistaminic premedication. The association of cimetidine and hydroxizine has been proved to be adequate to avoid systemic histamine adverse effects and to diminish gastric secretion in pediatric anesthesia. The authors recommend oral administration.

[V.A.T.E.R. association and its limits].

Comparative investigation of 92 cases of V.A.T.E.R. syndrome (4 personal cases) and 62 cases of caudal regression (Duhamel syndrome) (2 personal cases) are performed. There is much analogy between these two entities. Initial impairment would be an early dysfunction of mesoderm setting up located on esophagus in V.A.T.E.R. syndrome and on kidneys in Duhamel syndrome. Etiopathogenic factors remain unknown. Genetic counseling is good. Detection of only one mesodermal malformation leads to inquire other unnoticed anomalies (kidneys, heart, spine, alimentary duct).
