Liaison psychiatry in pediatric surgery--a promising approach.

Liaison psychiatry in pediatric surgery is described and the experiences at the University Children's Hospital in Zurich are reported. The patients seen by the child psychiatrist in surgery are specified and compared with those seen in pediatrics. For the most part the same psychiatric diagnoses were made in both groups with some differences in frequency. It is concluded that liaison psychiatry should be implemented in pediatric surgery, as has long been the case in pediatrics.

[Varicella fetopathy].

A newborn boy, whose mother had suffered from varicella in her 15th week of gestation, showed at birth fresh skin ulcers and cicatricial skin lesions on the right side of his face. Ocular abnormalities (chorioretinitis) as well as persistent dysphagia were observed. Up to date, only 25 cases of congenital varicella have been reported. They frequently showed cutaneous scars in a segmental distribution, hypoplasia of the locomotor system and ocular defects. In view of the extreme rarity of this condition, we do not consider diagnostic and prophylactic measures compulsory in cases of varicella contact during pregnancy.
