INTRODUCTION AND CLINICAL CASES: The Pitt Rogers Danks syndrome is characterized by prenatal and postnatal retardation of growth, mental retardation, microcephaly, convulsions and a peculiar facies. It is believed to represent a clinical variant of the Wolf Hirschhorn syndrome, since there is a deletion in the 4p16.3 region in both syndromes. We report two cases in the same family caused by maternal mal segregation of a 4:8 balanced translocation. We describe the clinical characteristics, investigations done and a review of the literature.

Thoracoscopic surgery requires dedicated instrumentation which, in some way, differs from the usual laparoscopic instrumentation. Optics and instruments must be adapted to the anatomical features of the thorax. We describe the currently available reusable and disposable instruments as well as optical systems for video-assisted thoracic surgery. Future lines of development are given.
