[Myxedema caused by ectopic lingual thyroid treated by autotransplantation. Results 18 years later].

An ectopic thyroïd gland causing hypothyroïdism was found in a 7 years old girl. The treatment was stopped six months later, nevertheless the growth rate was not affected. Sudden mechanical airway obstruction caused by the lingual goiter needed at the age of 16 years a surgical management. A thyröid nodule auto-transplantation was performed with a rather good success. Special comments about some physiopathological aspects of this original case.

[Multiple systemic atrophies, mental retardation, neurogenic amyotrophy and congenital bone fragility. A new neuro-generative disorder].

Five cases of a congenital neurological disorder are reported. Four patients, born after a breech delivery, belong to one sibship while the fifth patient is the only child in another family. The clinical features include quadriplegia, amyotrophy, a peripheral neuropathy, severe mental retardation and a subluxation of the hips. X-rays reveal diffuse osteoporosis and multiple spontaneous fractures. Autopsies in 3 patients showed multiple system atrophies involving the spinal cord and the cerebellum, coarse cerebral gyri and a marked reduction in volume of the white matter. These various pathological features are compared with the lesions found in a few other cases reported in the literature, none of which can be considered to be identical to the ones described. It is therefore felt that the condition under discussion represents a new syndrome to be classified, at least temporarily, within the group of multiple system atrophies.

[Chronic tubulo-interstitial nephropathy and tapetal-retinal degeneration. Senior's syndrome?].

Following Contreras and Espinoza in 1960, Senior and Loken, in 1961, described a new familial entity in which were associated renal and eye involvement in addition to Alport and Lowe's syndromes. About 30 cases of this syndrome have been reported until now. We report here a new case discovered with very advanced renal failure. No metabolic or enzymatic abnormality of the lysosomes was discovered. The family history and an investigation of the parents and six other siblings, did not reveal any similar case. Frequency of the morbid association, interstitial nephritis and retinal degeneration, is definitely underestimated. It raises numerous problems concerning the hereditary causes and the metabolic nature of both conditions, together with its place in classification of tubulo-interstitial nephritis described under the term of nephronophtisis. In practice, recognition of this association should permit early detection of the various components and assessment of the prognosis and family risk.
