[Poland's syndrome: presentation of two cases diagnosed during the neonatal period (author's transl)].

Two cases of Poland syndrome, diagnosed during the neonatal period, are reported. The children exhibited the following malformations: absence of the costosternal head of the pectoralis major, brachysyndactyly, hypoplasia of the upper limb. There were also other associated anomalies such as: Sprengel deformity in one case, hypoplasia of the lower limb and absence of a toe on the same site, in the other case. The authors point out the possibility of associating other multiple abnormalities and they examine the various pathogenic hypothesis presented in the literature.

[Amniotic band syndrome (author's transl)].

The authors present a critical revision of the literature concerning the pathogenic hypotheses and the opinions, during the centuries, about the origin of the deformities caused by amniotic bands. Here they describe two cases of severe deformities caused by amniotic bands which can be classified in types I and V according to Onnipoff and Hall. In the first case the newborn died immediately after the birth: the other one lives in good health after multiple surgical operations. In accordance with the anatomical reports that were found using very specific techniques and methods, the authors are inclined to accept Torpin's hypothesis, which affirms that the initial moment of the series of events which causes the formation of the amniotic bands is the breakage of the amniotic sac.
