The Authors describe two monochorionic twins affected by Niemann-Pick disease type C with a clinical picture beginning in the neonatal age and with a progressive mental deterioration, loss of speech and spasticity started at 30 months.

[Hyperglycemic, hyperosmolar nonketotic diabetic coma in the pediatric age].

A case of non-ketotic hyperglycaemic-hyperosmolar diabetic coma in a 8 yr. old boy after a severe mental trauma is reported. This joins the 18 similar cases of paediatric age published up to now. On the basis of the results of virological and immunological investigations, insulinogenic function and psychodiagnosis, the diagnosis, aetiopathogenesis and therapy of this unusual event are discussed. The desirability of measuring plasma osmolarity in children diabetic coma is stressed.

[Psychoses and relational games].

This paper examines psychosis as a manifestation of the internal logic of a relation system.

[Handicap and family: a systemic approach to the family of handicapped children].

In this paper the authors use their own experience to focus on some of the problems of families with handicapped children. They use a systemic model as a paradigm to describe various levels of analysis and interactional processes within and between the various family systems. This also enables the authors to shape their solution to the complexity of the observed phenomena.

[Handicap and normality: needs and interventions].

The purpose of this paper is to restore the concept of "handicap" to its original etymologic meaning as a term that identifies a relationship rather than a property concerning only one subject. If the handicap is not considered only in terms of a single person but of the relationship between him and his environmental context, it is possible to avoid the dual ideological constraint whereby people are condemned to no-way-out disability or society is stigmatized as the receptacle for all ills. The wellbeing of the disabled and society alike can become feasible as a result of the flexible rediscovery of this relationship and the formulation of original new creative approaches to normality.

[Problems in the families of handicapped children].

The authors use clinical examples to describe their experience as child neuropsychiatrists treating the handicap. They emphasize the need for integration between services and the importance of structured interviews with families as well as rehabilitation and therapy for the child. Special attention must be dedicated to the patient during the adolescent phase, which is a crucial one for his/her family. He still needs to be supported and actively involved in what is a potentially positive transformation process.

[The usefulness of the family myth concept within the therapeutic process].

In the three clinical histories reported in this paper, the connection between myth and relational pathology is definitely evident. In addition, strategic suggestions are made as to how to bring about positive changes in therapy by exploring the individual resources of each family member, unconsciously hidden in the effort to preserve the myth. The preliminary step, as shown by the case histories, emphasizes the role of the myth and the significant contributions it provided and is still providing to the whole family.

[Skull injuries in children. Clinico-statistical findings in patients of the pediatric ward of the Maria Vittoria Hospital 1979-1983].

The present review analyzes the available epidemiologic data referred to all cases of children head injuries admitted to the Pediatric Division of Maria Vittoria Hospital in the years from 1979 to 1983. In this survey the authors investigate "minor" head injuries, namely cases which do not require any neurosurgical act. The statistical research emphasizes an interesting linkage between head injury, its clinical, Rx. and EEG data, and children's age, as economic, social, familial situations.
