[Iatrogenic Cushing syndrome in infants. Report of a case with dwarfism].

We report a case of iatrogenic Cushing syndrome with dwarfism (-6 SD) in an eight-month-old infant. The respective role of exposure to corticosteroids in utero (the mother took 30 mg prednisolone per day throughout pregnancy) and postnatally (oral prednisolone, prednisolone in breast milk, and betamethasone cream) is discussed. Two other features are pointed out, i.e. presence of a food allergy and favorable outcome under hydrocortisone therapy.

[Intrarectal clonazepam in children. Plasma and CSF levels].

Eleven children with seizures were treated with clonazepam by rectal route. Thirty minutes after the administration, the plasma (8 to 28 ng/ml) and CSF (0.9 to 2.26 ng/ml) levels were satisfactory and correlated with a good clinical result. Since the tolerance of the drug was excellent, clonazepam appears to be as useful as diazepam in the management of childhood seizures.

[Rod myopathy. A fatal neonatal case].

A new lethal case of nemaline myopathy is reported. Muscle biopsy at 20 days of age permitted the diagnosis but this boy died at the 35th day of life. In a review of the literature (15 similar cases) the authors analyse the diagnostic, histopathogenic, genetic and evolutive aspects of this heterogeneous disorder, apparently less "benign" than previously thought.
