[Slipped capital femoral epiphysis associated with hyperparathyroidism. A case report].
Slippage of the upper femoral epiphysis can occur in association with multiple endocrine imbalances. A case of slipped femoral epiphysis with primary hyperparathyroidism is reported. The patient was an adolescent, 16 Years of age, who presented bilateral slipped epiphysis. Investigation showed that he had hypercalcemia (3.1 mmol/l) related to primary hyperparathyroidism. A parathyroid adenoma was removed. Outcome was favorable and the slipped femoral epiphyses did not require a specific treatment.

[Suprasellar germinoma: two case reports].
Suprasellar germinomas are frequent in childhood and adolescence, particularly in male sex. The clinical and neuroendocrine abnormalities depend of tumor localization: Increased intracranial pressure, visual disturbances, hypopituitarism, Parinaud syndrome. We report two cases of suprasellar germinoma in young male patients (16 and 18 years old). The first patient hrad corticotorpin insufficiency and clinical signs of hypothyroïdism and hypogonadism. The second had central hypocorticism, hypothyroïdism and hypogonadism associated with central diabetes insipidus and hyperprolactinemia. The diagnosis of germinoma was confirmed after surgery by anatomopathologic examination in the first case and by stereotaxic biopsy in the second case. Treatment by radiotherapy improves prognosis of this disease.
