[McKusick-Kaufman syndrome in a new born girl (author's transl)].

In a newborn, the presence of an abdominal tumor due to hydrocolpos resulting from vaginal atresia, with polydactyly and a congenital heart disease suggest the diagnosis of McKusick-Kaufman syndrome. This syndrome is different from the Ellis Van Creveld syndrome, which also includes polydactyly and congenital heart disease, associated with "chondrodysplasia' and "ectodermodysplasia'.

[Autochtonous kala-azar (author's transl)].

Kala-Azar or visceral "leishmanisis" is a Mediterranean parasitosis. Outside this area, the reported cases concern children having lived in an endemic area. Real autochtonous Kala-Azar is really exceptional in France. The authors report a case in a 18 month-old child, who had never left the city of Brest. The authors study similar observations in the literature, including an analysis of the different modes of transmission in such cases.

[Postaxial polydactyly in a female neonate associated with hydrocolpos due to vaginal atresia and with a congenital cardiopathy: the McKusick-Kaufman syndrome].

The existence in a new-born child of post-axial polydactyly, associated with an abdominal tumor due to hydrocolpos, because of a low vaginal atresia, and with congenital heart-disease, recalls the diagnosis of the McKusick-Kaufman syndrome. This syndrome must be differentiated from the Ellis-Van Creveld syndrome, which also includes polydactyly and congenital heart disease, associated with a "chondrodysplasis" and an "ectodermodysplasia".
