Abstract

The purpose of this study was to prospectively study inpatients admitted for failure to thrive during their first year of life. Twelve infants with failure to thrive were studied and compared with 17 healthy controls. Mothers and infants with nonorganic failure to thrive scored lower on the Nursing Child Assessment Feeding Scale, reported more change in their lives, and less social support. The need for further research is discussed and suggestions for beginning level interventions are made.

Severe, recurrent hiatal hernia in Schwartz syndrome.

An 18 months old boy presented with marked failure to thrive, abnormal facial grimacing and troublesome vomiting. The patient was diagnosed as having Schwartz syndrome with hiatal hernia. Medical and surgical treatment was carried out and with supportive care the patient gained weight and his symptoms subsided. In 8 months, however, the patient developed hernia on the other side necessitating repeat surgery. The case is being reported to highlight the accompaniment of hiatal hernia not previously reported as part of the syndrome and to report the experience of using muscle relaxants in the condition.
