[Hereditary thrombocytopenia-thrombocytopathy with myelofibrosis (author's transl)].

A case of hereditary autosomal recessive thrombocytopenia is reported. Thrombocytopathy is associated with the thrombocytopenia. There is a contrast between the cytologic aspect of poor bone-marrow without any megakaryocyte and the histologic aspect of dense bone-marrow with a normal number of megakaryocytes. Myelofibrosis can explain this discrepancy. The life time of platelets being just a little shortened, the disease is probably due to a lack of bone-marrow production.

[Heterogeneity of bilateral adrenal hemorrhage in newborn infants].

Bilateral adrenal haemorrhage was diagnosed in 3 newborns. Clinical, biological and hormonal features were different in each case: abdominal mass in the first case; hyponatremic dehydration for the two others. This hyponatremic dehydration was related to temporary acute adrenal insufficiency for one newborn while association with medullary necrosis did not allow to assert hypoadrenalism for the other. These three cases emphasize: 1) variability of presentation at onset; 2) heterogeneousness of salt loose syndrome; 3) interest of systematic renal and adrenal exploration in adrenal haemorrhage.
