[Steiner-type neuroapudomatosis presented a pseudo-Hirschsprung disease (author's transl)].

A case of Steiner type neuroapudomatosis presented with a pseudo-Hirschsprung disease in an infant. Secondarily, the facies became typical, while hyperthyrocalcitoninaemia led to the discovery at the age of 2 years and 8 months of a medullary carcinoma of the thyroid. Despite early surgery in the absence of any clinical signs, it was not possible to avoid cervical lymphatic spread.

[The treatment of Crohn's disease in the child. 12 cases (author's transl)].

Therapeutic aspects of Crohn's disease in pediatrics are discussed. New renutrition techniques are pointed out: total parenteral nutrition in 4 cases, and constant rate enteral nutrition in 6 cases (with elemental diet). In association with anti-anflammatory and anti-bacterial drugs results seemed very remarkable: in all cases, dramatic clinical recovery, and even radiologic improvement. In two cases surgery appeared to be defered after more than one year of evolution.

[External fistulas of the small intestines in the newborn infant and child. Medical aspects and digestive resuscitation (19 cases)].

The prognosis in fistulae of the small intestine in the infant and child is totally different according to whether they develop following a simple operation involving the healthy small intestine or multiple or complicated operations on pathological bowel. Under these latter conditions, constant medico-surgical cooperation, modern techniques of renutrition (total parenteral renutrition or constant flow enteral nutrition), together with restoration of water/electrolyte balance and the treatment of infections give increasingly satisfactory results. In a series of 19 children, with 26 enterocutaneous fistulas, deaths were reduced to 4. Independently of recourse to surgery determined by local abdominal conditions (peritonitis, obstruction) or persistence of the fistula, the choice between total parenteral renutrition and constant flow enteral nutrition (C.F.E.N.) depend essentially upon the site of the fistula. When the latter is proximal the digestive tract may not be used, while C.F.E.N. may be employed when it is distal, sometimes resulting in cure without further surgery.

[Digestive intolerance to cow's milk proteins in infants. Clinical study of 42 cases].

The criteria chosen for the diagnosis of gastro-intestinal intolerance to cow milk proteins were the following: occurrence of shock or anaphylaxis, reccurrence of gastro-intestinal symptoms as a consequence of repeated trials of reintroduction of cow milk proteins into the diet. Under these conditions the transient forms, including the secondary forms, of intolerance to cow milk, were eliminated. This diagnostic attitude may explain the early appearance of gastro-intestinal disturbances, the higher frequency in infancy than in childhood of the severe forms, characterized by shock, subacute malabsorption, exsudative enteropathy, bloody diarrhea, the authors are describing in their study report.

[Digestive intolerance to cow's milk proteins in infants. Biological and histological study].

Biological and histological studies were performed in 42 cases of gastro-intestinal intolerance to cow's milk proteins. Hypoproteinemia was present in 2/3 of the cases, anemia in 3/4. Malabsorption syndrome (steatorrhea, xylose) was overt in less than 1 patient out of 2. Serum level of vitamin A was more frequently depressed than that of vitamin E and folinic acid. Intestinal biopsy, performed in 32 children, showed consistent abnormalities, a partial atrophy of the villi being most often seen (26 cases). Eosinophilia was present in 50% of the cases. A titer of anti-milk agglutinins of 1/64 or above was always found if the test was performed repeatedly when the diet of the children contained milk. Lymphocyte proliferation in culture, induced by milk proteins, was positive in 70% of the cases. None the less, no biological or histological findings were found to be specific for gastro-intestinal intolerance to milk proteins.
