[Primary adrenal insufficiency. Addison's disease].

Addison's disease is due to an insufficiency of corticosuprarrenal hormones to maintain the peripheral needs and its clinical sign is a constitutional syndrome with cutaneous hyperpigmentation and low blood pre-assure. The ethiology has drastically variated in the last century; being the origin almost exclusively tuberculous at the beginning of 1900 and mainly autoimmune actually. Nowadays it is difficult to understand Addison's disease out of the context of autoimmune polyglandular syndromes in view of the frequent association to other endocrinopathies. The present article pretend to realize a vision of the global disease related to these multiple endocrine deficits.

[Late diagnosis of Turner syndrome: therapeutic implications].

We report the case of a patient with Turner's syndrome, whose special peculiarity is that its clinical signs have gone unnoticed despite the presence of several morphological features and functional disorders which must have induced it precociously. It's about a 58 years old patient with an aortic metalic valve in treatment with dicumarinics, who came to emergencies with a severe anemic syndrome because of a peptic ulcer propitiated by the hypoprotrombinaemia. In the physical examination some typical signs of the syndrome were detected. The karyotype verified the existance of Turner (45X0). We insist on the need of an early diagnosis, in order to prevent the short stature and to offer a satisfactory sexual development, and we include an actualization of the different approachments in the therapy and management of the disease.

The last important aspect is home care of terminal patients whose the hospitable assistance is not beneficial as soon as the family support.

[Aortic dissection: false negative results of aortography and thoracic CAT, report of a case].

Acute dissection of the aorta is a relatively frequent clinical entity, with a poor prognosis and a global mortality of 40% during the first 48 hours. A correct diagnosis and an early surgical treatment may modify the natural course of the dissection of aorta. We present a case of a patient with high clinical suspicion in the aortography, thoraci CAT and transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE). However, it was not possible to establish the diagnosis. The transesophagic echocardiogram (TEE), on the contrary, suggested the presence of dissection of aorta, as was later verified in the necropsis methods, seems to support the TEE as the first election method in the dissection of aorta.
