[Anthropometric characteristics of adolescents with primary epiphysiolysis].

The authors have studied five cases of adolescents, four girls and one boy, affected of slipped capital femoral epiphysis, aged between twelve and fourteen years. They describe some clinical particularities and the analytical findings. The anthropometrical studies confirm that slipped capital femoral epiphysis is an entity observed in adolescents with overweight and obesity. The parameter showing fat, at the braquial and body level, are over two standard deviation of the local normal patterns.

[Peptic ulcer in children (7 cases). Importance of fiberendoscopy (author's transl)].

The authors studied 7 cases of peptic ulcers (2 gastric and 5 duodenals) in patients whose ages ranged between 3 and 13 4/12 years. They represented 0.5% of hospital inpatients. A history of acetyl salicilic acid ingestion was present in 3 of the cases. In 2 of the cases emotional factors were associated. Initial symptoms were distributed as follows: abdominal (4), hematemesis (2) and melena (1). The clinical course was favorable for 5 of the patients; in one of them signs of bulboduodenitis became evident in the fourth month; in another one the clinical signs persisted and a new ulcer appeared 4 months after the initial diagnosis. High levels of gastrin were found in this case. The importance of gastroduodenal fiberendoscopy in infancy for the diagnosis, histological confirmation and follow-up of peptic ulcer is emphasized.

[Magnetic resonance in Hallevorden-Spatz disease].

The Hallevorden-Spatz disease should be suspected in children or young people with motor, pyramidal or extrapyramidal symptomatology and deterioration of superior functions specially upon the existence of family history. Pathognomonic diagnosis may only be obtained by necropsy but magnetic resonance images, although not pathognomic, are sufficiently characteristics to strongly support the diagnosis. Four cases of Hallevorden-Spatz disease are presented with special emphasis on the MR images characteristic of this disease.
