Gastric outlet obstruction in chronic granulomatous disease of childhood.

A patient was diagnosed with gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) 17 months after the neonatal diagnosis of chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). Gastric outlet obstruction was the first clinical manifestation of CGD in this patient. Twenty-three percent of the 17 patients with GOO complicating CGD described in the literature were found to present with GOO before any other clinical manifestations of CGD. The diagnosis of GOO can be established by ultrasound and, if necessary, upper gastrointestinal roentgenogram or gastroscopy. A nonsurgical approach to management is suggested. The diagnosis of CGD should be considered in an infant or child who has GOO.

Familial infantile cortical hyperostosis: an update.

In 1961, the senior author reported 11 members of one family with infantile cortical hyperostosis. Since then, 10 new cases have occurred in this family resulting in a total of 21 cases. The incidence of infantile cortical hyperostosis in this family is as common today as it was two generations ago, and there has been no diminution in the incidence. Several patients with minimal or no clinical symptoms would have gone unrecognized had it not been for the family history of the disorder. On the basis of this study, infantile cortical hyperostosis is inherited as an autosomal dominant with variable penetrance.

Adrenal hemorrhage in the newborn. The phenomenon of "enclosed" hemorrhage as a cause of neonatal jaundice and later adrenal calcifications.

In an infant with unexplained hyperbilirubinemia, abdominal mass and a fall in hematocrit, an IVP with total body opacification should be considered so that the diagnosis of adrenal hemorrhage, which is almost always a benign conditions, may be made. Follow-up abdominal films at 3 months of age may further substantiate the etiology by revealing calcifications in the involved areas.
