[Megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome: a case of prolonged survival].

Megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome is a multisystemic disorder in which impaired intestinal motor activity causes recurrent symptoms of intestinal obstruction in the absence of mechanical occlusion, associated with bladder distention without distal obstruction of the urinary tract. It is an uncommon disorder with high morbidity and mortality, and long-term total parenteral nutrition may be required. We describe an 18-year-old girl with long-term survival, followed-up by our service since birth. With medical, surgical and nutritional management she currently presents a good oral tolerance and good quality of life, only requiring parenteral nutrition during periods of decompensation.

[Comparison of the determination of azotorrhea and steatorrhea in cystic fibrosis of the pancreas].

Steatorrhea and azotorrhea are evaluated, by Van de Kamer and Kjendalh methods, in 24 patients affected by cystic fibrosis in the diagnosis and in their evolution. High values were obtained for steatorrhea in 87.5% of the cases and for azotorrhea in the 79.1% at the moment of diagnosis. Steatorrhea and azotorrhea have been correlated obtaining a high statistic significant for p less than 0.01 in the diagnosis and in patients who followed treatment with the same medication, not being significative for all patients during their evolution. With results obtained, determination of fecal nitrogen, is positively evaluated not only in the diagnosis but also in the evolution of these patients to obtain an optimum nutritious condition.

[Height alterations and calcium metabolism after prolongated phenobarbital treatment (author's transl)].

In order to know if small children subjected to a long-term treatment with phenobarbital can suffer some alterations in their lineal growth or in their osseous maturity in the same way as those showed by epileptical mother's sons, 85 patients between six months and three years old, who had suffered fit convulsions during a fever process, 20 of them subjected to antithermic treatment, and the 65 left who received a phenobarbital treatment in doses of 5 mg./kg./day have been controlled. In each child, at the beginning of the control and after 12 months, their height, diaphysial diameter and cortical thickness of the metacarpal bones, and bone age is valued. At the same time a calcium, phosphorous and phosphatase-alcaline control was done. The group who had received anti-convulsivants drugs, showed a significant decrease in their lineal growth and in calcium concentration in blood. The control group didn't present any significant variation in any of the controls performed.
