[Congenital anomalies of the central nervous system 1990-1993].
We have analyzed all available data including birth certificates, maternity records, pediatric records, and pathology reports of spontaneous and induced abortions and newborn deaths to determine the frequency of congenital anomalies of the central nervous system. We found 76 infants (34 males, 39 females and 3 of undetermined sex) with CNS anomalies during the 1990-93 period. In the same period there were 23,425 births. The frequency of CNS anomalies in this period was 32,4/10,000 births. These results are at variance with conclusions of previously published and incomprehensive studies in Croatia. Therefore, a systematic follow-up of the autopsy findings of induced and spontaneous abortions and newborn deaths in the epidemiology of CNS anomalies is clearly needed.

[Elephantiasis of the vulva of an unclear etiology: case report].
A patient with vulvar elephantiasis, which had been developing since 1985 when biopsy was first performed showing only signs of chronic inflammation, is described. From 1985-1987 (when she was first admitted to the hospital) microbiological analyses were negative and antibiotic therapy was administered without success. At the first admittance abscess of the left Bartholin's gland and furunculosis of vulva were diagnosed. Serological tests to agents that usually cause vulval infections with elephantiasis were negative, and microbiological analyses revealed mixed bacterial flora. Biopsy showed again only nonspecific chronic inflammation. The patient received ampicyllin, oxytetracyclin and doxycillin. She did not return for the control until 1993. At that time the vulvar mass reached 16:13:10 cm and was surgically removed. The histological picture showed chronic granulomatous inflammation. The results of microbiological and serological tests were again the same as before.
