[Megacalycosis diagnosed during the study of antenatal hydronephrosis].

We describe a case of megacalycosis in a newborn female with a probable antenatal ultrasonographic diagnosis of left multicystic dysplastic kidney. Uroradiology, ultrasonography and nuclear medicine studies were performed and diagnosis was established by excretory urogram. We have found only one previously published case of megacalycosis in which diagnosis was made during the postnatal study of antenatal hydronephrosis. Megacalycosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of prenatal hydronephrosis.

[Phenotype heterogeneity in Gitelman's syndrome].

A family with three offspring affected of Giltelman's syndrome is reported. The phenotypic variability of this entity is emphasized. Moreover, the diagnosis criteria of the syndrome, phathophysiology, and genetics and clinical differences with Bartter's syndrome are stated.

[Neurocutaneous melanosis].

Neurocutaneous melanosis (NCM) is a rare congenital syndrome characterized by large or multiple congenital melanocytic nevi and excessive proliferation of melanotic cells in the leptomeninges. We report the case of a girl with a giant hairy nevus and numerous small nevi since birth. Within the first 2 years of life she developed clinical features of increased intracranial pressure and West s syndrome. At 2 years of age she presented a right facial palsy and myelopathy. Brain and spinal magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated meningeal infiltration. Diagnosis of NCM was established by a detailed cytologic analyses of the cerebrospinal fluid that revealed melanocytic cells. She received palliative treatment. The girl died 2 months after. Patients with large or multiple congenital melanocytic nevi should be carefully followed up with clinical examination and neuroimaging to detect NCM. At present there is no curative treatment. The association of NCM and West s syndrome has not been previously described.

Early neonatal cutaneous candidiasis.

A premature female presented cutaneous lesions caused by Candida albicans at 12 h after delivery. Her mother carried Candida in the vagina. The lesions extended to face, both sides of the trunk and extremities, including palms and soles, and later to the mouth. The cutaneous manifestations healed in four weeks. It is proposed to use the term "early neonatal cutaneous candidiasis" to designate the forms of candidiasis which appear within the first hours after delivery, and "congenital cutaneous candidiasis" when lesions are present at delivery.

[Serum theophylline levels after oral administration in a group of asthmatic children].

Serum levels of theophylline were determined in 54 asthmatics children aged 3,92 +/- 2,45 years, who were taken oral theophylline at doses of 4,99 +/- 0,45 mg. The serum levels at 0 hours (9,22 +/- 4,90 mcg/ml) and at 2 hours (15,22 +/- 5,5 mcg/ml) showed a great variation, although they were taken similar doses. Two hours after ingestion, 34 patients showed levels between 10-20 mcg/ml in 10 children were less than 10 mcg/ml, and another 10 shown serum levels over 20 mcg/ml without symptoms. There was a good correlation between levels at 0 and 2 hours (p less than 0,002). These data may support the utility of doses employed. It is advisable knowing the individual response to theophylline for managing episodes of asthma in children, that can be made by only one determination 2 hours after ingestion.
