[Rothmund-Thompson syndrome with glaucoma. Endocrine study].

Two cases of Rothmund-Thomson syndrome in siblings are described. The elder patient, whose case was best documented and who was followed for several years, had the characteristic skin changes of poikiloderma congenitale with small stature and mental deficiency. Upon ophthalmologic examination, this patient was shown to have bilateral glaucoma which was treated surgically, while the cataract typically found in Rothmund-Thomson syndrome was lacking. Primary hypogonadism was confirmed by endocrinologic investigations; anterior pituitary hormones were normally released. With reference to this observation differential diagnosis is discussed; the medical literature is reviewed.

[Purulent pericarditis with a subacute constrictive course. Apropos of a case. Review of the literature].

A case of purulent pericarditis due to Hemophilus influenzae is reported. In spite of management by antibiotics and pericardial drainage, the disease ran a subacute course towards pericardial constriction. Fifty-two previously reported cases are reviewed. The most important clinical and paraclinical features are analyzed. Emphasis is put on the factors which promote subacute pericardial constriction.
