[Bronchopulmonary aspergilloma in children and bronchogenic cyst. A new case].

The authors report a new case of aspergilloma developing in an intra-pulmonary bronchogenic cyst in a girl aged 10 years. A cure was obtained after surgical excision. The possibility of serious complications, such as hemoptysis, abscess formation and spread of the aspergillus, has two consequences; the first is the utility of regular supervision of any intra-pulmonary air cavity and, eventually, surgical removal. The second is the necessity of operation as soon as the diagnosis of aspergilloma has been made.

[Nanism caused by water deprivation, with transitory growth hormone deficiency].

Report of a case of a girl admitted for alcoholic poisoning then for a toxic syndrome with considerable hypernatremia. Clinical examination showed a dwarfism (-4 S.D.) with break of the growth curve and bone-age retardation. History revealed cruelty and thirsting since the age of 2 years. Isolated somatotropin insufficiency was found. Separation from the family and free drinking induced a spectacular recovery of growth and normalization of growth hormone level. The relative role and relationships between growth hormone deficiency and chronic dehydration due to water deprivation in the physiopathology of dwarfism due to frustration are discussed.
