[Peripheral facial paralysis and HIV infection. 2 case reports].

Two cases of peripheral facial paralysis in subjects with HIV infection are reported. On the basis of these two cases and data from the literature, the clinical and paraclinical features of this facial nerve lesion are described. The various aetiological hypotheses put forward are discussed, but it is probable that the paralysis results from a direct effect of the virus on the nerve. HIV-associated peripheral facial paralysis may occur irrespective of the number of CD4 lymphocytes and does not seem to have a prognostic significance. However, it appears by preference in stages I, II and III and may then reveal the HIV infection.

[Neonatal primary hyperparathyroidism caused by clear cell hyperplasia].

Neonatal primary hyperparathyroidism is rare but must be evoke during respiratory distress with thoracic deformity and hypercalcemia. The plasma immunoreactive parathyroid hormone level allows the diagnostic. This case, with diffuse hyperplasia of water-clear cells type, develops rickets of vitamin D deficiency before surgery. A large parathyroidectomy (7/8) was performed and the child is normo-calcemic 2 years after. The time of surgery is function of calcium level.
