[The acrodynic form of the Riley-Day syndrome].

The authors report the case of a 10-year-old girl who died after suffering from severe erythromelalgia combined with digestive and general disorders associated with multiple vegetative disturbances (high blood pressure, hypothermia, colic and urinary disorders, raised catecholamine levels) for 2 years. Although the appearance of the tongue was normal and in spite of the absence of genetic criteria the diagnosis of Riley-Day dysautonomia was made and its association with neural crest disorders was indicated.

Three unusual cases of spinal cord injury in childhood.

Three cases of unusual traumatic spinal cord injuries are reported. The cases were referred to the neurosurgical unit of Nancy, one tetraplegia and one paraplegia caused by transfixing wounds which were overlooked after the injury. The transfixing wound caused an associated meningitis with tetraplegia, and in the second case the initial small plural effusion associated with paraplegia even, in a very short while, evoked a possible diagnosis of leukaemia amongst others, until the knowledge of trauma had been ascertained, the child being then immediately transferred to the neurosurgical unit. Spanking, in the last case, was the cause of an important luxation of T12-L1, at first with a complete paraplegia, and was associated with the fact that the child was only seen a few days after by a doctor and immediately referred. The child made a full recovery from his paraplegia.
