The Brachmann-de Lange syndrome. A case report.

The features of the Brachmann-de Lange syndrome are characteristic enough for diagnosis to be made at birth. It is associated with severe physical and mental retardation and its aetiology is obscure, but the syndrome may be heterogenous. Several cases in siblings have been reported, but the case described here appears to be sporadic.

Juvenile-type granulosa theca cell tumour producing precocious pseudopuberty. A case report.

The juvenile-type of granulosa theca cell tumour in a young girl is reported. The child presented with pain, vaginal bleeding, distension of the abdomen and enlarged breasts and exhibited pubic and axillary hair, i.e. signs of oestrogenic and androgenic effects and overproduction of luteinizing hormone--an unusual phenomenon. Discussion includes the differences between the juvenile and adult types of this tumour. Salpingo-oophorectomy of the affected side is recommended in such cases. A recurrence many years after surgery has been reported, so long-term follow-up is envisaged in this case.

Congenital dislocation of the knee. A report of 5 cases.

Reports on 3 infants who suffered from congenital dislocation of the knee and 2 with genu recurvatum deformity are presented. The theory that abnormal intra-uterine fetal position may cause these deformities has gained support over previous concepts, as demonstrated by the baby born by caesarean section.

Subcutaneous and mediastinal emphysema following respiratory tract complications in measles.

Three cases of subcutaneous emphysema and 1 of subcutaneous and mediastinal emphysema following the bronchopneumonia and upper respiratory tract infection so common in measles are presented. This is a rare complication which occurred in only 0,59% of our measles patients during a period of 3 years, in spite of the fact that many of them had severe respiratory tract involvement. The pathogenesis and management of this type of emphysema in measles are discussed and the role of tracheotomy which can be helpful when airway obstruction is severe, is indicated.

Cryptococcus neoformans meningitis: a case report.

A 4-year-old Motswana boy suffered from cryptococcal meningitis; in addition to the signs of meningeal irritation, he had cortical blindness and seventh cranial nerve palsy. The child improved after treatment with amphotericin B and 5-fluorocytosine. It is suggested that this combination may be better than either drug used alone.
