Lymphangiomatosis with splenic involvement.

Severe splenomegaly and anemia developed in a 5-year-old girl with diffuse lymphangiomatosis of the upper part of the body. Radioisotope scanning and celiac angiography demonstrated lymphangiomatosis of the spleen, a rare but diagnosable condition. Intractable infection in areas of ulcerated skin led to her death from overwhelming sepsis.

Congenital malformations in four siblings of a mother taking anticonvulsant drugs.

Four siblings have various congenital malformations attributable to the teratogenic effect of anticonvulsant drugs. Their mother has 23-year history of continuous medication for seizures. Since the malformations noted in her four offspring are more extensive and severe in each subsequent child, the question arises as to the possible cumulative effect of antiepileptic drugs in producing congenital malformations. The observations in this family strongly support the need to carefully evaluate all offspring of mothers receiving anticonvulsant drugs.

Reconstruction of upper cervical esophagus.

We describe a surgical technique for reconstruction of the upper cervical esophagus after a segment has been excised. The technique involves the downward rotation of a full thickness pharyngeal flap to close the defect. The flap is obtained from the posterior wall of the hypopharynx and oropharynx. We describe a case in which this technique was used.

A case of maternal hyperparathyroidism presenting as neonatal tetany.

A three-week-old infant presented with tetany and with serum calcium and phosphate levels compatible with the diagnosis of hypoparathyroidism. Investigation of the asymptomatic mother revealed serum calcium and phosphate levels and urinary phosphate clearance values diagnostic of hyperparathyroidism. The maternal hyperparathyroidism was treated by removal of a parathyroid adenoma.
