Primary epiduritis.

Abstract

An infant, born with multiple anomalies of the gastrointestinal tract, required intravenous hyperalimentation for virtually his entire life. His course was characterized by multiple episodes of sepsis or phlebitis, culminating in death five and one-half months after birth. The brain and spinal cord at necropsy were normal on gross inspection. However, microscopic study showed inflammation of the dura surrounding the spinal cord with sparing of the spinal and cerebral subarachnoid spaces.

Plasma concentrations of fat-soluble vitamins A and E in neonates with myelomeningocele.

A group of newborn infants with myelomeningocele was compared with a group of neonates suffering from gastrointestinal malformations and a group of healthy children less than one year of age. The parameters studied were prealbumin, retinol-binding protein and the fat-soluble vitamins A and E. There were no significant differences between the groups in the plasma levels of the proteins or vitamin E. Vitamin A levels in newborn infants with myelomeningocele were found to be significantly lower compared to both the other groups.
