摘要:

AbstractAcute cholecystitis in children is a rare disease which has been associated with haemolytic anaemias, intercurrent illness and congenital anomalies. Acute inflammation and distension of the gall bladder in infancy is very rare and the underlying cause is usually not identified. This study describes two infants presenting with acute acalculous cholecystitis with marked distension of the gall bladder. It is stressed that this entity must be taken into account in the differential diagnosis when there is a palpable mass and/or tenderness in the right abdomen, particularly in the presence of intercurrent illness. Early operation is recommended and cholecystectomy is the preferred procedure.

AbstractA child is reported whose alpha‐1 ‐antitrypsin phenotype is SZ and who has chronic cholestatic liver disease that began in the neonatal period. Liver biopsy demonstrated paucity of the interlobular bile ducts, marked hepatocellular deposition in periportal areas of PAS‐positive, diastase‐resistant granules, and bridging portal fibrosis. The association of paucity of the interlobular bile ducts with SZ phenotype alpha‐1‐antitrypsin deficiency has not been reported

摘要:

AbstractA case of pneumococcal meningitis complicated by brain‐stem herniation and flaccid quadriplegia is described, from which the patient, an 11 year old boy, made a partial recovery. The patient had suffered a head injury with skull fracture some years previously; this was his third episode of meningitis. The aetiology of the quadriplegia has not been fully established, but is presumed to be of vascular nature at spinal cord level, associated with an acute hypotensive episode. Preventative aspects of recurrent bacterial meningitis and brain‐stem herniation following lumbar puncture are stres
