ABSTRACT
Morquio syndrome is a rare lysosomal storage disease that affects multiple organ systems. However, it is rarely associated with malignancy. We present the case of a 30-year old man with Morquio syndrome associated with gastric adenocarcinoma. This case also demonstrates two other findings that have not been previously described in patients with Morquio syndrome - malrotation of brainstem and cerebellum, without clinical neurologic deficit, and persistence of fetal lobulation in the kidneys.

La encefalitis de Bickerstaff es una entidad infrecuente de origen posinfeccioso, de presentación grave y con un curso clínico generalmente benigno, cuya diferenciacióncon el síndrome de Fisher aún no es clara y su asociación con el síndrome de Guillain - Barré está ya establecida. Presentamos dos casos atendidos en el Hospital Universitario San Ignacio...
Bickerstaff encephalitis is a rare post-infectious origin disease, with an acute severe presentation form, but generally with a benign course, its differentiation from Fisher syndrome is unclear, and its association with Guillain - Barre syndrome is alreadyestablished. We report two cases treated at the Hospital Universitario San Ignacio...

O crescimento do tronco encefálico foi estudado em 30 fetos humanos estadiados, usando o método alométrico Log Y = K Log X + Log b. Foi utilizado o peso do tronco encefálico (g), correlacionado com os parâmetros fetais de crescimento: idade gestacional (spc), comprimento vértex-cóccix (mm) e peso do feto (g). Os resultados demonstram que o tronco encefálico cresce com alometria negativa no período fetal. Este estudo é de grande importância para a detecçäo de anomalias congênitas do tronco encefálico, bem como na determinaçäo da idade gestacional

A 47-year-old man had suffered oscillopsia associated with palatal myoclonus for 10 years. High-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a cryptic vascular malformation within the "Guillain-Mollaret triangle" which was thought to be the responsible lesion.
