[Cerebral pachygyria and congenital cytomegalovirus infection: about one observation]

We report a case of a new born admitted for convulsions. The cranial magnetic resonance imaging showed pachygyria. Caryotype was normal, a congenital cytomegalovirus infection was diagnosed. The children decease at the age of two months

[Congenital short small intestine. a new case study]

Backgrounds: Congenital short bowel syndrome associated with malrotation and intestinal dysmotility is a rare condition. We describe a new case of this syndrome without malrotation

Case report: Mootez is born from consanguineous parents without any familial histories. He presented with bilious vomiting at the age of ten days. The radiological exams show no sign of intestinal obstruction. Laparotomy revealed a short small bowel measuring 40 cm without malrotation. The appendice showed no anatomopathologic abnormalities. After surgery, recurrent bilious vomiting persist. He died at tow months of age from severe denutrition

Conclusion: a precocious clinical onset and intestinal dysmotility seem to be associated with a poor prognosis. The cause of congenital short small intestine is not known. A recessive inheritance is suggested
