ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: The occurrence of benign seizures in association with viral gastroenteritis without dehydration or fever is well recognized in Asia, but it is virtually unknown in other parts of the world. This is a benign process that does not lead to a greater risk of epilepsy or developmental deterioration. CASE REPORTS: We describe two infants who were admitted to our department over a 1-year period with acute convulsions and mild gastroenteritis. The seizures were brief and did not recur after the first day. In both cases the outcome was excellent. CONCLUSIONS: This entity does not appear exclusively in Asia and its frequency may have been underestimated in Spain. This diagnosis should be borne in mind in patients with gastroenteritis and seizures to avoid intensive and/or prolonged antiepileptic treatment.

Introducción: La presentación de convulsiones benignas durante una gastroenteritis leve sin deshidratación ni fiebre es una asociación descrita con relativa frecuencia en Asia. Sin embargo, son escasas las referencias al tema fuera de dicho continente. Se trata de un proceso benigno que no implica un mayor riesgo de epilepsia ni de deterioro neuropsíquico. Casos clínicos: Se describe el caso de dos niñas ingresadas en nuestro departamento en el último año por presentar convulsiones durante una gastroenteritis leve. En ambos casos las crisis fueron autolimitadas y la evolución benigna. Conclusiones: Esta entidad no se presenta exclusivamente en Asia y es probable que sea más frecuente en nuestro medio de lo que se ha comunicado. Es importante tenerla presente ante un paciente con gastroenteritis y crisis convulsivas con el fin de evitar un tratamiento antiepiléptico agresivo y/o prolongado

El motivo de esta publicación es comentar la secuencia clínica del caso de una niña de seis años con sordera neurosensorial bilateral profunda y tardía (poslocutiva), después de una infección congénita por citomegalo-virus (CMV) sin aparentes secuelas neurológicas. Analizamos las posibilidades de identificación de los defectos auditivos en el seguimiento de los pacientes de alto riesgo por los pediatras y resumimos brevemente los criterios actuales de selección de los candidatos a implante coclear en la infancia (AU)

El eritema figurado tipo profundo, es una afección dérmica de etiología desconocida y frecuencia muy limitada, cuya presentación precoz es excepcional. Aportamos una observación de inicio neonatal, que viene a confirmar la presentación característica de las lesiones, su carácter benigno y la falta de respuesta a los diferentes tratamientos propuestos (AU)
