ABSTRACT
La presencia de vasa previa es una afección poco frecuente en la que los vasos fetales atraviesan las membranas amnióticas por encima del cuello del útero y por debajo de la presentación fetal. Asocia una mortalidad elevada debida a la exanguinación fetal producida por el desgarro de los vasos fetales al romperse las membranas amnióticas. El diagnóstico prenatal puede disminuir significativamente la tasa de mortalidad, pero requiere un alto índice de sospecha. Por este motivo, aquellas mujeres embarazadas que presenten factores de riesgo de vasa previa deben ser exploradas con ecografía transvaginal y Doppler color. Si se confirma el diagnóstico, está indicada la realización de una cesárea electiva y una enérgica reanimación del recién nacido. Presentamos el caso de un recién nacido que nace en parada cardiorrespiratoria que no revierte, pese a una enérgica reanimación, debido a la rotura de un vasa previa no diagnosticado
Vasa praevia is a rare condition in which the foetal blood vessels cross the foetal membranes of the lower segment of the uterus below the presenting part. It has a high foetal mortality due to foetal exsanguination resulting from foetal vessels tearing when the membranes rupture. Prenatal diagnosis can reduce or even prevent foetal mortality, but it requires a high level of suspicion. For this reason, pregnant women with risk factors of vasa praevia should be examined using transvaginal ultrasound in combination with colour Doppler, and if the diagnosis is made, elective delivery by caesarean and aggressive resuscitation of the new born is indicated

Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis is a rare disease of unknown etiology that mainly affects children. We present a retrospective review of the medical records of five patients with a diagnosis of chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis in an infectious diseases clinic at a tertiary center. We describe the epidemiological, clinical and radiological features, laboratory, microbiological and histological findings, treatment, course and prognosis in these patients. There is no specific treatment for chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis. There are new treatment options such the combination of azithromycin and calcitonin in children without clinical improvement with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

La osteomielitis crónica multifocal recurrente es una enfermedad rara, de etiología no conocida, que afecta principalmente a niños. Se presenta una revisión retrospectiva de las historias clínicas de 5 pacientes con diagnóstico de osteomielitis crónica multifocal recurrente de una consulta de infecciosas de un hospital terciario. Se describen los datos epidemiológicos, síntomas, hallazgos radiológicos, analíticos, microbiológicos y anatomopatológicos, tratamiento y evolución. No hay un tratamiento específico para la osteomielitis crónica multifocal recurrente, existen nuevas alternativas de tratamiento como la combinación de azitromicina y calcitonina para niños sin una mejoría clínica con el uso de antiinflamatorios no esteroideos
