RESUMO
One case of "campomélique" dysplasia discovered by echography at 17 weeks is reported. The details of the syndrome are recalled. In this particular case, only the histology enabled the exact diagnosis to be made. The distinction between "syndrome campomélique" and other syndromes involving deformation of long bones (imperfect osteogenesis of the foetal type and isolated curvature of the tibia) is not easy during early pregnancy using echography alone. At a later stage, the signs and symptoms become more distinct and an exact diagnosis is probably easier.

A 12-year-old boy developed complete right hemiplegia and 7th cranial nerve palsy 2 days after laparotomy for a perforated appendix. Full recovery took 2 months. Although it can be accepted that the hemiparesis was not caused by acute appendicitis it is postulated that this unusual association was due either to a septic embolus which lodged in the region of the internal capsule or to a minor cerebrovascular accident.
