Goldenhar syndrome is a rare congenital disease, affecting many organs including the craniofacial region. Its etiology still remains uncertain. We describe a case of Goldenhar syndrome in a 12-month-old infant with craniofacial involvement.This anatomical-clinical entity gives rise to a good clinical examination and a good analysis of the literature in order to make the diagnosis and to plan a treatment in the event of systemic involvement.
Piringer Kuchinka lymphadenitis or toxoplasmic lymphadenitis is diagnosed histologically and confirmed by serological tests. Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic infection caused by an opportunistic protozoan: Toxoplasma gondii, often asymptomatic in the immunocompetent subject, without recourse to specific treatment. We report a case of Piringer Kuchinka adenitis revealing active toxoplasmosis in an immunocompetent child.
Introduction: Central retinal artery occlusion is a pathology of the elderly, rarely in childhood, requiring an exhaustive etiological assessment in order to indicate a treatment to preserve the functional prognosis of the eye.
Observation: We report the case of a central retinal artery occlusion in a 4 year old boy, who had no pathological history, discovred at a sudden loss of vision in the right eye aggravated to the blindness. The ophthalmological examination revealed the central retinal artery occlusion. The etiological assessment showed a hypoplasia of the right internal carotid artery associated with agenesis of the ophthalmic artery and the posterior communicating artery.
Conclusion: the etiology of the occlusion of the central retinal artery occlusion is very variable, the treatment and the prognosis depend on the etiology.
