[Subcutaneous fat necrosis after moderate therapeutic hypothermia in two newborns of African origin].

Moderate therapeutic hypothermia (MTH) significantly reduces the risk of death or long-term neurodevelopmental disability. Subcutaneous fat necrosis (SCFN) is a rare particular form of panniculitis in full-term newborns. It can occur in preterm infants with predisposing risk factors (birth asphyxia, gestational diabetes, etc.

[Port-wine stains treated by pulsed-dye laser with sedation: A retrospective observational efficacy and safety in 18 children].

Objective: We sought to determine the efficacy of this approach and the risks of sedation, as well as the level of satisfaction of parents.
