Currarino syndrome and microcephaly due to a rare 7q36.2 microdeletion: a case report.

Background: Currarino syndrome is a rare condition characterized by presacral mass, anorectal malformation and sacral dysgenesis.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a child that presented chronic constipation, encopresis and mycrocephaly. The characteristics were initially compatible with a case of functional constipation and a therapy with polyethylene glycol was prescribed.

[Intramedullary neuroenteric cyst simulating Sandifer's syndrome].

We report the case of a child with frequent episodes of arms and neck hypertonia and regurgitation. These characteristics, associated with an esophagitis, suggested the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (Sandifer syndrome?). Because after an appropriate therapy the symptoms didn't disappear, a neurological disorder was suspected: MRI showed two bulky intramedullary cysts.
