[Intracranial Hemangiopericytoma in a newborn (author's transl)].

Report of a large, congenital hemangiopericytoma in a male neonate. The classification of these tumours is discussed. This is the first case, to date, of a tumour of this size, found intracranially.

Further delineation of the C (trigonocephaly) syndrome.

This communication brings the number of recognized cases of the C (trigonocephaly) syndrome to 11. The pattern of findings includes an anomaly of the anterior cranium and frontal cortex (trigonocephaly), the root of the nose (broad nasal bridge, epicanthus, and short nose), and palate (thick anterior alveolar ridges); abnormalities of the limbs (polysyndactyly, bridged palmar creases, short limbs, and joint dislocations and/or contractures); visceral defects (congenital heart defects, cryptorchidism, and abnormal lobulations of the lungs and kidneys). Auricular, mandibular, skin, and genital abnormalities also occur.

[Prophylactic examination of infants (author's transl)].

In the mid sixties a medical work group developed a prophylactic programme for children which provided for repeated checkups to detect particularly those defects which are likely to seriously jeopardise the physical and mental development of the child. For the selection of the checkup dates that age of the child was decisive in which it was possible to inspect certain functional events. Since such examination programmes had to cover an entire class, a prerequisite to be met was to choose an as large a number of examiners as possible.
