Early psychomotor therapy in very preterm infants does not improve Bayley-III scales at 2 years.

Aim: To assess the efficacy of post-hospital psychomotor therapy in the development of very preterm infants at nine and 24 months.

Methods: We conducted a randomised controlled study at Toulouse Children's Hospital between 2008 and 2014 among preterm infants aged under 30 weeks. All infants in both groups could benefitt from physiotherapy to prevent motor disorders.

Tetralogy of Fallot with critical biventricular dysfunction: is surgical correction achievable?

We describe the case of a 32-month-old patient from a developing country with tetralogy of Fallot associated with a severe biventricular dysfunction. This association is rare but makes the surgical strategy complex and potentially contraindicated. An acute severe hypoxic episode led us to perform palliative rescue intervention involving the placement of an undersized systemic-to-pulmonary shunt.
