Pseudohypoaldosteronism (PHA) due to obstructive uropathy, urinary tract infections and congenital urogenital malformations has been reported in the literature; however, there are no reports of PHA associated with hydrometrocolpos due to a common urogenital tract. Hydrometrocolpos is a condition resulting in distension of the vagina and uterus due to accumulation of secretions (other than blood), caused by increased oestrogenic stimulation and vaginal outflow obstruction. We report on a neonatal case of PHA caused by recurrent hydrometrocolpos presenting with vomiting and poor weight gain. There was significant hyponatraemia, hyperkalaemia, and anaemia requiring medical stabilisation prior to surgery. The mechanism by which PHA occurs in obstruction involves renal tubular dysfunction due to pressure from hydronephrosis and the release of intrarenal cytokines. In addition, there is an immature or resistant renal tubular responsiveness to aldosterone during infancy. Clinicians should be aware of this uncommon but serious presentation.

Poor Weight Gain

Infections, tumors, nutshells, and foreign bodies may all be seen clinically as unusual lesions of the palate in children.1,2 We describe the case of an infant girl who had a palatal lesion, eventually determined to be secondary to a scald burn. We emphasize this case because the eventual diagnosis was not considered until almost 2 months after the patient was first seen, at which time additional history was elicited. CASE REPORT C.P. was a 4-month-old girl referred to our hospital for evaluation and treatment of poor weight gain with a palatal lesion. She was delivered by cesarean section for cephalopelvic disproportion after an uncomplicated fullterm pregnancy; her birth weight was 3,820 g (90th percentile).

Poor Weight Gain

Triploidy (69 chromosomes) is found in as many as 12% of karyotyped spontaneous first trimester abortuses, but it is rare in live-born infants.1 The longest reported survival of an infant with complete triploidy is seven months.2 Multiple anomalies, poor weight gain, and neurodevelopmental arrest are characteristic of the few reported liveborn infants.2-5 The uniformly dismal outcome of these infants has been considered a contraindication for the use of extraordinary support, eg, mechanical ventilation, once the diagnosis is established. However, ethical issues concerning the treatment of such severely handicapped children are subjects of continuing controversy. The present report describes the course of a male infant with complete triploidy; his survival was artificially prolonged for four months in accordance with parental religious beliefs.

Six cases of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) treated with L-Dopa have been described in the literature1-3 but no substantial follow-up is available regarding the surviving patients. We treated a young girl in HE with L-Dopa and have had an 18-month follow-up to date. Case Report A. 13-year-old Negro girl with a one-year history of recurrent urinary tract infections was admitted with anasarca and ascites. She was normotensive and neurologically stable. Hematuria was observed but serum electrolytes, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine levels were normal.
