    Notes: Abstract Following genetic counselling of a consanguineous couple because of a daughter born with peripheral hypoplasia of the left arm, ultrasonographic examination during the second pregnancy revealed marked hydrocephalus of the fetus in the 17th week of pregnancy. Pathologic examination of the female fetus disclosed severe cerebral, cardiac, and skeletal malformations including holoprosencephaly, absent corpus callosum, microphthalmia, facial clefts, tetramelic octodactyly, and cardiac defects. These findings indicate a possible genetically determined syndrome that appears to be distinct in spite of some overlap with other malformation syndromes.

    Notes: Abstract A case is described in which the family history and the sonographic findings during the 17th gestational week led to the suspicion of a short-rib-polydactylia syndrome of the Saldino-Noonan type and an abortion was induced. The ultrasound image disclosed cystic structures in the topographic area of the kidney, marked ascites and oligohydramnios and indicated a severe fetal developmental disturbance. Due to the oligohydramnios the extremities could not be interpreted sonographically. The pathological-anatomical findings confirmed the suspected short-rib-polydactylia syndrome of the Saldino-Noonan type. Typical skeletal changes, dysgenetic cystic kidneys and pancreatic fibrosis were especially indicative of the syndrome. The complete agenesia of the islets of Langerhans, present in our observation, has, as far as we know, previously not been reported in the case of short-rib-polydactylia syndromes.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bericht über das 1964 neubeschriebene Syndrom Exomphalos-Makroglossie-Gigantismus an Hand von drei Geschwisterfällen, von denen einer zwischenzeitlich weiterverfolgt und eingehend untersucht werden konnte. Nachweis normaler STH-Ausschüttung, beträchtlicher Hyperlipidämie und einer prädiabetischen Stoffwechsellage. Vergleichende Betrachtung des sog. cerebralen Gigantismus und besonders der konnatalen generalisierten Lipodystrophie, die in verschiedenen Spielarten (kongenitale generalisierte Muskelhypertrophie, konnatale progressive Lipodystrophie ohne Gigantismus und ohne Knochenkernentwicklungsbeschleunigung, lipatrophischer Diabetes mellitus mit Acanthosis nigricans) kasuistisch dargelegt und erörtert wird, die letztgenannte Form an Hand von Geschwisterfällen mit Insulinantikörpernachweis bei einem der Kinder. Die generalisierte Lipodystrophie wird als Hauptvertreter einer Krankheitsgruppe gesehen, deren “Gruppendiagnose” durch den Nachweis von drei der folgenden “großen Symptome” ermöglicht wird: Panniculusmangel, Hepatopathie, Muskelhypertrophie, Kohlenhydratstoffwechsel-störung, passagere Makrosomie nebst Knochenkernacceleration, Akromegaloid und Encephalopathie. Auf Grund ihrer gruppengemeinsamen Züge werden das Exomphalos-Makroglossie-Gigantismus-Syndrom, der “cerebrale Gigantismus”, die angeborene progressive totale Lipodystrophie mit gewissen Fällen von generalisierter Muskelhypertrophie, “Miescher-Syndrom”, Leprechaunismus und diencephales Abmagerungssyndrom von Russell unter dem Oberbegriff der “konnatal-diencephalen Syndrome” zusammengefaßt.
    Notes: Summary In 1964 the senior author first described the syndrome of exomphalos, makroglossy and makrosomia which later was found to be associated with visceromegaly and hypoglycemia of the newborn. The present report describes the further course of the surviving patient. Additional features such as genital hypertrophy and a status of impaired glucose tolerance put the syndrome in close relationship to progressive generalized lipodystrophy and lipoatrophic diabetes with or without congenital muscular hypertrophy. Several patients with congenital total lipodystrophy and/or congenital generalized muscular hypertrophy are described in detail, including two siblings with lipodystrophy, acanthosis nigricans and insulin-resistent diabetes (“Miescher's syndrome”). The main features of these syndromes are lipodystrophy, liver disease, muscular hypertrophy, disturbed carbohydrate metabolism, (transient) growth spurt with accelerated bone maturation, acromegaloid features and cerebral affections. Wide individual, developmental and intrafamilial variability as well as additional minor symptoms create however a wide spectrum of disease. Considering the major features common (though in varying completeness) to all of the syndromes the authors raise the question of a common pathogenetic mechanism. Together with “cerebral gigantism” and Russell's syndrome the exomphalos-makroglossy-gigantism-syndrome and congenital generalized lipodystrophy are regarded as examples of “congenital diencephalic syndromes of childhood”.
