    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Exomphalos-Makroglossie-Gigantismus-(EMG-) Syndrom häufiger als Sotos-Syndrom (cerebraler Gigantismus) und wesentlich häufiger als Berardinelli-Seip-Syndrom (angeborene generalisierte Lipodystrophie). Anfängliche Fehldiagnose “Hypothyreose” bei etwa jedem 6. EMG-Fall. Entwicklung einer mehr/minder deutlichen Hemihypertrophie bei bisher mindestens 24 von 171 EMG-Fällen; Entwicklung von bisher 10 intraabdominalen und 2 extraabdominellen Geschwülsten bei 11 EMG-Kindern, davon 4 Kindern mit Hemihypertrophie. Keine entsprechende Hemihypertrophie- und/oder Geschwulst-Häufung beim Berardinelli-Seip-Syndrom und beim Sotos-Syndrom. “Kerbenohr” relativ häufiges und wichtiges, aber unspezifisches Mikrosymptom beim EMG-Syndrom. Unterscheidung der Röntgenologie des Skelets bei den 3 Syndromen. Betrachtungen zur Genetik dieser 3 eigenständigen klinischen Entitäten.
    Notes: Abstract The incidence of the EMG syndrome is higher than that of Sotos' syndrome (cerebral gigantism) and substantially higher than that of Berardinelli-Seip syndrome (congenital generalized lipodystrophy). An initial mistaken diagnosis of “hypothyroidism” is made in approximately every sixth case of EMG. More or less pronounced hemihypertrophy has developed in at least 24 out of 171 EMG cases to date and 10 intraabdominal and 2 extraabdominal tumors have developed in 11 cases of EMG, among which 4 children were affected by hemihypertrophy. There is no corresponding incidence of hemihypertrophy and/or tumors in Berardinelli-Seip or Sotos' syndrome. “Kerbenohren” (slit-like indentations of the ear lobes) are a relatively frequent and important but nevertheless nonspecific symptom in EMG syndrome. The roentgenologic findings in the 3 syndromes are differentiated and the genetics of these 3 distinct clinical entities is considered.

    Notes: Abstract Four boys are described with partial gigantism of the hands and/or feet, pigmented nevi, hemihypertrophy, subcutaneous hamartomatous tumors and macrocephaly, and/or other skull anomalies. Three of these patients showed an accelerated growth in their first years of life. Two suffered from cystiform pulmonary abnormalities. The children showed normal mental development with the exception of one with traumatic brain damage. Parental consanguinity was not disclosed. As a result of a review of the literature, we can say that these cases do not conform to any well defined entity and would appear to represent a ‘new’ syndrome to be categorized under congenital hamartomatous disorders. The mode of inheritance of the undoubtedly genetically determined syndrome is yet not clearly understood. We propose the term Proteus syndrome for this ‘new’ syndrome.

    Notes: Abstract This is apparently the first report on connatal hemihypertrophy with malignant pheochromocytoma. The coincidence of hemihypertrophy with other diseases, particularly neuroectodermal dysplasias on the one hand and the frequent association of neuroectodermal dysplasias with pheochromocytoma on the other, are emphasized. Furthermore, basically known particularities of this case as malignancy of the tumor, the unusual size of the tumor in children, and the normal catecholamine levels in serum as well as the normal excretion of vanillylmandelic acid are discussed.

    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”.
