RESUMO
Ectopic intrathoracic kidney is a rare congenital anomaly, usually asymptomatic. This anomaly is sometimes associated with a diaphragmatic hernia. Few cases of this combination have been described, often in the absence of a prenatal diagnosis. We report on the case of a female newborn infant who was diagnosed with an ectopic intrathoracic right kidney and a diaphragmatic hernia upon 33 weeks of gestation. The patient underwent surgery on the first day of life and the respiratory and renal outcomes were simple. We review the literature and discuss the seemingly good prognosis of this combination.

Bacterial endocarditis is rare in children. We report the case of streptococcal B endocarditis in a newborn whose mother had asymptomatic bacteriuria during pregnancy. This report emphasizes the importance of maternal intrapartum antibiotic therapy when there is a major risk of neonatal infection and underlines the diagnostic value of echocardiography in case of prolonged fever.
