RESUMEN
The cases of three children diagnosed with baboon syndrome are described, being defined by the appearance of dermatological lesions, with characteristic distribution and morphology, as a result of having been in contact with mercury. Other substances have been described associated with the appearance of this syndrome; however their pathogenis is not completely known, and it has been suggested that it could be another form of contact dermatitis. Diagnosis is based on patient clinical history and physical examination and there is no specific treatment.

Incessant atrial tachycardia is an infrequent arrhythmia. Specially difficult to treat medically. Radiofrequency catheter ablation has been used successfully to cure a variety of supraventricular tachycardias. The purpose of this work is to report our initial experience in the treatment of atrial tachycardia. Ten patients, mean age 28.7 +/- 15 year with conventional drug-resistant symptomatic atrial tachycardia were treated with selective ablation of the focus using radiofrequency energy. It was found an abnormal automaticity in 10 tachycardias and in only one patient intra-atrial reentrant was supported. Radiofrequency energy was successful in 10 of 11 tachycardias with a mean of 9.3 +/- 6.8 applications using the technique of local atrial electrogram activation time with a mean value of -54 +/- -31 milliseconds at the successful ablation sites. No complications were observed and one patient had an early clinical recurrence. All patients with successful ablation are symptom-free, in sinus rhythm and without antiarrhythmic medications after 1 to 28 months of follow-up. Our initial experience support that radiofrequency catheter ablation is a safe and effective therapeutic option for incessant atrial tachycardia.

Se describen los casos de tres niños diagnosticados de síndrome del babuino, definido por la aparición de lesiones dermatológicas de morfología y distribución características como consecuencia del contacto con mercurio. Se han descrito otras sustancias asociadas a la aparición de este síndrome, cuya patogenia no está del todo clara, aunque se cree que es otra forma de dermatitis de contacto. El diagnóstico se basa en la historia clínica y la exploración física y no existe un tratamiento específico (AU)
