We report the case of a newborn admitted with signs of congestive cardiac failure with prominent and pulsatile cervical veins. Echocardiography showed a structurally normal heart, right-to-left ductal flow, and reversed diastolic flow in the proximal descending aorta. A computed-tomography scan of the head showed a vein of Galen arteriovenous malformation. This highlights the importance of considering an intracranial cause in the differential diagnosis of neonatal congestive heart failure.

Adams-Oliver syndrome (AOS) is a congenital condition characterized by congenital aplasia cutis and transverse limb defects. Herein we report a case of an infant with severe intra-uterine growth restriction presenting AOS associated with cutis marmorata telangiectatica but with no other organ complications. The outcome was complicated by hemorrhagic and septic shock, which resulted in the death of the infant in a setting of multiorgan failure.

Dysosteosclerosis is a rare genetic disorder with a poor prognosis. It is an osteochondrodysplasia similar to osteopetrosis but it is typically characterized by platyspondyly and expanded metaphyses. It shows complications such as compression of cranial nerves, especially the optic nerve, hematologic complications, fractures following mild injury, abnormal dentition, neurological and psychological deterioration, in addition to osteomyelitis of the mandible. We report a new case of dysosteosclerosis complicated by osteomyelitis of the lower maxilla.

One of the side effects of the BCG vaccine is a local infection that may spread to the regional lymph nodes causing lymphadenitis, which can resolve spontaneously without treatment. We report the case of an immunocompetent infant who developed lymphadenitis after administration of the BCG vaccine, complicated with persistent symptomatic hypercalcemia in spite of the usual treatment including corticotherapy. Antituberculous treatment was necessary to reduce this hypercalcemia.
