  • Title: [Dwarfism and constrictive pericarditis. Apropos of a case of so-called Mulibrey dwarfism with hypereosinophilia].

    Abstract:
    A child of 10 was admitted to a cardiology unit with adiastole. The marked degree of dwarfism and anatomical features were characteristic of the so-called 'Mulibrey' dwarfism. Surgical intervention confirmed the constrictive pericarditis which is normally found in this condition. Unfortunately, the adiastole persisted which, taking into account the marked eosinophilia, made an associated endomyocardial fibrosis seem likely. The distinctive features of constrictive pericarditis and of the constrictive type of cardiomyopathy are recalled.
