The findings of this body will be of much interest.Pooler l reviews some factors influencing growth in infancy and childhood.Weber 2 has made a survey of sixty-two cases of congenital heart defect in children in the Universitäts-Kinderklinik, Berlin. He states that he was unable to discover any characteristic malnutrition or stunt¬ ing of growth in the children with cardiac anomalies. It was evident, however, that children with congenital cyanosis, and especially those with symptoms of congestion in various organs, were more subject to deranged nutrition than other children with congenital cardiac disease.Children with dyspnea, especially in combination with cyanosis, like¬ wise showed evidence of malnutrition. Hypotrophy was not found to be a constant accompaniment of congenital heart defects and no con¬ stant relation was found between the two conditions. Hypotrophy was nearly always associated with the presence of other defects, so that it was thought necessary to look farther back for the destructive agency. However, in some cases, no damaging factor could be discovered other than the congenital heart defect.An interesting example of oxycephalia and dwarf growth is reported by Isola, Butler and Fournier.3 The patient was 21 years of age and 1.3 m. tall, totally blind, with reducible exophthalmus and horizontal nystagmus.
