As soon the first months of life, observation of a strabismus, a nystagmus, and some simple examination signs must lead to an ophthalmologic examination in order to exclude any organic disease and to begin a treatment.

At their beginning, most of these disorders have not yet the typical recognizable form they will have latter on, allowing at that time easier diagnosis. More than at other life periods, the clinician has to go beyond the descriptive symptomatology to find out the underlying psychopathological organisation that may be more informative on the observed disorder in terms of diagnosis and prognosis, with the awareness that schizophrenia begins frequently at this age.

In France, toxoplasmosis is the most frequently observed congenital parasitic infection. Any occurrence of maternal seroconversion (ascertained or very suspected) during pregnancy constitutes an indication for early clinical and biological check-up of the newborn. A chemo-prophylactic combination of chloroquine and proguanil (Savarine<sup>®</sup>) should be recommended in a pregnant woman going to endemic areas, in order to prevent the risk of congenital malaria and its clinical consequences. The cytomegalovirus (CMV)- induced infection is the most frequent maternal-foetal infection. It constitutes the first cause of neuro-sensorial handicaps acquired during intrauterine life. CMV-induced primary infection in a pregnant woman is therefore a situation with major pathological risk for the foetus. The foetal contamination is principally due to hematogenous trans-placental transmission, inducing viral proliferation in the foetus. The B19 parvovirus is commonly considered responsible for the megalerythema, or fifth disease. Embryo-foetopathies associated to parvovirus infections are now better understood: the rate of maternal-foetal transmission and the risk of complications are better identified. Rubella which is a benignant infection occurring during early childhood was the first infectious disease identified as responsible for embryo-foetopathies. The Australian ophthalmologist MacAlister Gregg was the first to hypothesise, in 1941, a relationship between the onset of a per gravidic rubella and congenital cataract. The serological screening for rubella which is mandatory on early pregnancy allows to identify the initial serological status of the pregnant woman. Potential embryo-foetopathy should therefore be suspected in case any delayed intrauterine growth associated to a heart abnormality is observed in the foetus. Chickenpox is an uncommon disease in women during pregnancy. For the mother, complications are mainly of pulmonary type (in about 10% of the cases), and potentially life-threatening. Before 24-week amenorrhoea, the fœtal transmission (estimated to approximate 6%) may be responsible for a congenital varicella syndrome in about 2% of cases. Perinatal chickenpox due to peripartum transmission induces in about 25% of the cases a neonatal chickenpox potentially serious and sometimes fatal; this risk is essentially associated to an eruption in the mother, occurring during the period from 5 days before delivery to 2 days after. Bacterial infections remain the major concern for paediatric obstetricians since they always constitute a frequent risk for perinatal morbidity and mortality (3<sup>rd</sup> cause of mortality).

A sodium-limited diet is prescribed in potential or overt sodium retention states, such as nephritic syndromes and, generally speaking, in glomerulo-nephritis. Practical modalities of this prescription are explained taking into account the sodium content of the different foods. Diet plays a major role in the treatment of the infant with renal failure, because related anorexia and gastrointestinal disorders frequently result in naso-gastric or gastrostomy nutrition in order to provide sufficient energy. The principles of diet in patients with chronic renal impairment have evolved these last years. The previously recommended severe protein restriction is no longer recommended. Nevertheless, according to age and degree of renal impairment, recommendations for protein intakes are proposed on the basis of standard occidental alimentary habits, generally largely above the minimum amounts as estimated by experts taking into account the age. Limited protein intakes is useful for limiting phosphorus and acid loads, but its interest in slowing the renal function degradation remains questionable. Other recommendations concern the child with renal failure, especially potassium limitation when GFR decreases to below 20 mL/mn; water and sodium intakes must also be adjusted. Examples of dietary regimens together with practical indications are provided.

In older children, the main causes are : distal tubular acidosis, primary hyperoxaluria, and hypercalciurias from known genetic origin (Dent's disease, familial hypomagnesemia-hypercalciuria) or still “idiopathic”.
