title: [Hypoglossia, situs inversus and absence of the pituitary in a neonate: teratogenic effect of maternal hyperthermia?].
abstract: Hypoglossia is a rare malformation that is not fatal, unlike otocephaly.
  
  
  METHODS
  A neonate, born at 39 weeks of GA and dead at 5th day showed hypoglossia, dextrocardia, situs inversus and pituitary aplasia. Maternal hyperthermia was observed at 4 weeks gestation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This case is reminiscent of a community of syndrome with agnathia-holoprosencephaly and situs inversus. The responsibility of maternal hyperthermia is raised.
