[Rare causes of ossification of the posterior common vertebral ligament causing cervical compression. Apropos of 2 cases].

The ossification of the posterior longitudinal is always responsible of cervical myelopathy. Radiological study and the CT scan, are able to precise the level, the morphologic and associated abnormalities of this lesion. Two cases of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligamentum with cervical myelopathy are reported. The radiologic studies determined the etiology, in the first case, it was fluorosis and the second DISH disease.

[Sialo-ultrasonographic approach of primary tuberculosis of the salivary glands. Apropos of 3 cases].

Primary tuberculotic involvement of the salivary glands makes up two per cent of all cases of salivary gland tumefaction that we have had to explore with ultrasonography and sialography. The patients are generally young adults of a low socioeconomic status. Sialography is nonspecific, whereas ultrasonography can suggest the diagnosis in the presence of heterogeneous, hypoechogenic intraglandular lesions associated to adenopathies. An IDR with tuberculin is essential for the diagnosis before treatment.

[Uncommon etiology of cruralgia].

A 58 year old man suffered from low back pain. Physical examination showed asymmetry of the quadriceps and slight motor deficiency of right leg. Plain radiography of the pelvis revealed a large osteophyte, developed anteriorly at the low part of the right sacro iliac joint. CT exam of lumbar spin was normal. But, it confirmed osteophyte of right sacro iliac. Percutaneous injection of a small quantity of xylocaine under CT guidance in the site of the osteophyte behind crural muscle was marked by immediate disappearance of the pain, confirming the site of conflict between the crural nerve and the osteophyte. The patient was treated by injection of corticosteroid at the same location. Recovery was good.

[Hemorrhagic complications revealing renal angiomyolipoma. Apropos of 2 cases].

Renal angiomyolipomas are rare benign tumors, which are most often discovered with ultrasonography, owing to the hyperechogenicity of their fatty component, and with computed tomography. The authors report about two cases of severe hemorrhagic complications revealing a renal angiomyolipoma, for which computed tomography made a preoperative diagnosis possible.

[Superior caval syndrome caused by chronic mediastinitis in Behçet's disease].

We report a case of Behçet disease complicated by superior vena cava syndrome secondary to extrinsic compression by mediastinal fibrosis. This association is not reported in literature. The habituel etiology of vena cava syndrome in Behçet disease is venous thrombosis. Radiological investigations of this syndrome are necessary to avoid an useless anticoagulant therapy.
