[Thoracic and retroperitoneal cystic lymphangiomyomatosis. Value of lymphography].

Standard radiological examinations in a woman of 40 years of age with a pneumothorax and chylothorax revealed the presence of a posterior mediastinal mass compressing the oesophagus, and an interstitial syndrome. Retroperitoneal and mediastinal cystic lymphangiomas were found on lymphography. These findings are in accordance with the lymphangiomyomatosis described by Cornog and Enterline in 1966. The similarity between this disease and tuberculous sclerosis is underlined in present-day publications.

[The role of early nephrotomography in renal insufficiency (author's transl)].

The use of early nephrotomography has added a supplementary functional dimension to intravenous urography films, made after the rapid injection of 60 ml of contrast media in the form of an embolus. This method enables the corticomedullary junction to be visualized in the nephrography, which is an important point in differential diagnosis. An analysis is made of the results obtained from early nephrotomographies in 50 patients with acute or chronic renal insufficiency. Satisfactory nephrographies were obtained in all cases and the position and size of the kidneys could be established. Certain nephrotomographic abnormalities appear more frequently during the course of some types of chronic nephropathies, and this can assist aetiological classification. The existence of dilated secretory cavities in the superior part of the kidney can be established very quickly. In this way it is possible to differentiate clearly between parenchymatous nephropathies and those due to obstruction, such as when oliguria or anuria is present. The presence of a persistent homogenous nephrography would evoke, under these same conditions, an acute medical nephropathy.

[A study of the lower urinary apparatus using 105 mm ampliphotography (author's transl)].

The exploration of the lower urinary apparatus was carried out using a 105 mm ampliphotography system. 230 examinations were performed according to several techniques: descending and micturition cystography; urethrocystography or retrograde and voiding cystography; cystography with suprapublic puncture; and cystometrography. An analysis of the results enabled an evaluation of the method. The morphological study may appear inadequate if electronic enlargement is not employed. The dynamic study is excellent in the diagnosis of diseases of the neck and uretheral stenosis. The limits of the amplifier field should not lead to a failure to recognize a possible vesicoureteral reflux. A decrease in the exposure dose makes it a technique of choice in children on the condition that the rate of exposures is not excessive and electronic enlargement is not performed too frequently.
