[Vascular malformations of the cecum: treatment by embolization. Apropos of 2 cases].

Two cases of arteriovenous malformations of the cecum treated by transcatheter embolization are presented. In both cases, treatment resulted in improvement of the clinical and biological signs. In general, there is a high risk of ischemic complications associated with this treatment. Embolization of arteriovenous malformations should be considered rarely and in the following cases: single lesion, high blood output, feasibility of superselective catheterization. The risk of colonic ischemia calls for preparation of the colon as if the patient were undergoing colonic surgery, as well as thorough clinical follow-up (for at least 10 days).

[Double mitral orifice. An anatomical case].

A double mitral orifice was discovered at autopsy in a 74 year old woman. Death resulted after several episodes of cardiac failure complicating mixed mitral and aortic valve disease. A vertical limbus bridged the mitral annulus separating it into two distinct right and left orifices, with oblique long axes aligned towards the lower part of the limbus perpendicular to each other from the left atrial view. After opening the left ventricle, both orifices were observed to have their own sets of chordae tendinae attached to normal papillary muscles: the right orifice to the posterior and the left to the anterior papillary muscle. The inferior end of the limbus was attached to a supplementary papillary muscle. Echocardiography and CT scanning were performed before dissection. This malformation results from symphysis of the mid parts of the two mitral leaflets during embryonic stages 15 and 16 (8-10 mm vertex-coccyx, 31st-33rd days).

[Radiologic study of the nasal fossa. Value of a vasoconstrictor test].

The advantages of a vasoconstrictor test during standard radiologic imaging of the nasal fossae are discussed. After a brief anatomic and physiologic review, results are presented of the use of a prednazoline test in 23 patients with radiologically evident nasal obstruction. Results emphasize the diagnostic value of the use of the vasoconstrictor, which enables precise study of morphology of the nasal fossae and, in certain cases, their functional exploration.
