[Prostaglandin E1--the pharmacologic prosthesis].

The treatment of erectile failure has developed rapidly over the last decade with the introduction of intracavernosal self injection therapy, first with phenoxybenzamine, then with papaverine and paraverine-phentolamine. These drugs are now progressively replaced by prostaglandin E1 mainly because of its efficacy and fewer side effects. Prostaglandin E1 can induce a rigid erection even in case of severe arteriopathy and offers an excellent alternative to a prosthetic implant.

[Inflammatory fibroid polyps of the digestive tract. Apropos of 5 cases].

Inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) is an infrequent condition of the digestive tract which is most often observed in the gastric antrum and ileum. It is known by several synonyms (Vanek tumour, eosinophilic granuloma, etc.) and is sometimes mistaken for eosinophilic gastroenteritis. Its main clinical features are abdominal pain, ulcer-like syndrome, obstruction and/or haemorrhage. It usually runs a benign course and surgery remains the treatment of choice. Its aetiology is unknown. Five cases of gastric IFP are described, one of which was diagnosed from endoscopic biopsies before resection. This is a very uncommon feature which, to our knowledge, has not previously been reported in the literature.
