Characteristic features of the coxopodopatellar syndrome are patellar hypoplasia, pelvic skeletal anomalies and morphologic abnormalities of the front of foot. Fifteen cases with variable degrees of anomaly were observed in one family. Since a world-wide literature review failed to demonstrate any perfectly identical observation it was considered that this triple lesion constitutes an original syndrome worth reporting in detail.

The authors report a case of complex angiodysplasia of the right lower limb, complicated by an ulcer of the ankle, and associated with a venous dysplasia, arteriovenous fistulae, and malformations in the distal arterial system. A deliberately partial embolization of the arteriovenous communications of the right foot helped to achieve scarring of the trophic disturbance.
The authors report the case of a 57 years old man who was admitted for angina unresponsive to medical treatment. Coronary angiography revealed significant atherosclerotic lesions in the right coronary artery and also revealed multiple left coronaro-ventricular fistulae, hence the interest of this case. The fistulae were filiform and originated in the circumflex and posterior interventricular arteries. Coronaro-cardiac fistulae are rare, but this type of left-sided coronaro-ventricular fistula is exceptional. The patient was asymptomatic following surgical correction of the atheromatous lesions of the right coronary artery.
Necrosis of fatty bone marrow is an unusual complication of several pancreatic disorders. We describe a patient with polyarthritis, sterile subcutaneous abscess and osteolysis arising during the course of alcoholic chronic pancreatitis. MR images of one knee showed multiple foci of abnormal signal intensity within the marrow of the distal femur and proximal tibia, consistent with intraosseous fat necrosis. CT scans showed significant changes in the cancellous bone in these areas compatible with metaphyseal osteonecrosis.
