Neurofibrosarcoma of the duodenum in von Recklinghausen's disease.

The clinical features and surgical management of 2 patients with neurofibrosacroma of the duodenum in association with von Recklinghausen's disease are described. The tumours were excised and the resulting duodenal defects closed satisfactorily using the jejunal serosal patch technique. Three such neurofibrosarcomas reported previously in English are reviewed.

A case of craniocleidal dysostosis presenting with vascular complications.

A case of craniocleidal dysostosis was presented. In spite of the skeletal abnormalities present, the disease was not diagnosed until the patient, a married woman of 63, developed ischaemia of her right upper limb, followed by cerebral symptoms. An arch aortogram demonstrated an occlusion of the first part of the right subclavian artery involving the origin of the vertebral artery and a post-stenotic dilatation of the left subclavian artery due to costoclavicular compression. Such vascular abnormalities have not been previously described in this condition.

Multiple congenital aneurysms in childhood: report of a case.

This paper reports the case of a girl who, at the age of 7 years, presented with a saccular aneurysm of a brachial artery. Over the following 8 years a further 15 aneurysm appeared, involving limb and visceral arteries and the aorta. Some, but not all, of these aneurysms have been operated upon. Complications included renovascular hypertension due to bilateral intrarenal aneurysms. She had been followed up for 15 years. Three other similar cases have been found in the medical literature, and these are also referred to. In two of these cases the affected persons also exhibited some of the other connective tissue anomalies associated with the Ehlers--Danlos syndrome. These were not present in our patient. The relationship between the syndrome of multiple congenital aneurysms and the Ehlers--Danlos syndrome is discussed.
