Pancreatic ascites: management by caudal pancreatectomy and side-to-side pancreaticojejunostomy.

A patient with pancreatic ascites is presented who had neither a pseudocyst nor demonstrable pancreatic duct disruption, despite the presence of both calculi and strictures in a dilated duct of Wirsung. Concurrently, the patient exhibited intractable abdominal pain characteristic of end-stage chronic alcoholic pancreatitis. The pancreatic ascites responded only briefly to nonoperative management with hyperalimentation. Side-to-side pancreticojejunostomy with caudal pancreatectomy relieved the patient of both pain and ascites, suggesting that this more direct approach may be worthy of consideration in patients with similar findings.

Malformation of bronchopulmonary foregut with systemic and pulmonary arterial blood supply.

A case of congenital malformation of the bronchopulmonary foregut with communication between the esophagus and sequestered lobe is reported in a six-month-old boy. Only 29 similar cases have been reported previously, and this case was especially unusual in that the communication was from the middle portion of the esophagus to a right apical sequestration. Another unusual feature was that the sequestered segment was supplied by four systemic arteries from the thoracic aorta, as well as by branches from the right pulmonary artery. Within the sequestration, there was shunting of blood from the systemic to pulmonary arterties with reversal of flow in the pulmonary arterial branches.

Diagnosis of urethral diverticula in females.

Female urethral diverticula are probably a more common cause of symptomatology than is generally suspected. Radiologic techniques may play a key role in their demonstration. Particularly in the patient with clinical findings referable to the urethral area, fluoroscopy of the urethra as part of cystography as well as the use of urethral catheters may be helpful in diagnosis.
