[Congenital pulmonary lymphangiectasis. One new case with complete blockage of the return venous pulmonary circulation and marked interstitial emphysema].

In this unusual case of bilateral congenital pulmonary lymphangiectasia with complete block of pulmonary venous return, the radiological diagnosis was made difficult by the association of the lymphangiectasia with bilateral interstitial emphysema. Routine dissection of the heart, considered to be normal since the cardio-thoracic index was only 0.45, relealed the true cause of death. The heart was the site of extreme hypoplasia of the left heart with complete mitral and aortic atresia. The ostium secundum being completely closed, the left atrium, after receiving the pulmonary veins, was completely blocked. It communicated neither with the right atrium, nor with the non-existent left ventricule.

[An explanation of ventilation problems in congenital heart disease with left to right shunt].

The problems associated with the ventilation of children who have congenital heart disease with left to righ shunts and pulmonary hypertension are more likely to be acquired than due to the congenital malformation. Haemodynamic, angiographic, bronchoscopic and bronchographic studies demonstrated that ventilation problems arose because of compression of the bronchus by the pulmonary artery. The bronchial compression should be treated by surgery to the heart defect without removing the lung. The intervention should be early to obtain maximum benefit and to avoid irreversible damage to the bronchus.

[Congenital bundle-of-his focal tachycardias. Cooperative study of 7 cases].

The authors described seven cases of supraventricular tachycardia with atrio-ventricular dissociation, associated with the activity of an automatic focus in the bundle of His. These tachycardias, which appear at birth or are discovered at a very young age, appear to be congenital and sometimes familial, and are always isolated, having no associated cardiac abnormality. They give rise to cardiac failure, which is more marked when the rate is high (180-260/mn) and particularly resistant to treatment. The most effective form of treatment is amiodarone, almost always used in combination with digitalis. The anatomical abnormality, which was studied in the first case, is a contricting fibrosis around the main trunk of the bundle of His, and the appearances are reminiscent of those found in conditions of congenital atrio-ventricular block.

[Unilateral congenital pulmonary lymphangiectasis].

The authors report the anatomo-clinical description of a case of a complex malformation of the Ivemark type with asplenism. They draw attention to the presence of a left-sided unilateral congenital pulmonary lymphangectasia due to the absence of the left pulmonary venous trunk. This observation confirms the role of total blockage of pulmonary venous circulation in the aetiology of these very rare cases of congenital pulmonary lymphangectasia.
