[Acute thrombosis of the brachial artery and beta-thalassemia-sickle cell anemia].

The authors report about one case of left branchial arterial thrombosis in a 6-year-old child with thalassemia-sickle cell disease. In their opinion, although this hemoglobinopathy usually causes microthrombosis, its existence at the same time as that of the brachial thrombosis does not seem to be a coincidence. The actual origin of this disease remains to be found, as well as the role that thrombocytosis may play. The authors emphasize the relative rarity of thrombolytic arterial diseases in African Negroes and advise practitioners to recognize them, because their diagnosis, often established late in our climates, has severe consequences.

[Amebic abscess of the liver. Contribution of ultrasonics to developmental diagnosis apropos of 983 cases].

Diagnosis and course of acute single amebic abscess of liver were studied in 983 cases followed up regularly until recovery. A simple but very precise classification is proposed based on course of disease as determined by ultrasound imaging. Early appearances prior to ultrasound are emphasized, these involving pronounced reversible biliary and pancreatic modifications that should be recognized in patients presenting before development of an abscess evident on liver ultrasonography. Ultrasound assists follow up during medical treatment. It very effectively demonstrates the dissociation between pathologic and clinical findings characteristic of this course, with clinical recovery usually within 8 to 10 days contrasting with persistence of liver abscess over several months.

[Pulmonary artery aneurysms in patent ductus arteriosus].

Two cases of pulmonary artery aneurysm are reported in patients with persistent ductus arteriosus (PDA). The first was a mycotic aneurysm complicating staphylococcal pneumonia; the other was a calcific aneurysm of the right pulmonary artery. The mycotic origin was confirmed in the first case. The aetiological roles of pulmonary hypertension and previous endocarditis are discussed in the second case. Based on these two observations, the authors analyse the aetiology and evolution of mycotic aneurysms and review the therapeutic problems posed by their association with PDA.

[Pulmonary thromboembolic diseases in Ivory Coast (apropos of 13 cases)].

From January 1983 to March 1984, 13 cases of pulmonary thrombo-embolic disease (PTE) were reported at the Abidjan cardiology Institute. Disease frequency is higher than usually reported in Africa. The reason is that angiography was carried out as soon as the clinical diagnosis was suspected. Radiologic examination allowed to locate with accuracy the level of the thrombosis. Under heparin, a favourable course of the disease was noted any time a phlebitis of lower extremity was involved. Two deaths occurred among the 13 cases. Few differences are noted in Africa and temperate zones as regard to disease behaviour. However, frequency of obstetrical and infectious aetiology is to be outlined.

[Gallbladder pathology in the Ivory Coast. Contribution of ultrasonics].

Ultrasound imaging was first used in the two hospital and university centers of Abidjan in 1983, and findings since then have demonstrated the previously unrecognized frequency and variability of gallbladder affections. Particular conditions of functioning of an ultrasonography department in tropical surroundings are analyzed and ultrasound features of bile stones, cholecystitis and gallbladder cancer described.
