[Retrospective study on abortions of malformed fetuses carried out during a 5-year period in the department of Bouches-du-Rhône].

The authors report a retrospective study of therapeutic abortions for antenatally diagnosed abnormalities, 146 fetuses are concerned during a five years period, an anatomo-pathological examination have been performed in all cases, malformations of central nervous system are the most frequent (62). 26 urologic abnormalities are especially detailed. There are 10 isolated urologic abnormalities, and 16 abnormalities multiples. All fetuses had renal lesions which could justified an intervention but the declaration at registration of congenital birth defects is not obligatory. A multidisciplinary approach to prenatal diagnosis and congenital birth must still developed for a better understanding.

Gastric volvulus associated with congenital diaphragmatic hernia, wandering spleen, and intrathoracic left kidney: CT findings.

We present an unusual case of gastric volvulus associated with wandering spleen, a delayed manifestation of congenital diaphragmatic hernia and left intrathoracic kidney. Gastric volvulus should be considered in any infant with unexplained vomiting and left diaphragmatic anomaly: in these patients, developmental disorders of the peritoneal visceral attachments of the left upper abdomen may coexist. The absence of ligamentous connections between the stomach, posterior abdominal wall, and spleen result in wandering spleen. We emphasize prompt surgical therapy to avoid gastric and splenic necrosis. Radiologic findings and the appearance of this complex congenital malformation are reported.

[Charge syndrome: long-term survival. Report of a case].

Charge association is a relatively rare pattern of congenital anomalies whose incidence is approximately 1:10.000. We describe our experience on a young boy (Cariotype 46-XY) with associated oesophageal atresia survived up to 12 years. We analyse the most relevant difficulties occurred in the treatment of this patient and we underline the importance of performing an early tracheostomy in order to improve the respiratory impairment. The management of this multiple complex malformations requests a multidisciplinary approach during the life.
