Congenital giant prepucial sac: case reports.

The normal attachment of the prepuce is at the coronal sulcus of the penis. In this report, the authors describe an abnormal attachment of the prepucial skin, leading to a giant, deep prepucial sac. This acted as a stagnant sump for urine, and was cured by modified circumcision.

Recurring infantile digital fibromatosis: report of two cases.

There have been 100 reported cases resembling this rare entity. This type of fibroma differs from others in three respects: (1) clinically it is limited to the fingers and toes in infants, (2) it has a remarkable tendency to recur, and (3) morphologically it is characterized by the presence of cytoplasmic inclusion bodies. Herein the authors discuss two cases. This type of fibroma appears from birth to age 3 years in the digits; if correctly diagnosed and left alone, it will regress spontaneously. On the basis of the literature, the present cases were treated conservatively and had follow-up until the fibromas disappeared and did not recur.

Endovesical electrotherapy in treatment of urinary incontinence in spina-bifida patients.

A total of 20 children with incontinence due to myelomeningocele and 1 due to occult neuropathic bladder underwent a course of endovesical electrotherapy. There was temporary improvement in 1 and more lasting in another, but this was the result of catheterisation and bladder training rather than the electrotherapy. It is concluded that the electrotherapy has helped none of the patients, and no significant change in their bladder function was detected.
