[Vascular compression of the duodenum related to a plaster cast (the cast syndrome)].

Case report of a 15-year-old girl presenting compression of the duodenum by the superior mesenteric artery, occurring after the application of a body plaster cast for correction of a idiopathic thoracic scoliosis, which required a gastrojejunostomy. The clinical and radiological pictures of this case fall into the rare entity called the "cast syndrome". The salient features of this syndrome are commented.

[Acute pancreatitis associated with primary hyperparathyroidism].

A case of acute pancreatitis associated with primary hyperparathyroidism is reported. There was none of usual causes of pancreatitis, which did not recur following the removal of a parathyroid adenoma. There are over one hundred of cases of acute or chronic pancreatitis associated with hyperparathyroidism in the literature, suggesting a causal relationship between the two entities. The pancreatic disease has been attributed either to the hypercalcemia or to the excess of circulating parathyroid hormone. However, some authors have recently questioned any link between these two diseases.

[Upper digestive hemorrhage caused by ulcerated periampullary leiomyoma].

Duodenal leiomyoma represents a very unusual cause for acute gastrointestinal bleeding. The authors report the case of a 49-year-old male with a massive bleeding from an ulcerated duodenal leiomyoma involving the ampulla of Vater. An emergency Whipple's pancreaticoduodenectomy was carried out under suspicion of local malignancy. It is emphasized that the proper diagnosis of smooth muscle tumors is often difficult, both clinically and from the pathological point of view.
