[Value of muscular echography in the detection of carriers of progressive muscular dystrophy].
Progressive muscular dystrophy is an hereditary disease with a sex-linked recessive transmission. It is remarkable that in a 33% of the patients the disease is due to a spontaneous mutation. The great deal of methods described for the detection of carriers, reflects their poor reliability. The gemellus muscles of 11 women belonging to 3 different families with children affected by progressive muscular dystrophy were explored by means of ultrasounds. Comparison was made with healthy controls. Since our findings are in concordance with those of the literature, we recommend the use of muscular ultrasounds in the detection of Duchenne muscular dystrophy carriers, specially considering the accessibility, innocuousness and quickness of this method.

[Semilobar holoprosencephaly associated with central diabetes insipidus].
The clinical and neuroradiological findings in a case of semilobar holoprosencephaly associated to hypernatremia behaving like diabetes insipidus are described. The differential diagnosis with a neurogenic hypernatremia is discussed. The advantages of ultrasounds in the diagnosis of this malformation are pointed out. So are the characteristics which differentiate it from other neurological malformations and the importance of a dorsal sac to delimitate the more serous clinical forms.

[Some additional facts about thymus (author's transl)].
Three cases are presented of eventual diagnostic errors concerning the thymus. In the first case right aberrating lobe appeared radiologically as a tumour of posterior mediastinum. In the second case, the large thymic malleability, enabled it to invade medium mediastinum and to show an extraordinary variability in shape when in decubitus. Finally, a post surgical hematomata, in a patient affected by a cyanogen cardiopathy actually showed some problems of radiological diagnosis with the characteristic thymus regeneration.
