[Enteropathy caused by clofazimine].

A case of Clofazimine enteropathy is reported, diagnosed on the demonstration of red brown birefringent crystals in the small bowel mucosa and submucosa as well as in the mesenteric lymph nodes whereas the clinical and radiological signs appear to be non specific. After the withdrawal of the drug, a clear improvement of the symptoms was achieved only under a gluten free diet. The possibility of such accidents, sometimes lethal, suggests the restriction of clofazimine to leprosy.

[Hemorrhoidectomy by surgical excision with anoplasty by mucocutaneous suture].

The technique suggested here consists of radical excision of the haemorrhoids with preservation of skin flaps which are sutured to the healthy rectal mucosa inside the anus. There is no traction nor sphincteral damage. This simple procedure, derived from the Whitehead's technique, is suitable for large haemorrhoids, notably when they are prolapsed and associated with lesions of the mucosa Resections "as required", with preservation of healthy mucocutaneous bridges, avoids the development of stenosis. Rectal palpation by the patients themselves twice a day from the 8th to the 30th post-operative days is essential. In a series of 150 cases evaluated 5 to 15 years after surgery, 9 out of 10 patients showed evidence of persistent success without functional sequelae.
