[The silent kidney. Evolving ultrasonic picture of emphysematous pyelonephritis: the vanishing kidney. Apropos of a case].

The authors report the progressive disappearing of the sonographical image of a previously visualized kidney in a case of emphysematous pyelonephritis. They have called the sonographic vanishing kidney "the sign of the Deaf Kidney". The non-visualisation of a kidney with advanced emphysematous pyelonephritis is due to the infiltration of the perirenal environment by a gas envelope and the filling of the excretory cavities by gas. The perirenal gas-bag forms a shield against ultrasonic waves. The sonographer must be aware of the eventuality of not being able to individualize a renal structure when wrapped in gas. He must then ask for a zonography of the renal area in order to confirm the gas-containing collection in the kidney.

Spinal subdural metastasis. A case report.

A case of metastasis to the thoracic spinal subdural space is reported. Metrizamide myelography showed narrowing of the upper thoracic subarachnoid space. A tumor in the spinal subdural space is unusual; only a few cases have been reported. The myelographic appearance is not specific; an epidural metastasis can produce the same myelographic picture.

The madness of art.

The author finds a constant thread of what Benjamin Rush termed "tristimania" in works of great authors. The madness of art, Henry James's description of the need to transform and metamorphose personal experience by means of prose, poetry, or other artistic expression, is illustrated in the lives and works of many great writers. Psychotherapy as a means of dealing with depression in artists can be either rejected or used to advantage. The author posits that the most enduring works may be those of artists who have lived through their sadness to experience and control their rage against aging.

[Post-traumatic L5-S1 root avulsion. Myelographic and x-ray computed tomographic study. Apropos of a case. Review of the literature].

A patient presented an avulsion of left L5-S1 roots, with S1 meningocele, following a road accident. Saccoradiculography and CT scan imaging, even without contrast, allowed identification of total lesion in a suggestive clinical context. The characters of the CT scan images are emphasized. Images showed also the presence of pseudo-meningoceles and absence of roots.
