Fused epiploic appendages simulating carcinoma of the left colon.

A 60-year old male with a history of rectal bleeding was operated upon because of the finding of a filling defect on barium enema examination. At operation it was found that the defect was produced by the fusion of two epiploic appendages. Following release of the adhesion the colon regained its normal appearance and postoperative barium enema showed no pathological findings.

Dissolution of Barium-impaction ileus by Gastrografin.

Ileus caused by impaction of hardened residual barium stagnated in the colon-a rare complication of barium-meal examination-constitutes a particularly serious problem when it occurs following abdominal operations, leading to postoperative ileus. The administration of Gastrografin in such cases has proven efficacy in the dissolution of inspissated barium, refractory to routine means of evacuation. Four case reports provide an illustration of this problem. The satisfactory results obtained, and the hitherto reported lack of side effects of this compound, justify recommendation of Gastrografin as a safe, simple method for use in the management of these cases.

Peripheral cryoglobulinemic neuropathy in a patient with Gaucher's disease.

Cryoglobulinemia with peripheral cryoglobulinemic neuropathy is reported in a patient with Gaucher's disease. To the best of our knowledge, a similar relationship has not been previously described. The question whether the cryoglobulinemic neuropathy in this patient is related to Gaucher's disease, or is a mere coincidence, is discussed.
