Sacral agenesis in siblings.

Sacral agenesis is a rare congenital abnormality of the lower vertebral column which is frequently associated with neurological, orthopedic as well as urological malformations. With regard to the incidence of the anomaly, although approximately 200 cases have been reported previously, the occurrence of sacral agenesis in siblings has only rarely been found. To date only two pairs of siblings have been reported. Herein we present 2 siblings with partial sacral agenesis and emphasize the need for a careful family investigation, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Relationship of blood groups and transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder.

Blood groups of 50 patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder, who were followed up for a minimum of 3 years, were analyzed. The blood group distribution of the patients reflected that of the general population. There was no relationship between blood groups and stage and grade of the tumour at initial presentation. However, patients with blood group O had worse prognosis than the others.

Carcinoma of the bladder in patients less than 40 years old.

Records of fifteen patients less than 40 years old with carcinoma of the bladder are reviewed. Fourteen patients with transitional cell carcinoma had well or moderately differentiated superficial papillary tumours. One patient with adenocarcinoma died within 4 months with progressive disease. Four patients experienced recurrences and 9 patients had no recurrence of tumour after a mean follow-up of 55 months. It is concluded that the fate of patients younger than 40 years with bladder cancer is not different from those in older age groups.
