[Caudal radiography versus computerized axial tomography in the diagnosis of lumbosacral radiculitis].

The advantages and disadvantages of caudoradiography and computed tomography in the diagnosis of compressive sciatic radiculitis are compared. With this in mind, the data on 103 patients admitted to Giaveno Hospital in 1986-1987 are analysed. In this series 99 were subjected to CAT scans, 21 to caudoradiculography (7 to both examinations) and 41 to surgery. Apart from revealing the advantages and defects of the two techniques, the results confirm the preference for CAT expressed elsewhere in the literature.

[Etiopathogenesis of juvenile osteochondrosis of the hip. Apropos of 2 cases observed in bicorial twins].

Two cases of juvenile osteochondrosis of the hip in biovular twins form the basis for bibliographical research into the aetiopathogenesis of the disease. Although pathogenesis is now known to be a more or less severe trophic disturbance of the head of the femur caused by faulty arterial flow through the local circulation, the prime causes of such circulatory arrest remain doubtful. Critical examination of studies carried out on the question would seem to point to a Perthes disease aetiology which would fit most of the more authoritative theories.

[Final results of ultra-early diagnosis in congenital hip dislocation in the newborn infant population].

Data relating to the first year's work in ultra-early mass diagnosis of cases of congenital dysplasia of the hip are presented. Stress is laid on the importance of this type of screening as a means of preventing the crippling sequelae that this disease. Attention is drawn to the simplicity and cheapness of the examination. Particular reference is made to the notable frequency with which this form of dysplasia was observed in the children of parents known to be original inhabitants of the Sangone Valley.

[Caudography with Dimer-X in the diagnosis of lumbar and sciatic pain syndromes of orthopedic interest. Report of 100 consecutive examinations].

It was found that the employment of Dimer-X (methylglucamine jocarmate) as contrast medium greatly reduced the frequency of secondary phenomena in 100 caudographies performed in subjects with lumbar and sciatic pain syndromes of orthopaedic interest. Comparison between the clinical, caudographic and surgical findings showed how contrastography offered highly accurate information in support of the clinical diagnosis of disk compression in case of sufficiently severe lumbar and sciatic pain.
