[Maternal hydrocephaly and pregnancy. A new case report and review of the literature].

The authors describe a fresh case combining hydrocephalus and pregnancy. The improved quality of the shunt used and neurosurgical methods available have transformed the prognosis for non-tumoral hydrocephalus. The ventriculo-peritoneal shunt malfunctioned during pregnancy in 50% of cases. In the absence of acute neurological complications at term due to distal malfunction of the shunt, vaginal delivery is to be preferred.

[Bologna operation].

Thirty cases of urinary incontinence and genital prolapse have been treated using Bologna's method. The authors describe this operation. The post-operative controls were based on the clinical state of the patient and in ten cases on the urodynamic tests. Anatomical result was very satisfactory. In all but one case the abdominal pressure transmission defect to the upper urethral was corrected without deterioration of maximal urethral pressure.

[Swallowing of an amniotic string by a fetus at term].

Amniotic band syndrome is a rare pathology which involves a group of fetal malformations due to the formation of bands between the fetus and the extraembryonic derivatives. These fetal malformations are extremely variable and their type depends upon the period of gestation during which the bands develop. In rare cases, these bands could strangulate the umbilical cord vessel and lead to fetal death. The authors report an exceptional case fo swallowing of the amniotic band by a fetus at term and fetal death due to strangulation of the umbilical cord vessels by amniotic band.
