The authors report a case of associated malformation of the posterior mediastinum consisting of enteric cyst and bronchopulmonary sequestration. The interesting aspect of this case is that these 2 malformations were not simply juxtaposed but connected by an individual bronchus, thus reinforcing the hypothesis that bronchopulmonary sequestration can be consequence of an abnormal bud born of the primitive anterior digestive tract.

[Value of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of renal abscesses. Results in 13 cases (author's transl)].

The results of ultrasonography recordings in 13 patients with renal abscesses are described: the image of the abscess is that of a cavity, of mixed structural composition, located inside the renal parenchyma. Ultrasonography has great diagnostic value, can be used to guide the aspiration needle and therapeutic procedures, and permits effective follow-up of the course of the disease. Chronic abscesses develop thick borders which give an ultrasonographic appearance similar to that of a necrotic cancer. In the perinephric phlegmon the cavity compresses the capsule. The pyonephrotic kidney is large and heterogenous in appearance. The clinical picture and the results of guided needle puncture are the essential features for diagnosis.
