Efficacy of hepatobiliary scintigraphy in demonstrating cholangio-colic fistulae. Is formation of internal biliary fistula related to external leak closure?

The authors present four cases of internal biliary fistulae (IBF) identified on hepatobiliary scintigraphy. All of the cases share common history of external biliary leak closure. Scintigraphy in all four cases showed a similar pattern of direct visualization of transverse colon without any significant small bowel activity. This suggests an increased frequency of IBF formation in cases with external fistulous tract closure. Retrospectively, it appears that spontaneous closure of external leak may be pathological consequence of formation of IBF involving hepatic flexure.

The Indian experience with hypertrophic pyloric stenosis.

A study of 58 consecutive Indian infants operated for congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis revealed an accentuated male predominance in the incidence of the disease and far less preoperative hemetemesis as compared to that in their Western counterparts. 'Pyloric tumor' was palpable in 89% of cases. Only 34.5% of these infants were first born. Postoperative vomiting occurred in 13.8% of patients and wound sepsis was not encountered. Air contrast radiography confirmed the diagnosis in clinically doubtful cases.

Acute intussusception: referral in relation to presentation and aetiology.

A study of 42 consecutive children with acute intussusception was undertaken. The emphasis was on the time taken for surgical referral in relation to the presenting symptom. Operative findings and outcome revealed late referral (greater than 72 h) in cases presenting with diarrhoea and bleeding per rectum. A higher incidence of gangrenous gut and irreducibility of intussusception was found in the ileoileal variety of intussusception. Some interesting facts about the aetiology have also been noted. Rupture of intussuscipiens was also encountered.

An unusual sincipital meningoencephalocele: a case report.

A congenital nasoglabellar mass is usually either a meningocele or an encephalocele. Occasionally, lipoma, sarcoma, dermoid, glioma, or scalp angioma may resemble an encephalocele. This report describes a rather unusual sincipital meningoencephalocele in an 8-month-old boy.
