[Diverticulum of the right atrium. A case report and review of the literature].

Congenital atrial diverticula are rare, especially those involving the right atrium. This condition was observed in a 52 year old man who presented with palpitations. The diagnosis was made by two-dimensional echocardiography and confirmed by CT scan, magnetic resonance imaging and angiography. In the absence of significant invalidity, no treatment was recommended. Only three other cases of this condition have been previously reported, all of which were referred for surgery for thrombotic complications, arrhythmias and cardiac failure. Anatomo-pathological analysis showed different appearances: fibrous tissue and lipomatous degeneration. In the absence of associated heart disease, these aneurysms are probably congenital.

[Treatment of subcutaneous ruptures of the Achilles tendon by percutaneous tenorraphy].

Since 1982, the authors have progressively settled a technique to repair the calcaneal tendon, the result of which is a percutaneous tenorraphy exclusively used for more than 2 years. Their study includes 28 cases between 1989 and 1992, with an average post operative time of 15.6 months. The technique is fully described, its aim was to restore a normal length of the ruptured tendon in placing together the 2 tendinous ends during the required time to obtain natural regeneration of the Achilles tendon. It reduces the theoric immobilization time, makes rehabilitation easier as well as the return to sportive and professional activities. The suture was percutaneously made with a special material: A Dacron yarn with a 5 mm wide hook set on a 12 long flexible needle. The results were globally good and only very few complications were observed.

[Sinus infection and diving (a case of cerebral empyema)].

Intracranial complications following swimming or diving accidents are exceptional. A recent observation of a cerebral empyema in a 15-year old boy, with neurological sequellae was an opportunity the clarify the issue. Apart from the rapidity of the neurological signs, two points drew our attention: bacteriology, with a predominance of anaerobic germs; and the problem of therapy, both for the timing of neurosurgery and for the role of anticoagulants in venous thrombosis.

[Treatment of upper genital infections in women. Multicenter study of the comparative efficacy and tolerance of an amoxicillin-clavulanic acid combination and of a triple antibiotic combination].

Eighty-two patients with laparoscopically confirmed salpingitis were randomly divided into two groups in a multicentre and prospective trial. Single drug therapy with the amoxicillin-clavulanic acid combination was used in 42 patients (group A). The other 40 patients were given a combination of penicillin, aminoside and metronidazole (group B). For each case a secondary prescription for a tetracycline was discussed. Clinical results were comparable in both groups: sooner (at the end of the hospitalization period) in group A: 10 cured, 30 improved and 2 failures against 9 cured, 30 improved in group B. Later (evaluation after 5 to 8 weeks) a relapse was noted in five patients in group A and included one case of angioedema in group B. It is concluded that amoxicillin-clavulanic acid combination is a satisfactory alternative to the penicillin-aminoside-metronidazole combination, especially as it is simpler to use.

[Treatment of post-traumatic dislocation of the patella. Critical study of 29 cases (author's transl)].

The treatment of post-traumatic dislocation of the patella depends on careful examination. One should propose surgery in most cases, for not only one may leave a foreign body within the joint, but above all correction of the extensor apparatus is necessary in more than 50 p. cent of cases, to avoid a recurrence. The quality of the results depends on the preoperative analysis of the knee. Our study of 29 cases confirmed this.
