[Sacro-ilial tuberculosis (sacrococcygeal). Apropos of 1 case].
In a single case review the authors recapitulate the different methods for the presentation of sacro-ilial infectious and underscore imagery techniques which are of prime importance in diagnostic work. X-rays can only reveal advanced sacro-ilial bone joint lesions which are under-evaluated. In the absence of HI-Tech imagery, surgical biopsy must be widely recommended to identify the germ and allow early diagnosis.
[Systemic scleroderma (apropos of a case with dominant pulmonary manifestations)].
A case of systemic sclerodermy mainly affecting the lungs is presented. For a long time the diagnostic was incorrect. The case is all the more interesting since the patient had worked in iron mines and unproved pneumoconiosis had been diagnosed. Treatment basically with corticotherapy and oxygenotherapy, with D-penicillamine added, produced a satisfactory outcome to the attack and definite improvements in the cutaneous lesions.
[Echography in a neuro-pediatric milieu in Senegal. Apropos of 75 cases in Dakar].
In neuro-paediatry, echography is one of the easiest examinations to conduct. It is one of the most bearable, least traumatic and most informative. Furthermore, by utilizing the fontanelle window, brain structure can be discerned. In the light of these 75 observations, the authors establish echo-anatomical correlations and diagnostic strategy.
[Contribution of ultrasonography in the pathology of the scrotum and its contents].
Echography must, henceforth, be considered a method of investigation in Scrotum pathology. It is certainly of interest for diagnosis and close supervision of this pathology--this is the recommendation of the authors following 46 observations correlating echographical aspects with anatomopathological results.
[Tuberculous pneumothorax (apropos of 70 cases)].

[Radiological bone age in medico-legal identification].
Sauvegrain-Nahum and Bronstein's grading methods was used to study the relationship between bone age and chronological age in a sample of 88 Senegalese children aged between 12 and 13 1/2 years, as compared to French norms. This applied study in infantile forensic medicine evokes a number or commentaries and reactions.
[Hydranencephaly: report of a case].
The authors report the first Senegalese observation of hydranencephaly in a three-week-old baby to underline the unusualness of this deformity and the efficiency of transfrontal echography in its diagnosis.
[Echo-anatomo-radiological correlations apropos of 10 primary cancers of the gallbladder in Dakar].

[14 cases of constrictive endocardial fibrosis (or endomyocardial fibrosis].
Constrictive endocardial fibrosis (CEF) or endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) was studied on 14 files of this rather frequent disease in Ivory Coast. On the basis of the data derived from angiocardiography, catheterization and mechanograms, the clinical signs are interpreted better. Thus one is able to describe with accuracy some clinical forms, the commonest of which being a right heart restriction combined with left-sided signs. It seems important underline how useful the external pulse recordings might be useful for the diagnosis in view of their analogy with the pressure curves. In this disease with a severe course, bold surgical treatments provide some hope. On the contrary, its aetiology remains mysterious. Our best landmark being the link of CEP with tropical ecology, and in particular, in our cases, with the warm and damp forest ecology of some areas.
