[Left adrenal pseudomass. Apropos of a case of splenorenal anastomosis by the vein of the left pillar of the diaphragm].

A case of hepatocarcinoma on cirrhosis with portal hypertension is described. The anatomy of splenorenal anastomoses and their ultrasound and CT scan imaging characteristics are reviewed, and the interest of differential diagnosis from adrenal masses emphasized. Its importance is enhanced by the fact that the portal hypertension may be unrecognized as in the present case. Diagnostic effectiveness of ultrasound and CT scan imaging is discussed.

[Value of exchange transfusion in the treatment of severe malaria (apropos of 5 cases)].

Five imported falciparum malaria cases with severe evolution are reported. Treatment associated a blood exchange transfusion and an antimalaria chemotherapy (mefloquine in three patients and quinine in two patients). All patients were successfully cured despite of serious visceral complications occurring in two patients (pulmonary and cerebral oedema). Technical management of treatment is detailed. Exchange transfusion should be considered in falciparum malaria when parasitaemia overcomes 20% and when serious visceral impairment, hemolysis or consumption coagulopathy are occurring.
