[Treatment methods in multiple hepatic, pulmonary and pleural hydatidosis].

The modern treatment of hepato-pleural-pulmonary hydatidosis is based on surgical excision and medical treatment with drugs like: Mebendazol, Albendazol or Praziquantel. There are presented 23 patients with multiple hepato-pleuro-pulmonary hydatidosis, operated in the last 4 years. Surgical excision in pleuro-pulmonary hydatidosis is adapted to cysts topography, aiming to eliminate the intact cysts and to close the remaining cavities.

[The indications of bronchial resection and anastomosis in lung cancer].

Bronchial resection and anastomosis represents an alternative to the pneumonectomy in patients with severe impairment of pulmonary function and/or other diseases which make such radical surgery too risky. The authors present two clinical cases of right upper lobe lung cancer (a squamous-cell carcinoma and an adenocarcinoma) admitted in the Thoracic Surgery Department of the National Institute of Pulmonology "Marius Nasta" from Jan-March 2001, in which they could not perform pneumonectomy because of unacceptable high risks. In both patients a right upper lobectomy with "sleeve" resection was done, with the anastomosis of right main bronchus to the intermediary one. The clinical, bronchoscopic and functional results were excellent. The literature review also shows very good results of this technique in the surgical treatment of lung cancer. For these reasons, the authors recommend this procedure in all the cases in which it can be technically applied; more than that, the survival rate is similar with other more radical techniques, but without any complications.

[Metachronous bronchial carcinoma--three years after right upper lobectomy. A case report].

The emergence of a secondary pulmonary neoplasm at some time after the primary one raises diagnostic and therapeutic issues especially in patients with functional respiratory capacities at the limits of resectability. We present the case of a 53 years old patient which suffered a right upper lobectomy three years before for a moderately differentiated squamous carcinoma and in which a second cancer was discovered in the right main bronchus. Para-clinic explorations demonstrated the lack of local and systemic invasion of the second cancer. The optimal therapeutic way is presented and its result, discussing also the means for long term follow-up of the patients operated for non-small cell lung cancer.

[Congenital transdiaphragmatic hernia with a late manifestation].

A case of diaphragmatic pathology is presented consisting in transdiaphragmatic penetration of abdominal viscera. It raised problems of differential diagnosis with other intrapleural pathology. X-ray aspects should not be interpreted without including them into the general clinical and laboratory data in order to avoid errors of diagnosis and treatment.

[Pulmonary manifestations in a case of toxic shock syndrome].

The evolution of a toxic shock syndrome in a young adult has yielded particular pleural and lung lesions concomittantly with phenomena of insufficiency of other organs and systems (kidney, digestive, CNS a.o.). X-ray aspect of bilateral bronchopneumonia with small diffuse infiltrates are noted, together with an aspect of bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax, which appeared successively with a tendency to relapse. Hemodynamic alterings during the acute phase of the syndrome initiated by staphylococcal exotoxin are similar to those during the initial phase of the septic shock, requiring a careful monitoring during the treatment.
