[Dilated vestibular aqueduct syndrome in children. Report of a case].

Enlarged vestibular aqueduct syndrome is a clinical condition characterized for a progressive perceptive deafness linked to a broadening of vestibular aqueduct greater than 1.5 mm without other otic abnormal structures. We report the case of a 2-year-old child with such congenital malformation. We have reviewed the actual literature and point out its clinical and physiopathologic features as well treatment possibilities of these cases.

[Intramuscular myxoma. Apropos of a case].

Intramuscular myxoma is a relatively unusual benign tumor of soft tissues. Clinical examination is non specific and the definitive diagnosis can only be established on histology. The treatment consists of excision of the tumor. The prognosis is very good and recurrence is very rare. No cases of metastasis have been described.

[Wandering spleen associated to inflammatory pseudotumor].

Wandering spleen is an uncommon clinical entity accounting for less than 0.5% of all splenectomies performed. It can be an incidental finding in asymptomatic patients or it can be found in patients with acute or chronic clinical presentation due to compression (urinary retention, constipation), alterations in splenic function (thrombocytopenia or hypersplenism), or torsion of a vascular pedicle. Wandering spleen is diagnosed by imaging techniques, usually ultrasound, CT, or MRI. scintigraphy or arteriography can also be useful in cases with inconclusive findings. Although cases of wandering spleen associated to diverse masses (epidermoid cysts, simple cysts, cystic lymphangiomas, and lymphomas) have been reported in the literature, to our knowledge there are no reports of this entity associated to inflammatory pseudotumor. We present the case of a patient with wandering spleen associated to inflammatory pseudotumor.
