[Clinical considerations and therapeutic options in papillomatosis of common bile duct. Clinical case].

The Authors report a case of endoscopic treatment of common biliary tract papillomatosis. This therapeutic option derive by patient's clinical evaluation and clinical reports from literature. Agreeing with Cornud, we have opted for endoscopic conservative management with drainage of common biliary tract; furthermore endoscopic procedure permit, by an intensive follow-up, identification and management of possible recurrences. This approach, minimally invasive, is in our opinion the first option for the biliary papillomatosis management.

[Our experience in using a synthetic prostacyclin analog in the treatment of critical ischemia of the extremities].

The authors, after examination of pharmacologic profile of Iloprost, prostacyclin synthetic analogue, report their clinical experience from January 1992 to June 1997 on 105 patients with severe ischaemia of inferior limbs. They utilize two protocols: 0.5-2 ng/kg/min x 6 hs once a day x 28 days and 1-1.5 ng/kg/min x 6 hs twice a day x 12 days. The first protocol were practise along the first 2 years; the second on following period as long as today. The results, evaluated on clinical criteria, are referred entity and time of pain remission and decrease of analgesic use, performance status improvement, increase of gear autonomy and, if present, wound healing. The incidence of amputation was 4.76% (5 pts). The authors issue that Iloprost is a conservative treatment, often alternative with amputation, giving sometimes to patients a longtime functional "restitutio ad integrum".

[A case of strangulated trans-omentum hernia].

After a review of the Literature, the Authors report a case of intestinal obstruction caused by trans-omentum hernia. This unusual disease is due to a defect of the greater omentum with herniation and secondary strangulation of small bowel. The clinical presentation was that of an intestinal obstruction with rare possibility of preoperative diagnosis. Therefore, a correct knowledge of this pathology and immediate surgery are necessary for the prognosis.

[Diaphragm rupture caused by closed trauma. A more and more frequent condition].

The Authors report a case of rupture of the diaphragm in blunt trauma of the abdomen, to examine the more significant features of this condition whose incidence proves to be increasing, after a review of the literature data, parallel to the increase of accidents on the road and at work. They examine the most important pathogenic problems and these related to the mechanism leading to diaphragmatic lesion and they highlight the deeper pathophysiological changes suffered from the patient with such a condition. They draw attention to what they consider to be the most important aspect, and therefore the diagnosis. In fact, in accordance with the various series of cases reported in the literature, it is crucial in the diagnostic problem is when the possible cause of the rupture is suspected and necessary diagnostic cascade (Rx, echotomography, TC) is activated so to highlight the lesion. Therefore a quick diagnostic fitting is necessary for the survival of the acute patient with hernia of the thorax cavity, as well as quick surgical correction of the lesion that, as in the case described, serves to achieve the best possible anatomic-functional results.
