[Presacrococcygeal congenital cyst in the adult].

Two cases of congenital cyst of the presacral space in the adult are presented. The unusualness of the lesion is stressed, and reference is made to the usefulness of a classification covering all retrorectal neoformations, including congenital forms. Attention is given to the manner of diagnosis. Variations in the surgical technique employed depend on the clinical and anatomical picture, and the potential inflammatory and degenerative aspects of the lesion. Emphasis is placed on the absolute need to section the sacrococcyx to prevent recurrences.

[Angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy. Treatment of 2 cases].

Following a review of the literature, 2 cases of angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy with dysproteinaemia are reported. Anatomo-pathological examination of the lymphonodes shows widespread change in the structure with vascular and lympho-immunoblastic proliferation and deposit of amorphous eosinophil substance. The most significant clinical and morphological aspects are reported and these are related to the therapeutic response. The effectiveness of cortisone therapy is shown by comparison of laboratory examination data at admittance and after three months.

[A case of primary echinococcosis of the breast].

A case of hydatid cyst of the breast is reported. Stress is laid on its extreme rarity, the aspecificity of its symptomatology and the importance of considering this type of pathology in the differential diagnosis of cystic conditions of the breast.

[Actinic lesions of the ileum].

After an examination of the literature regarding the causes of lesions from rays, their most frequent sites, the diagnostic difficulties and the various types of treatment, the paper draws attention to the increase in such lesions in relation to the use of megavoltages, and the advisability of exploratory laparotomy in previously irradiated subjects even in cases apparently labelled as neoplastic relapses.

[Gardner's syndrome in familial popyposis: clinical contribution and etiopathogenetic, therapeutic and prognostic considerations].

Starting from one case of Gardner's syndrome of their own observation, and in light of Watne's results, the authors argue that in the syndrome just named--and in familial polyposis in a broader sense--genetic factors do not play a predominant role; rather, polyps seem to result from the prolonged action of noxious agents. At any rate, said action can be neutralized, and possibly prevented either with a surgical modification of the distal gut or by treatment with a chemical substance identified as ascorbic acid. In view of these considerations, the authors recommend preventive medical therapy.

[Immediate surgical treatment of penetrating wounds of the heart. Clinico-diagnostic and therapeutic considerations on 2 cases of suture of the myocardium].

The authors, on the basis of their experience on two cases of cardiac tamponade, and from the revision of literature, retain that immediate thoracotomy, followed by re-examination of the pericardial sac and myocardiorrhaphy, represents a treatment preferable to the evacuant pericardiocentesis, confining the latter only to diagnostic conditions and immediate decompression in cases which arrive in unequipped places.

Magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar herniated disc in pregnancy.

Lumbosacral pain is a significant complaint in approximately one-half of all pregnancies. In 15%, the pain can be disabling. Although the mechanical and positional stresses of pregnancy have been cited as the primary source of this discomfort, in approximately 1:10,000 cases a herniated lumbar disc (HNP) can be identified as the proximal cause of pain. A 35-yr-old G4AB3PO patient presenting at 10 wk of pregnancy with severe incapacitating lumbar radiculopathy is described. Magnetic resonance imaging, selected by the patient as a diagnostic option, demonstrated a clinically suspected large midline HNP at the L5-S1 level. In the past, visualizing the presence of a HNP during pregnancy by either computerized axial tomography scan or myelography has exposed the fetus to ionizing radiation. However, magnetic resonance imaging now permits a more detailed evaluation without similar x-ray exposure. To date, no recognized biologic effect of MRI on the developing fetus has been reported. Although the long-term effects of an magnetic resonance imaging on the developing fetus have not been conclusively evaluated, its potential for accurate diagnosis and subsequent patient management, as well as planning the delivery, appears to outweigh any recognized hazard to the developing fetus.
