Leaking abdominal aortic aneurysm presenting as an inguinal mass.

Two patients with leaking abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) presenting as a tender inguinal mass are reported. Unusual presentations such as this often cause delays in definitive surgery which result in increased morbidity and mortality. It follows that the diagnosis of a leaking AAA should be considered in all patients with a tender pulsatile abdominal mass regardless of the presentation.

Metronidazole in prevention and treatment of bacteroides infections after appendicectomy.

The frequency of non-clostridial anaerobic infection was studied in 95 patients who had undergone acute appendicectomy: 49 received prophylactic metronidazole and 46 received placebo. Anaerobic infection did not develop in any of the metronidazole-treated patients, but infections did develop in nine (19%) of the 46 controls. Metronidazole is conveniently administered by suppository to patients who cannot take oral drugs. Five patients with intra-abdominal infections caused by non-clostridial anaerobes were successfully treated with metronidazole.
