Ileostomates in Israel.

A survey of 47 Israeli ileostomates known to the Israel Ostomy Association was performed. The outstanding features are 1) a low (5 per cent) referral rate of patients with inflammatory bowel disease for procto colectomy and ileostomy; 2) a high (64-85 per cent) incidence of cutaneous problems; 3) a low rate of rehabilitation, as measured by return to previous occupation, sexual life and social adjustment. However, our 47 ostomates were operated on 14 institutions in five countries and live in a subtropical climate-factors that may negatively affect the outcome. Since the study, the situation has improved.

[Hodgkin's granuloma of the cerebral hemisphere. Apropos of one case].

With reference to a case of Hodgkin's granuloma of the frontal lobe, a review of the literature has enabled 8 similar cases of intra-cerebral localisation of this disease to be reclassified. Their mechanism is discussed on the basis of neuropathological data and in particular their development in situ. Excision of the lesion appears to be the treatment of choice.

[Spontaneous rhinorrhea of unusual etiology].

Authors report on the case of one patient exhibiting, since three months, a spontaneous thinorrhea and directed to them with the diagnosis of pituitary tumor. The neuro-roentgenologic inquiry discovers a ventricular dilatation and an evagination of the III rd. ventricle into the pituitary fossa ; it also puts in evidence a tumor of the posterior cerebral fossa. We are dealing here with a meningioma of the posterior aspect of temporal pyramid (petrosal bone). If tumoral hydrocephalus is common, its complication with a spontaneous rhinorrhea is, on the contrary, exceptional. We are therefore obliged to consider the pre-existing in this female patient of a deficiency of the pituitary diaphragm that has favoured the intra-sellar diverticle of the III rd ventricle, in the same manner as it makes possible, in other circumstances the arachnoidocele in the syndrome of empty pituitary fossa. Exeresis of the tumor, by suppressing the intracranial hypertension, stopped the rhinorrhea and has considerably improved the visual signs.
