Abstract

A 2-year-old boy was operated on for a left ureteral duplication with bilateral vesicoureteric reflux. Ten years later, he experienced two episodes of transient ascites following abdominal traumatism. A cystogram disclosed a peritoneal fistula. The fistulous orifice was localized by cystoscopy, and surgery was undertaken with success.

[Ascites, hydrothorax and ovarian tumor: Meigs' syndrome in a patient with small ovaries and increased CA 125 level].

In a 51-year-old woman with bilateral Brenner tumours of the ovaries and with intermittent hydrothorax and ascites, Meigs' syndrome was diagnosed. The serum CA 125 level was 620 U/ml (normal: 5-35). Bilateral ovariectomy, hysterectomy and omentectomy were carried out. The ovaries were not enlarged. Postoperatively, the pleural effusion and ascites resolved and the CA 125 level decreased to 8.4 U/ml. The pathogenesis of hydrothorax probably involves passage through the diaphragm, and the CA 125 may be produced by the peritoneal lining or by the Brenner tumours.
