Abstract

Multilocular renal cysts are benign lesions with an unknown histogenesis. We report 3 children and summarize information currently known about these lesions. Capsular veins were seen in two patients during the early phases of intravenous urography. Intravenous urography with sonography and arteriography may suggest the diagnosis prior to surgery.

Theoretical and analytical embryology of conjoined twins: part I: embryogenesis.

A review of over 1,800 publications concerning the embryology and pathologic anatomy of conjoined twins provides convincing evidence that they all result from the secondary union of two originally separate monovular embryonic discs. This "fusion" theory seems to be confirmed by the adjustments to union and the pattern and incidence of specific anomalies at the proposed sites of conjunction in more than 1,200 cases, all of which can be arranged in two uninterrupted series of cases, the one united dorsally (in the neural tube) and the other, ventrally (over a shared a yolk sac). No theoretical "fission" of the vertebrate embryo at any stage of development, in any plane, in any direction can explain (1) the selection of the observed sites of fusion, (2) the details of the union, or (3) the limitation to the specific areas in which the twins are found to be joined. Part I of this disquisition deals with the pertinent normal and theoretical embryology, the adjustments to union, and the parasitic cases, as well as conjoined triplets and quadruplets, and a comparison of oviparous and viviparous embryos. Part II (in a subsequent issue of this journal) will compare and correlate the abnormalities of the various organ systems involved in 1,200 cases.

Bilateral juxtafoveolar telangiectasis in monozygotic twins.

PURPOSE: To report the clinical and angiographic features of two monozygotic twins affected by bilateral group 2 idiopathic juxtafoveolar telangiectasis. METHOD: Case reports. RESULTS: Two 64-year-old women, who were identical twins, were suffering from visual loss. One twin had suffered from visual loss for 1 year and had a visual acuity of 20/25 in both eyes, and the other twin had suffered for 2 years and had a visual acuity of 20/30 in both eyes. Fluorescein angiography disclosed similar fundus features. An analogous area of capillary telangiectasis and leakage was observed in the right macula, where no intraretinal pigment was seen; the left macula showed a similar amount of intraretinal pigment associated with tiny right-angle venules and minimal leakage. CONCLUSION: This observation raises the issue of genetic influences in the pathogenesis of this disease.
