Myelomeningocele: a progressive intra-uterine disease.

A series of cats were made hydrocephalic by intracisternal injection of kaolin, and four weeks later ventriculography confirmed the presence of hydromyelia. Ten days later, laminectomy in the lower thoracic region was performed. Several days later ventriculography revealed a markedly dilated central canal beneath the entire laminectomy, and pathological examination confirmed the presence of a focal bulge confined to the same region. On sectioning, it was evident that the central canal was massively enlarged to fill the entire spinal cord beneath the bulging region. The conclusion from these findings is that myelomeningocele is the result of progressive intra-uterine disease which begins with pathological hydromyelia and culminates in rupture of the unsupported spinal cord as a result of maldevelopment of associated dermal tissue.

Vaginal hysterectomy for benign uterine disease in the laparoscopically confirmed frozen pelvis.

Extensive pelvic adhesions present difficulty with access to the uterus, but they may not account for significant symtomatology, although their dissection may account for a significant deal of morbidity. Results of this study are based on a retrospective analysis of operations by a single surgical team. Eight patients with benign uterine pathology and frozen pelvis diagnosed laparoscopically underwent vaginal hysterectomy. The surgeries were accomplished uneventfully and without significant perioperative morbidity. This approach appears to be an efficient surgical option for hysterectomy, which by-passes the need for and the potential morbidity of an extensive intra-abdominal adhesiolysis by laparotomy or laparoscopy.
