[Tarsomarginal graft. Indication and results in palpebral surgery].

A tarsomarginal graft is indicated in eyelid reconstructive surgery particularly after tumor resection. We reported the results of a retrospective study during the past 13 years with 58 grafts. We found a predominance of basal cell carcinomas localised in the lateral third portion of the lid (42%) and in the lower eyelid (76%).

[Treatment of hydronephrosis caused by obstruction of the pyeloureteral junction diagnosed before birth].

From 1981 to 1987, the authors observed 69 patients with ureteropelvic junction obstruction diagnosed by antenatal ultrasound, representing a total of 77 pathological renal units. Seventy renal units were treated by ureteropelvic resection, one renal unit returned to normal without treatment. There were 3 primary nephrectomies and 3 secondary nephrectomies for non-improvement after percutaneous nephrostomy.

The authors report two cases of Pena-Shokeir syndrome; they emphasize its place among the numerous etiologies of hydramnios, among the different AMC, particularly the autosomal recessive entities.

[Ectopia cordis: early echographic diagnosis in utero].

Having had a case of ectopia cordis which was diagnosed early in utero, the authors have analysed the information they have obtained and they have suggested what steps to take according to the features revealed by the ultrasound pictures and taking into account the different anatomical forms. They have also considered the lesions that are associated with this condition and the principal prognostic features.
