Bronchial trifurcation in a congenital pulmonary venolobar syndrome.

Congenital malformations of the tracheobronchal tree and the related arterial blood supply are a complex group of lesions in which there are abnormalities of the venous drainage and lung parenchyma. These malformations are examples of congenital pulmonary venolobar syndrome (CPVS). Tracheal trifurcation is an extremely rare anomaly associated with CPVS.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia: antenatal prognostic factors. Does cardiac ventricular disproportion in utero predict outcome and pulmonary hypoplasia?

Unlabelled: Despite regular progress in neonatal intensive care, congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) diagnosed antenatally is still associated with up to 80% mortality. It is impossible to predict which fetus with CDH will survive or not.

Objective: To identify reliable antenatal predictors of outcome and of pulmonary hypoplasia (PH) in fetuses with CDH.

Cystic dysplasia of the testis with ipsilateral renal agenesis. A case report and review of the literature.

While cystic dysplasia of the testis is rare, the awareness of the benign and malformative nature of this lesion is important to consider among other cystic testicular and para testicular lesions, first neoplasm. Its sonographic appearance and the recognition of simultaneously occurring renal anomalies should allow for prompt recognition in children with scrotal swelling or testicular enlargement. We describe a 10-year-old boy with right testicular swelling who underwent orchiectomy for cystic dysplasia of the testis.

Highly differentiated teratoma and fetus-in-fetu: a single pathology?

A case of sacrococcygeal teratoma is presented with characteristics of fetus-in-fetu. This pseudo-fetus presented a rudimentary single cavity heart, which beat at a different rate to that of the affected infant. X-ray examination showed no spinal column.

Computation of eyeball growth by magnetic resonance imaging (26.11.93).

The computation of eyeball growth has a wide field of applications in orbital and ocular pathology. An anatomic and MRI study to compute eyeball growth has been done. The anatomic study was made to determine the best MRI parameters to calculate the ocular surface; then this surface was computed by MRI in the neuro-ocular plane in fetuses and children aged from 0 to 13 years.

Visceral neuropathies responsible for chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction syndrome in pediatric practice: analysis of 26 cases.

Twenty-six children aged from 1 day to 15 years (18 boys and 8 girls) with visceral neuropathies are analyzed. Clinical symptomatology is dominated by abdominal distension, attacks of occlusion, abdominal pain, and malnutrition. Intestine bacterial overgrowth is frequent.

Urinary bladder diverticula and the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome in children.

Two large bladder diverticula that induced severe micturition disturbances were surgically removed in a 5-year-old boy with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS). One year after surgery, a new, asymptomatic diverticulum developed. This case is discussed in the light of nine similar cases that have already been published.
