Unusual association of brain hemorrhage and digestive tract occlusion: about two prenatal cases.

We report two prenatal cases of an exceptional association of digestive tract atresia or perforation with brain hemorrhage. This combination worsens the prognosis leading to termination of pregnancy in one case. We outline the importance of a careful fetal brain examination on imaging in cases of prenatal "acute" abdominal insults.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in children: clinical review with anaplastic lymphoma kinase, Epstein-Barr virus, and human herpesvirus 8 detection analysis.

Background/purpose: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is considered as an intermediate neoplasm that may present malignant features. Differential diagnosis with other tumor processes is sometimes difficult. Similar anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene abnormalities as in anaplastic large cell lymphoma have been reported.
