A Case of Pulmonary Nodular Schistosomiasis.

Bilharzia is a parasitic infection particularly affecting the digestive tract and urinary tract. Lung involvement is rarely reported. We report a case of pulmonary bilharzioma of nodular type surrounded by ground glass opacities diagnosed on CT-scan and associated with a hepatic nodule, in a 41-year-old woman.

Two new cases of pediatric tumoral calcinosis.

Tumoral calcinosis (TC) is a rare benign pathology, particularly in pediatrics. It is difficult to diagnose with its pathophysiology poorly understood. We report two pediatric cases of TC having benefited from radiological assessments and surgical excision.

Thickness of the Plantar Fascia in Asymptomatic Subjects.

Objectives: The objectives of this study are to determine the average and extreme values of the thickness of plantar fascia (PF) and to evaluate its correlations with anthropometric parameters and walking activity.

Materials And Methods: Analytic study of 226 feet. On these feet, the thickness of the PF was measured on ultrasound; and its correlation with the age, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), gender, and daily walking of the participants were studied.

Atypical alveolar proteinosis.

Alveolar proteinosis is a rare pulmonary disease characterized by intra-alveolar accumulation of surfactant composed of lipoproteinaceous material, related to a lack of surfactant resorption by alveolar macrophages. Crazy paving pattern is characteristic, but not specific. The multinodular forms of this affection remain exceptional.

Contribution of Scanopelvimetry in the Prognosis of Childbirth.

Objectives To determine the frequency of the demand of radiopelvimetry in pregnant women and to assess the obstetrical prognosis. Methods Retrospective study about 19 months, including a total of 45 pregnant women who underwent scanopelvimetry to evaluate the biometry of the pelvis. Scanopelvimetry was performed from 36th week of pregnancy.
