Hemorrhagic Shock as Complication of Intramural Intestinal Bleeding.

. Mural intestinal hematoma (MIH) is an uncommon complication of anticoagulant therapy. Hemorrhagic shock has been rarely reported as a revealing modality.

Incidence of deep venous thrombosis in patients with erysipelas of the leg: prospective study of 30 cases in an emergency department.

The treatment of lower limb erysipelas is based on anti-streptococcal antibiotherapy. The indication of adjuvant anticoagulant therapy is not clear because of the lack of data about the incidence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in these patients. We performed a prospective study using a colour Doppler vein exploration combined with ultrasonography within the first 48 h, with evaluation of clinical probability of DVT according to the Wells score to assess the incidence of DVT in patients with erysipelas of the lower limb.

[Bronchiectasis in rheumatoid arthritis. High resolution computed pulmonary tomography].

To evaluate the prevalence of bronchiectasis in rhumatoid arthritis (RA) we have study thirty patients (24 women and 6 men), with a mean age of 45,2 years. All patients have a RA with a follow up of 5,84 years, positive rhumatoid factor were found in 22 cases. All patients have had high resolution computed pulmonary tomography, study of clinical, radiological and spirometry parameters.

[Cholangitis revealing an intrahepatic Osler's disease].

Osler Weber Rendu Disease is an hereditary haemorrhagic télangectasia habitually revealed by reccurent bleeding (epistaxis). Hepatic involvement in Osler disease is found in 8 to 31%, manifested by cholestasis. We report an original observation of a cholangitis revealing Osler disease.

[Splenic angioma. Value of MRI: two case reports].

The splenic angioma is a rare tumour. Its aspects MRI are still badly known. The authors show that in the 2 brought back cases, there is a hypersignal on the 3 echoes of T2 with a catch of contrast slow and centripetal after Gadolinium injection.

[Malformative diaphragmatic hernia in the adult. Three case reports].

The malformative diaphragmatic hernia are frequently the privilege of the new-born. Their discovery in the adult-hood is a rare eventuality, often in fortuitous way or exceptionally in the formidable complications. The diagnosis is evoked in the pulmonary radiography, confirmed by ultrasonography, digestive opacification and scanography.

[Plasmocytic lymphoma/multiple myeloma. Association or transformation?].

Extramedullary plsmocytoma (plasmocytic lymphoma) is very rare, it seems to have an indolent course and the progression to a multiple myeloma is very rare (about 30 cases are reported in the literature). We report the case of 68-old-woman who presented in 1997 with an axillary left node. Physical examination, biologic and radiologic tests were normal.
