[In utero diagnosis of situs abnormalities. A case of prenatal diagnosis of visceral situs inversus with corrected transposition of great vessels].

A case of situs inversus with discordant atrio-ventricular and ventriculo-arterial structures was diagnosed at the ultrasonography examination performed at 34 weeks gestation. This observation underscores the importance of recognizing the position of the viscerae and discordant segments of the heart, atria, ventricles and greater vessels. Overall frequency of situs inversus is estimated at 1/10,000 births.

[Primary Bartholin gland cancer and etiopathogenetic role of human papillomavirus. Report of a new case].

The authors report a new case of Bartholin's gland carcinoma and its link with human papillomavirus. Should women with HPV have Pap smears the accessory glands of the vulva in addition to cervical smears?

[Use of the Logotampon in gynecologic-obstetrical surgical hemorrhages. A case report].

The authors report a case of placenta accreta complicated by coagulation disturbance which required hysterectomy. In order to deal with widespread bleeding, they used a Logotheotopoulos pelvic tampon (Logotampon) and thus achieved a satisfactory operative result.

[Early prenatal diagnosis of asymmetric cephalothoracopagus twins].

The authors report on one case of cephalothoracopagus Janiceps conjoined twins discovered by echography at 18 weeks' gestation. Conjoined twins have been said to occur with a frequency of 1/50,000 to 1/100,000 deliveries. The incidence of the cephalothoracopagus variety is one in three million births or one in 58 conjoined twins.

[Criteria for choice of vaginal hysterectomy for lesions other than invasive cancer].

The authors analyse in retrospect a continuous series of 208 hysterectomies, for lesions other than invasive cancer, in order to try to define precise objective criteria for the choice of the vaginal way. What essentially commands the choice of this way are: high parity, large size of the uterus, the existence of prolapsus, effort-linked urinary deficiency and no annexial pathology.
