Malignant infantile osteopetrosis in a 3-year-old Yemeni child: a case report.

Infantile malignant osteopetrosis (IMOP) is a rare bone resorptive disorder with an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. It is characterized by increased bone density due to osteoclastic failure in differentiation or function. The clinical manifestations of IMOP start at birth or infancy with varied rings according to the type and degree of osteopetrosis.

New findings and concepts about the G-spot in normal and absent vagina: precautions possibly needed for preservation of the G-spot and sexuality during surgery.

Aim: The aim of this study was to extend the clinicohistological study to involve the whole normal and absent vagina for confirming the presence of the G-spot and its relation to the surrounding organs and sexuality and to identify certain precautions for its preservation during surgery.

Material And Methods: This study was a descriptive randomized prospective study conducted at Kasr El Aini School of Medicine, Cairo University, Egypt. The G-spot was examined in 1500 women, 500 of them having vaginal and vulval surgery done for gynecological reasons.

New attempt using ablative curettage technique for managing benign premenopausal uterine bleeding.

Aim: To assess the efficacy of a newly suggested ablative curettage technique in managing premenopausal dysfunctional uterine bleeding.

Methods: A prospective controlled operative study and clinical trial was carried out at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Kasr El-Aini Hospital, Cairo University, Egypt. One hundred cases of premenopausal bleeding were divided into 50 controls and 50 studied cases.

Reality of the G-spot and its relation to female circumcision and vaginal surgery.

Aim: To clarify the reality of the G-spot anatomically, functionally and histologically, and to determine the possible effect of female circumcision and anterior vaginal wall surgery on the integrity and function of the G-spot.

Methods: A controlled descriptive and comparative cohort prospective study was conducted at Kasr El Aini School of Medicine, Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt, of 50 uncircumcised and 125 circumcised women with small to moderate anterior vaginal wall descent. Preoperative sexual examination was performed to map the site of the G-spot and other anatomical landmarks on the anterior vaginal wall and to verify the associated circumcision state.

Reduction clitoro-labioplasty versus clitoro-labiectomy in managing adult onset clitoro-labiomegaly.

Objectives: To compare a new procedure of reduction clitoro-labioplasty to clitoro-labiectomy in the management of adult onset clitoro-labiomegaly, and to show the disadvantages of the latter procedure that produces female genital mutilation and sexual dysfunction.

Methods: This controlled, descriptive, comparative and prospective cohort study was performed at Kasr El-Aini School of Medicine, Cairo University, Egypt. 47 cases of clitoro-labiomegaly, 12 with known causes of intersex, were diagnosed and treated by reduction clitoro-labioplasty.

New attempt using labio-vestibular flap technique to manage circumcised women with Rokitansky syndrome.

Objective: To assess the efficacy of the labio-vestibular flap technique in managing circumcised women with Rokitansky syndrome and in correcting the sexuality defects caused by the anomaly present and by female circumcision.

Design: A prospective, comparative, clinical study.

Setting: Kasr El Aini School of Medicine, Cairo University, Egypt.

Defective sexuality and female circumcision: the cause and the possible management.

Aim: To verify the effect of circumcision on female sexuality and to define the need for clitorolabioplasty in these cases.

Methods: Thirty uncircumcised controls, 30 minorly circumcised, 30 minorly circumcised mutilated, and 57 circumcised cases having clitoral cysts were selected on random bases at Kasr El Aini School of Medicine. Sexuality was assessed by a special questionnaire sheet prepared by the authors to fit the circumcised cases.

Role of new sono-imaging technique 'sonocolpography' in the diagnosis and treatment of the complete transverse vaginal septum and other allied conditions.

Objective: To evaluate the value of a newly suggested ultrasonographic technique 'Sonocolpography' in diagnosing the complete transverse vaginal septum and other allied conditions and planning their treatment.

Subjects And Methods: Ten cases of complete vaginal septum, eight cases of atresia and four cases of vaginal aplasia seen at Kasr El Aini School of Medicine, Cairo University were selected for this study. Sonocolpography is done using a vaginal balloon and transabdominal ultrasonography.
