[Cerebral cysticercosis: imaging, serology, treatment and evolution. Apropos of 2 cases].

The authors present two cases of neurocysticercosis diagnosed both by serology and medical imaging (computed tomographic scan and magnetic resonance imaging). The first patient had a mixed form with localization of the parasites in the different anatomic parts. He developed suddenly a severe encephalitis which growth has been quickly fatal in spite of a prompt praziquantel and corticosteroids treatment. The second patient had a parenchymal form, and the same treatment was very effective.

[Congenital tracheal stenosis associated with aberrant left pulmonary artery. Apropos of a severe form with neonatal disclosure].

The case report is presented of a newborn infant afflicted with extensive congenital tracheal stenosis associated with anomalous left pulmonary artery, proving rapidly fatal. The possibility of tracheal anomaly must be envisaged in the face of any neonatal respiratory distress unexplained by pulmonary parenchymatous pathology. Diagnosis of this complex malformation relies on endoscopy and oesophagogram and tracheo-bronchogram contrasts.

[Hypochromic anemia and small bowel diverticula].

The authors appreciate the possible responsibility of small intestine diverticulosis in three patients with iron deficiency anemia. In the first case, anemia was associated with colo-duodenal fistula. In the second and third cases, because of the negativity of gastric and large bowel investigations, a barium opacification was done, which showed diverticulosis. This was considered as probably responsible for the anemia. After a review of the literature, the authors conclude that small intestine diverticulosis may lead to iron deficiency anemia through chronic blood loss.

[Gastric bezoar in diabetes mellitus. 3 cases (author's transl)].

Diabetic gastroparesis is the gastric manifestation of diabetic autonomic neuropathy and may result, on rare occasions, in the formation of a bezoar. This was the case in 3 patients (two women aged 36 and 66 and a 19-year-old man) whose insulin-dependent diabetes was complicated with neuropathy. All patients had marked glycaemic instability apparently related to digestive function. In one patient, a stable normoglycaemic state was obtained by continuous intravenous administration of carbohydrates until the bezoar had disappeared. In the other two patients, who had a long history of neglected digestive disorders, the bezoars provided intractable. In diabetics with dyspeptic symptoms, and particularly when neuropathy is present, it would be advisable to investigate for gastroparesis in order to prevent the development of a bezoar by dietetic and therapeutic measures.

[Parasitic calcifications: elements for diagnostic (author's transl)].

Among the radiologic calcifications, those of parasitic etiology are rather commonly found. They are heterotopic dystrophic calcifications, their late apparition in the evolution of the parasitic disease is not subordinate to any metabolic dysfunction. The authors describe the morphologic and the topographic criteria of different parasitic calcifications except the fungic ones and protozoaire. Moreover they state for each parasite some epidemiological, biological and clinical facts which can be helpful for the diagnosis.

[Lymphographic pictures in angio-immunoblastic lymphadenopathy (author's transl)].

Angio-immunoblastic lymphadenopathy, which has been recently individualized, is seen clinically as a stade III or IV haematosarcoma. Its etiopathogeny is mysterious and histological diagnosis is often difficult. Lymphography can assist diagnosis for, in an appreciable number of cases, the pictures which appear in association make it possible to distinguish between haematosarcomas occurring in Hodgkin's disease and others.

[Double contrast radiological study of the small intestine with duodeno-jejunal intubation. The technique used at the Nice University Hospital Centr with a report of first results (author's transl)].

The authors have carried out 80 radiological studies by duodeno-jejunal intubation using a tube which they themselves perfected. The technique is simple and easily reveals organic lesions. Barium studies of the small intestine via duodeno-jejunal intubation further makes it possible to assess its tone and peristalsis. The authors feel this technique to be the most suitable for this technique purpose.
