[The repair of large abdominal dehiscences by anchored mersilene plates (author's transl)].

We propose a new technique for repair of abdominal ventral eventration, using a large mersilene mesh prothesis which is sutured to the anterior pelvic ridge below (Cooper's ligament and the dorsal aspect of the conjoint tendon) and to the intra-abdominal aspect of the ventral abdominal wall above, by means of three sub-costal attachments which have been compared to boat shrouds. This prostetic sheet therefore runs through two distinct anatomical spaces and is fixed to the abdominal wall all along its periphery.

[Microangiopathic anaemia with thrombocytopaenia. Cure following excision of an angioma of the small intestine (author's transl)].

The association of a mixed anaemia (by occult haemorrhage and microangiopathic haemolysis) with a thrombocytopaenia led to a search for a digestive angioma. Arteriography, followed by exploratory laparotomy with preoperative enteroscopy and frozen section histological examination, led to the discovery of a small bowel angioma (multiple phlebectasias) which was partially resected. A review of the literature emphasised the rarity of intestinal angiomas with thrombocytopaenia (Kasabach and Merrit syndrome) and forms a basis for the discussion of haematological abnormalities (intravascular coagulation, microangiopathic anaemia) which may be induced by such vascular malformations.

[Clinical and biochemical study of 2 cases of lipomatosis].

The authors report two cases of lipomatosis. Biochemical study of lipomas revealed, in comparison with normal adipose tissue:--an increase in lipasic lipoprotein activity;--a decrease in lipasic triglyceride activity. These changes could be in part implicated in the mechanisms of fatty accumulation within the lipomas, without explaining the topography and encapsulation.

[Renal insufficiency and diabetes cured by removal of a villous tumor of the rectum].

A case of villous tumour of the rectum presenting in a misleading fashion : clinically, an apparent adrenal insufficiency and biologically renal insufficiency and diabetes. The abnormal glucose metabolism was attributed to potassium deficiency. The conditions and frequency of occurence of hydroelectrolytic problems in association with villous tumours and the various presenting features, some misleading, are discussed. The difficulties of diagnosis and treatment are emphasised.
