[Dieulafoy's exulceratio simplex: a rare cause of digestive bleeding].

Among the various, uncommon sources of digestive bleeding due to vascular malformation, Dieulafoy's disease--a peculiar clinical and histological entity--usually causes the most pronounced hemorrhage. A case admitted to our hospital for massive bleeding requiring emergency surgery is presented. The most qualified pathogenetic hypotheses and the importance of diagnostic accuracy before operation are emphasized and stress is laid on therapeutic endoscopy on the basis of literature data.

[A rare case of recurrent meningitis: intranasal encephalocele].

Intranasal meningoencephalocele is a rare malformation characterized by a protrusion of brain tissue and meninges out of the cranial cavity into the nose, through a discontinuity of the ethmoidal cribriform plate. It is a congenital anomaly but it may be also due to trauma or to chronic intracranial hypertension. It is clinically apparent as a small mass that may be confused with nasal polyp. A cerebrospinal fluid leakage may be present. In a few cases it gives no symptoms until adulthood, but usually recurrent meningitis may occur. A case of young woman with intranasal encephalomeningocele who suffered from 18 episodes of meningitis is reported. Nevertheless she is at present without neurological consequences.
