[Hydatid cyst of the psoas muscle. Diagnosis using the CT scanner].

A 30-year-old Maroccan man was admitted with a swelling in the right iliac fossa and right flank. Serology gave negative results but ultrasonography and CT scan images were suggestive of a hydatid cyst of the psoas muscle. A cystectomy was followed by total recovery. Hydatid cysts are rarely detected in France and their clinical and diagnostic characteristics are discussed. Ultrasonography and particularly CT scaner imaging are effective diagnostic procedures, avoiding unnecessary needle punctures and enabling adequate therapeutic measures to be instituted.

[Disunion of colo-rectal anastomosis after surgery].

Breakdown of sutures is the main complication of colonic and rectal surgery. The percentage of breakdowns is between 5 and 10 p. 100. The latter may be obvious as shown by a fistula or by peritonitis. But they may also be latent and present with septicemic shock. One must then detect the breakdown by the association of clinical, radiological and laboratory signs in order to re-operate immediately. Intensive care plays a very important role in the treatment of this lesion. Suture breakdown is sometimes unforseeable, but it may be avoided by taking into consideration certain prophylactic rules which are analysed here.
