[Osteoid osteoma of the femur neck with synovitis simulating chronic monoarthritis of the hip].

The authors report a case of subperiosteal osteoid osteoma of the femoral neck in a 14 year-old girl presenting as chronic hip monoarthritis with narrowed coxofemoral joint space and non specific histological synovitis. They analyse the synovitis which is associated with some osteoid osteomas (hip, elbow, knee, ankle bones) emphasizing the "pseudo-arthritis of the hip" picture and insist that all cases of unexplained chronic monoarthritis of the hip should suggest subperiosteal osteoid osteoma of the neck.

[Urethroperineal fistula in the left lateroposition (author's transl)].

The authors describe a case of urethroperineal fistula in the lateropostion. It is a rare malformation, with a varied symptomatology, which requires radiological investigations for its morphological and topographical study. Surgical treatment varies as a function of the site and size of the fistula. Basing their comments on the studies by STEPHENS [12], the authors try to give an embryological explanation of this affection.

[Circumscribed non-tuberculous osteomyelitis in children. Apropos of 31 cases].

Over the last eight years (1975-1983) a total of 31 cases of circumscribed non-tuberculous osteomyelitis in children have been treated as against 21 cases of classical acute osteomyelitis, suggesting transformation of the mode of presentation of this disease. Lesions were located in the pelvis (8 cases), the calcaneum (3 cases) and the long bones (20 cases), the metaphysis being affected in the latter in 13 patients, the diaphysis in 4 and the epiphysis in three. Specific radiologic images for each location are defined. Clinical expression was subacute and signs of infection inconstant. Differential diagnosis is discussed in relation to each region involved, a positive diagnosis depending on clinical, biologic and radiologic findings, with the need for biopsy in case of doubt. The latter was necessary in 12 of the 31 children. Diagnosis was confirmed in all cases by the favorable outcome from treatment.

[Mesenteric lipomas in children: a report on one case (author's transl)].

A case of mesenteric lipoma presenting as an isolated abdominal masse in a boy of 20 months is reported. Diagnosis was made from the appearance of the fatty mass in a straight abdominal film. Radiological examination was completed by urography and echotomography. The analysis of 11 identical cases found in the literature enabled the principal clinical and radiological characterists of this affection to be defined and evoked the problems of differential diagnosis from other lipomatous abdominal masses and cystic lymphangioma.

[Total agenesis of the corpus callosum: ultrasonographic appearances. In two cases].

Transfontanellar ultrasonography in two neonates demonstrated total agenesis of the corpus callosum: this was confirmed by computed tomography in one case, this not being necessary in the other infant. Diagnostic signs on pneumoencephalography and computed tomography are described, and those observed on supplementary ultrasonography are outlined: absence of the corpus callosum normally observed on ultrasonography, and the radial disposition, in a sagittal section, of the sulci of the internal surface of the cerebral hemispheres, which appears to be specific to this type of malformation. A frontal section shows a very typical "bull's head" deformity of the ventricular system.
