[Severe and extensive algodystrophies and malignant tumors. Apropos of 4 cases].

The authors report on 4 cases of particularly severe and extensive reflex neurovascular dystrophy, whose clinical course was marked by the onset of a malignant tumor, without any sign of improvement in the reflex neurovascular dystrophy, despite various therapeutic regimens, until the patient's death from malignancy. At this time, the authors compiled a total of 63 case reports (4 of which were reported) and have proposed a classification to differentiate 4 types of disorders in combination according to whether there is a very probable, probable, or possible link or whether the combination is strictly a coincidence. The pathogenic mechanism remains a mystery, when a link is observed; but it never corresponds to criteria to describe a paraneoplastic disorder. Finally, the authors insist on the practical value of detecting this combination, even if due to chance: in order to systematically detect cancer in the presence of any reflex neurovascular dystrophy, and especially to be conscious of a possible reflex neurovascular dystrophy, besides possible metastatic lesions, in the presence of osteoarticular pain present in a patient with cancer. Such a diagnosis, although difficult to realize, has great prognostic and therapeutic interest.

[Macrogeodic coxitis in ankylosing spondylitis].

The authors report 6 cases of hip disease with macrocavities during ankylosing spondylarthritis, including 5 cases from a series of 57 coxites which occurred in 34 patients out of 340 ankylosing spondylarthritis, observed at Hospital Begin, between 1973 and 1982. In light of their observations, they propose a classification of the hip manifestations of ankylosing spondylarthritis. The hip involvement with microcavities in ankylosing spondyloarthritis is quite different from coxites with macrocavities present in rheumatoid polyarthritis, and represent more likely a post-inflammatory arthritic type of hip disease than a particular form of coxitis. Hip disease with macrocavities in ankylosing spondylarthritis is a severe form of hip disease, and frequently requires the installation of a total prosthetic replacement.

[Severe algodystrophy of the foot simulating ischemic arteriopathy. Spectacular cure by regional sympathetic block with guanethidine].

The authors report a case of severe algodystrophy of the foot complicating a typical episode of algodystrophy of the knee, and which resulted in appearances of acute ischaemia of the foot. Paraclinical investigations seemed to support this aetiology but arteriography excluded this diagnosis, showing only regular distal arterial narrowing. This case illustrates the extremely variable clinical and paraclinical features of algodystrophy and the possibility of significant hypofixation from the onset and during the course of algodystrophy in young patients. It shows that there are no specific, constant clinical signs or paraclinical changes. From the therapeutic point of view, it confirms the often spectacular effects of prolonged regional sympathetic nerve block with Guanethidine which may give an immediate and definitive cure of severe algodystrophy when all else has failed.

[Algodystrophy in children and young adults with low isotope retention in the bones. Apropos of 5 cases].

The authors report 5 observations of young adults, 3 teen-agers and 2 children suffering from algodystrophy, and in whom isotopic exploration of the skeleton disclosed a clear bony hypofixation during the entire evolution. These observations confirm their 1981 work concerning a young adult suffering from algodystrophy with isotopic bony hypofixation. Recent Canadian and American studies emphasize also the frequency of isotopic hypofixation in children algodystrophy. It seems, therefore, that isotopic bony hypofixation (linked perhaps to a decreased blood flow), is rather specific of algodystrophy in young subjects.

[Bone involvement in histiocytosis X in adults. 11 cases].

The authors report 11 cases of bone lesions associated with histiocytosis X in adults, with a total of 25 bone sites: 22 were detected on X-rays and 3 were detected on scintigraphy when the corresponding X-rays were normal. They stress the high incidence of cranio-facial involvement, predominantly in the maxillae, with premature localised loosening of the teeth. They recommend X-rays in the staging of histiocytosis X and reserve scintigraphy for the cases with normal or doubtful X-rays. The bone lesions do not affect the prognosis of histiocytosis X, which depends on the associated visceral lesions. It generally has a favourable outcome and requires careful treatment: limited to a localised procedure for the purposes of histological diagnosis or to control the local underlying visceral risk or the functional complications. Bone lesions do not usually participate in the decision to treat histiocytosis X by chemotherapy.
