[Computed tomography examination of normal adrenal glands (author's transl)].

Computed tomography was used to examine the adrenal glands of 100 normal subjects. This investigation, which is simple to conduct, and causes only slight disturbance to the subject, was able to identify the right adrenal in 92% of cases and the left gland in 95% of subjects. The morphological aspect of the normal gland is that of an inverted "Y" but the absence of one or both limbs of the "Y" can give an appearance of a comet or a triangle respectively. The contour is always concave or rectilinear, and any tumor which extends beyond the gland should, theoretically, be detectable. Computed tomography is therefore the method of choice for examining normal or pathological adrenal glands, and its reliability and precision appear to be superior to that of ultrasonography.

[Computed tomography examination of adrenal tumors in adults (author's transl)].

The results of computed tomography examination of adrenal tumors in 19 adults patients are reported. Diagnosis of an adenoma during Cushing's syndrome is possible, as well as detection of spread of an adrenal cortex tumor. Avascular pheochromocytoma and Conn's adenomas less than 1 cm in diameter, occurring during the course of hypertensive disease, can also be demonstrated. In cases of adrenal metastases, the main value of the CT scan is to enable precise stereotaxic biopsies to be conducted, and to allow modification of therapy as a function of results.

[Arterial hypertension and horseshoe kidney during Von Recklinghausen's disease. Angiographic study and review of the literature (author's transl)].

Angiographic studies in a young girl aged 16 years who developed arterial hypertension during the course of Von Recklinghausen's disease, demonstrated the presence of an obliterated renal artery in a horseshoe kidney. The distal arterial segment was revascularized by two homolateral ureteral arteries. A full review of the literature revealed 30 cases of renal artery lesions for which angiography had been carried out in young people with neurofibromatosis. This demonstrates the low incidence of obliterative lesions (4 cases throughout the world) which are always associated with collateral vascularization. It was not possible to apply the usual surgical treatment in our case because of the associated horseshoe kidney.

[Voluminous hypernephroma of intermittent development. Diagnostic difficulties (author's transl)].

The authors report a case of cancer of the kidney of intermittent development for which nephro-urotomography was negative. They stress the interest of: --preliminary echotomography in patients with palpable masses in the left hypochondrium; --pharmaco-angiography for improved visualization of masses that are only weakly opaque; --a rapid infusion technique, proposed by various authors, which appears to be the most appropriate for the study of this type of mass which is mainly intermittent in its development.

[Congenital malformations of the inferior vena cava. Embryological, anatomical and radiological study (author's transl)].

Congenital malformations of the inferior vena cava are characterized by their diversity which is related to the complexity of the embryological development of this vessel. The authors review the embryogenesis and origin of the different segments of the inferior vena cava and describe the various types of malformation, including the causative embryological abnormality, ther frequency, possible clinical repercussions, and radiological aspects. Phlebocavography is essential for the identification of the various types of abnormality. Five different types of malformation are reported. Three of these are relatively rare (left inferior vena vaca, congenital membrane of the inferior vena cava, absence of the hepatic segment with continuation of the isolated azygos segment).

[Inferior mesenteric arteriovenous fistula of congenital origin. A report on one case and review of the published literature (author's transl)].

A fourth case of inferior mesenteric arteriovenous fistula of congenital origin is described by the authors, who also review the general characteristics of mesenteric (or portal) arteriovenous fistulae. Early clinical signs are hemorrhage from the digestive tract and chronic anemia. Endoscopy and barium X-rays are normal, and angiography is the only means of diagnosis. Surgical treatment is essential because of the risk of hemorrhages and portal hypertension.

[Broncho-alveolar spread in a case of juvenile laryngeal papillomatosis (author's transl)].

The authors report the case of a 30-year-old man suffering from juvenile laryngeal papillomatosis, recurrent since the age of 4. 23 years later, multiple round opacities were found in the lungs, progressing slowly to excavation. Bronchoscopy with broncho-aspiration provided histological confirmation of the diagnosis of broncho-alveolar spread of the papillomatosis, made on the basis of plain films and tomography.
