Radiological aspects of the small bowel after extensive resection in children.

The authors present radiological aspects of small bowel after extensive resection. They describe the main phenomena related to compensatory hypertrophy: dilatation of the loops, mucosal fold-thickening and motor disturbances. The main complications demonstrated by the radiological examination are presented; gallstones, non-functioning anastomosis, bacterial overgrowth.

[Idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis (author's transl)].

A young girl aged 13 years was hospitalized for metaphyseal fractures of both knees, and was found to have idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis which followed a favourable course over a period of one year. The authors recall the difficulties encountered in diagnosing this rare affection as no specific biological changes have been demonstrated. The criteria used are: the age of the patient, the disease usually becoming evident in the prepuberty period, the contrast between the very severe osteoporosis noted on radiological examination and the perfect general condtion of the patient, the negative biological tests results, and finally, the spontaneous repair of the osteoporosis in one to four years.

Myotonic dystrophy (Steinert's disease) in the neonate.

Radiological abnormalities of the ribs are reported in 5 newborn infants with myotonic dystrophy. In all 5, the ribs appeared very thin, in contrast to the normal appearance of the rest of the skeleton. This slenderness, which is important for diagnosis and prognosis, seems to be caused by hypotonia of the intercostal muscles. However, it is not pathognomonic of myotonic dystropy, for it can be observed in other myopathies.

[Ureter opening into the seminal vesicle (author's transl)].

The authors present a case of ectopic opening of the left ureter into the seminal tract. This was a very young child (14 months). The diagnosis was made on intravenous pyelography on direct signs (opacification of the malformation). There was a wide communication between the latter and the posterior urethra as was shown on retrograde urethrocystography. The urinary tracts on the side of the lesion were very fine, and there was an outline of a very mildly functional kidney. Embryologically it is a case of absence of separation between the ureteral bud and the Wolffian canal.

[Isthmus lysis and spondylolisthesis. A traumatic pathology].

Fourty-five children presenting with an isthmic lysis, complicated or not with spondylolisthesis were studied. The authors suggest that the isthmic lysis could be a stress-induced lesion, a "fatigue fracture" which may heal if treated early, before spondylolisthesis occurs. The main point is therefore an early diagnosis.
