[Complications of pyelo-ureteral duplications in children and their surgical treatment. Apropos of 69 cases (78 pathogenic duplications)].

The authors report their experience on the surgical treatment of 69 infants and children with pyelo-ureteral duplication. Urinary infection was the main revealing symptom (52 cases). Vesico-ureteral reflux was the major associated anomaly (39 cases) involving most often the lower pole ureter; the surgical correction of the reflux was performed according to the technique of Cohen with a favorable outcome in all cases. Because of poorly functioning and dysplastic upper renal segment, partial upper pole nephrectomy was performed in 8 among 12 cases of associated ectopic ureteral orifice and in 9 among 15 cases of associated ureterocele. A reimplantation of the ureter was made possible in 3 cases of ectopic ureteral orifice and in 5 cases of ureterocele with little corresponding renal lesions. With the experience of one neonate who died from septic shock following partial nephrectomy there were no other post-operative complications in this series.

[2 cases of congenital sternal cleft].

Two cases of upper sternal cleft are reported, the first operated on twenty nine months, the second on six weeks. The authors present a revision of the surgical technics proposed for correction of this rare malformation. The result is better and surgery easier when performed shortly after birth. There two cases had a facial angiomatosis associated.

[Pseudotumoral cystitis in the newborn infant and children. Problems of the differential diagnosis with bladder botryosarcoma. Apropos of 3 cases].

The authors report three cases of pseudo-tumoral cystitis with one prenatally diagnosed by ultra-sound investigation. They point out the difficulties of such a diagnosis. Etiopathogenesis is discussed: though in most of the cases local irritation (due to urinary infection or physical causes) is involved, in several cases no origin is determined.

[About of 82 obstetrical astro-articular injuries of the new-born (excepting brachial plexus palsies). Limits of initial therapeutic aggression and follow-up of evolution, particulary concerning traumatic separation of upper femoral epiphysis (author's transl)].

Obstetrical fracture has not a bad character, because of quick healing and, above all, because of extraordinary modelling by growth. The authors record 33 fractures of long bones which confirm this good prognosis. 20 birth fractures of the clavicule associated with brachial plexus palsies are recorded on account of their pathogenic, diagnostic and therapeutic intricacies. Prognosis of obstetrical traumatic separation of the epiphysis (epiphysiolysis) would be more preoccupying. This feeling is not given off the series of 28 observations recorded which conern 13 upper humeral, 6 lower humeral epiphysis, 1 of 6 upper femoral and 1 lower femoral epiphysis, of upper and lower of tibia. Diagnosis is not so easy, helped, if necessary, by arthrography. The clinical aspect of "pseudo-dislocation" associated with periostal callus, early appearing (about on the 10th day) rectifies diagnosis. Early treatment, as little aggressive as possible, (essentially orthopedic management by tractions along the axis of limb, giving up an anatomy as close as possible to normality) avoids sequellae, not existing at shoulder nor elbow and, if they exist, extremely decreased at hip, and the surgical management of which is always delayed. Initially good result of one birth dislocation of cervical spine, precedently recorded is considerably impaired.
