[Acute gastric volvulus secondary to asplenia in a child with Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome].

An acute gastric volvulus in a 10 years old boy with Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome is reported. He was immediately operated on and an organoaxial volvulus secondary to spleen agenesia was found. No other visceral malformation was present. Because of gastric ischemia, a second-look procedure was performed 48 hours later in order to asses necrosis extent. Gastric fundus had to be resected and the stomach was definitively fixed to the abdominal wall. Clinical, radiological and therapeutic characteristics of this unusual pathology are reviewed.

[Obstructive candidiasis: a process with surgical solution].

We describe three severe clinic cases due to fungus balls of Candida albicans in hospitalized risky patients which presented a quickly clinical evolution. Because of their different local presentations medical and surgical management was needed. In the first case a intestinal fungus ball was found whereas in the other two cases were localized in the urinary tract. Here we present their clinical findings rather than their evolution after a medical and surgical management.

Cerebral infarction associated with cocaine use.

We report the case of a young man with an acute infarction of the left putamen and caudate nucleus, whose symptoms appeared six hours after intranasal use of approximately 0.5 g of cocaine hydrochloride. It seems probably that in this patient cocaine consumption played a role in the development of stroke.
