[Torsion of the testicle in the newborn: report of 3 cases (author's transl)].
The authors report 3 cases of torsion of the spermatic pedicle in the newborn and give us a very complete review of the literature. The term torsion of the testicle should be replaced by torsion of the "spermatic pedicle", the exact level of the torsion being different in the adolescent from the newborn. In the adolescent, it is the horizontal position of the testicle with lengthening of the intravaginal portion of the pedicle or yet the existence of a true membrane between the epididymis and the testicle which favors intravaginal torsion. This anatomical predisposition was bilateral nine times out of ten. In the newborn, it is the testicle and the tunica vaginalis not yet fixed which, as on a pivot, turn with the cord which lies above the tunica vaginalis. The unevenness of the cremasteric fibers and the (Terme non familier) in the helicoid spermatic veins can facilitate the torsion. Bilateral torsion is even possible in the newborn. The clinical features of torsion in the newborn is non-tenderness when the scrotum is swollen, ecchymotic or nontransilluminating. The only logical approach is emergency surgical exploration. Unfortunately, the already irreversible ischemic necrosis (illégible) a castration. The possibility of bilatertion of the opposite testicle. The nontenderness of the lesion explains the frequent error in diagnosis and a certain number of cases of testicular atrophy in adults from birth.
[Intra renal teratoma. Study of a case in an infant (author's transl)].
Solid, intra renal tumors of children and infants are in most cases nephroblastomas. All the other types of solid tumors, malignant or benign, are very rare. This observation seems to be the seventh case of intra renal teratoma in the literature. The entire upper pole of the left kidney had disappeared, being occupied by a large tumor which proved to be solid upon specific examinations. Anatomo-pathologic examination, following nephrectomy, proved it to be benign.
[Priapism in a 13 year old boy. Caverno-spongiosal anastomosis with a successful result (author's transl)].
Idiopathic priapism is rare and even more so when it affects a pre-pubertal child. The authors study this curious disorders on the basis of one case and show the value of caverno-spongiosal anastomosis, even when carried out late.
