[Vertebral osteonecrosis. Apropos of 4 cases with slow spinal cord compression in 1 case].

The authors report on four cases of aseptic osteonecrosis of the vertebral body in adults (VON). Among these, one patient, in whom histological data were available, presented with a slow spinal cord compression syndrome (SSCCS). This complication is uncommon since only one other similar case has been reported so far (4). VON thus remains an underestimated etiology of SSCCS by non-tumoral compression fracture of the vertebral body. Diagnosis is based on the roentgenograms which evidence osteocondensation with "gaseous dissection" of the vertebral body, the latter being considered as pathognomonic of this disease. The etiopathogeny is still unknown. Treatment is purely symptomatic and the course has always been favorable.

[Intraoral minor salivary gland tumors. Report of 296 cases (author's transl)].

296 intraoral minor salivary gland tumors were observed among 702 salivary tumors. The study emphasizes a frequent palatine location, observed in more than 50 per cent of theses tumors. Pleiomorphic adenomas (or so called mixed tumors), are frequently encountered; but it is noteworthy that the proportion of muco-epidermoid tumors or adenoid cystic carcinoma is higher among theses tumors than among major salivary glands; this fact explain a poor overall prognosis of minor salivary gland tumors.

Production of mycophenolic acid by Penicillium roqueforti strains.

Sixteen strains of Penicillium roqueforti Thom, isolated from blue-molded cheeses, were studied. In vitro, all of these strains produced mycophenolic acid, some on the order of 0.8 to 4 mg/g od dry culture. The greatest yields were obtained after 10 days of incubation of cultures at 15 degrees C. However, under some experimental conditions, mycophenolic acid was not alone responsible for the toxicity of culture extracts to chicken embryos.

Intrarenal teratoma in a newborn child.

A case of intrarenal teratoma in a newborn child is reported. The scarcity as well as the clinical and radiological signs of this lesion are emphasized and the difficulties to distinguish it from a nephroblastoma are analyzed. Solid intrarenal tumours in the infant and the newborn child are in nearly all cases nephroblastomas. All other types of solid tumours (benign or malignant) are exceptional. This induces us to report the present case.

[Massive digestive hemorrhage caused by arterial malformation of the jejunum. Diagnostic value of emergency arteriography].

A case of massive digestive bleeding due to an arterial abnormality of the jejunal wall is reported. Its interest is twofold: a) After a complete endoscopic and operative examination of the GI tract proved negative, an emergency superior mesenteric angiography was the only investigation which allowed to recognize the site and mechanism of the bleeding; b) from a nosologic point of view, the clinico-pathological picture was entirely similar to that of "Dieulafoy's erosion", a syndrome which has been only described, up to now, in the gastric mucosa.

Jejunal bleeding from a solitary large submucosal artery. Report of two cases.

Two young patients with massive intestinal bleeding resulting from a solitary submucosal arterial abnormality of the jejunum are reported. In one case, the bleeding lesion was localized only by emergency abdominal angiography, while a previous exploratory laparotomy proved negative. The vascular lesion encountered in both patients consisted of a wide caliber artery lying in the jejunal submucosa; there was no evidence of true aneurysm on serial sections. The clinicopathological picture closely resembles that of lesions previously described in the stomach under the name of "gastric submucosal aneurysms" in the English literature, or of "gastric Dieulafoy's erosion" in the French literature. It is suggested that the vascular lesions herein reported should be called "solitary large submucosal artery" or "Dieulafoy-like erosion" of the jejunum.
