[Intestinal autograft: creation of an isolated intestinal segment by entero-enteropexy].

An isolated bowell segment (IBS) was created in rats by a two-stage procedure. Initial lateral entero-enteropexy between small and colonic bowell was performed. Six weeks later, the small bowell mesentery was divided. After four weeks, the survival animals were killed, the viability of the segment is maintained by developing vascular collateral across the coaptation between both intestinal segments, under light microscopy the willi were atrophied on 50% of animals.

Gastroesophageal reflux in association with the Sandifer syndrome.

Eight children presenting with the Sandifer syndrome (with neck contorsion, radiologic studies of the cervical spine and normal neurologic exploration) have been studied in relation to gastro-esophageal reflux (GER). In the eight cases barium swallow, 24 h pH-metering, manometry, endoscopy and biopsy were made, presenting pathological GER. The barium swallow was pathologic in 62% of them. The pH-metering in 37%. The lower esophageal sphincter pressures were decreased in 37%, with esophageal motility alteration in 75%. Signs of macro and/or microscopic esophagitis were found in 62%. Three patients received surgical treatment and the rest medical treatment, with improvement of the neck contorsion in all cases. We have attempted to evaluate which one of the functional explorations for the GER diagnosis is better in this kind of patients, and we have demonstrated that the most frequently found alteration is the esophageal dysmotility.

[Helicobacter pylori infection and duodeno-gastric reflux].

We have studied and measured the duodenogastric reflux in 11 children with chronic abdominal pain and Helicobacter pylori (HP) through 24-hours gastric pH-metric studies. All parameters evaluated: Number of reflux episodes (NR 92.87 +/- 27.66), number of reflux episodes longer than 5.0 minutes (NR > 5M 11.45 +/- 4.68), longest reflux episode (LR 67.37 +/- 45.57) and alkaline reflux area (AA 604.89 +/- 443.54) had significative differences against a normal group (40 children). We concluded that duodenogastric reflux and HP are frequent together.

[Ventral diverticula of the bulbous urethra].

We report 5 male patients with ventral diverticula of the bulbous urethra. There was urinary infection in 4 cases, urethral obstruction in 1 and voiding disturbances in 1. Urethral catheterism had been performed previously for various reasons in three patients. Urethroscopic evaluation was successfully completed with endourethral resection in four instances. Based on our morphologic findings we believe that the relationship between these diverticula and dilatation of Cowper's gland ducts is beyond doubt. The cause of this dilatation remains unclear, but mechanical factors, like catheterism, can play a role.

[Pilomatrixoma: a frequent and little known pediatric tumor].

Pilomatrixoma is a benign dermal tumor which is quite frequently observed, but although 50 % of the cases are treated during childhood, it is not well known among paediatricians and paediatric surgeons. Authors report 12 cases localized mainly in the face, neck and upper limbs. Tumors were located in deep dermal layers, they were small, hard and brown or yellow-colored. Microscopic examination revealed basophilic cells which were quite similar to those of basocellular carcinoma, and took origin from hair matrix, and momified or "ghost" cells embedded in a giant cell stroma; lesion was well limited and extended down to subcutaneous fat. In two cases there was a history of infection or insect bites in the site of the lesion and in another one two pilomatrixomas were successively removed from a child whose family had von Recklinghausen's disease. In the majority of patients, preoperative diagnosis was not made, a fact witnessing that this is badly known and justifies this report.

Hydatid renal cyst with characteristic sonographic pattern. A case report.

The kidney is a rare localisation of the hydatid cyst even in countries with a high rate of infestation. We report a case of renal hydatid cyst in a five-year-old girl. Conventional radiology did not yield any diagnosis, whereas in this case renal ultrasonography showed characteristic echographic signs pointing to the origin of the disease.

Cryptorchidism and persistence of Müllerian remnants in a normal male.

A four-year-old boy was explored for bilateral cryptorchidism. Operation led to the discovery of two intraabdominal testes with their corresponding vasa, two Fallopian tubes and a small uterus. No urological anomalies were found except for a vesico-ureteral reflux. Cystourethroscopy revealed a normal male tract. Sexual chromatine was negative and karyotype was 46, XY. A normal rise in testosterone serum level was recorded after stimulation with CGH. At operation both gonads could be placed extra-abdominally and the female internal structures were biopsied and left in place. This very unusual condition is derived from the absence of regression of Müllerian structures during fetal life due to a deficit in testicular secretion of anti-Müllerian hormone. The current knowledge on this topic is updated.

Child, Preschool↗

[Rectal agenesis with absent bladder in a female newborn (author's transl)].

This paper reports a very unusual variety of female ano-rectal agenesis without fistula associated with severe urogenital malformations. The patient died of renal failure and, at autopsy, both ureters draining dysplastic ectopic kidneys and two vaginas, either with its corresponding uterus and annexa were found opening to s single perineal orifice through a very narrow conduit. Bladder and urachus were absent and a single left umbilical artery was found. This infant had also thoracic vertebral anomalies.

[Mesenteric cystic lymphangiomas (report of three cases) (author's transl)].

Three cases of mesenteric cystic lymphangiomas in children are reported. All of them were found during laparotomies for acute abdomen, and their pathology was rather similar, except for the contents which was chylous in the two cases located in the jejunum and serous in the remaining ileal case. One of these tumours contained calcified material, a fact which makes diagnostic suspicion possible. The literature on this topic is up-dated.

[Gallstones in infancy (author's transl)].

Authors present a 22 month old female, suffering from biliary lithiasis, diagnosted before surgery by endovenous cholangiography, associated to cataracts and neurological impairment. Current etiopathogenic views are briefly exposed, pointing out that incidence of gallstones has ceased to be exceptional.
