[Radicular sciatica due to an intrarachidian mucoid cyst in a child].

In a 15 years old boy, a sciatica appears, at surgery, to be related with the compression of one SI root, and into the epidural space, by a pseudo-cyst, limited by a connective wall and containing a mucoid substance. Authors note the similarity of this lesion with the para-synovial cysts of extremities and with the colloid degeneration of the tunica adventitia of some vessels or of the connective sheath of the peripheric nerves. To their knowledge, such formations with mucoid content, at the spinal level, have only been reported on in the adult subject; they insist therefore on their patient's young age.

Neonatal cholestasis in Kashmiri children.

Neonatal cholestasis is prolonged elevation of conjugated serum bilirubin (more than 20% of total bilirubin) beyond first 14 days of life. After extensive evaluation a diagnosis of either biliary atresia or neonatal hepatitis is made in 70-80% of cases. Neonatal hepatitis and biliary atresia form a pathophysiologic process directed at various levels of the hepatobiliary tract. Inflammation in the bile duct epithelium may result in the sclerosis and obliteration of the bile ducts and manifest as biliary atresia. Primary hepatocellular inflammation is more likely to result in neonatal hepatitis. Half of the cases of neonatal hepatitis resolve without sequelae, while most of the biliary atresia cases require surgical intervention for repair or, ultimately, liver transplant.

[Anterior sacral meningocele. Report on 2 cases treated by the abdominal approach].

Anterior sacral meningocele is a rare affection (150 cases published) that is frequently misdiagnosed with resulting inappropriate, always dangerous treatment. Diagnosis should however be simple to establish on the finding of a fluid hypogastric mass attached to the sacrum with associated radiologic anomalies of the sacrum. Two cases are reviewed and diagnostic and surgical therapy features discussed.
