[Pseudo-polypoid forms of crohn's disease (author's transl)].

Crohn's disease with a predominantly pseudopolypoid presentation is a rare form. The inflammatory polyps are of highly variable topography. They may be located in the colon and the ileum. There are diffuse and localised forms. This pseudopolypoid form of Crohn's disease poses, in addition to diagnostic problems, pathogenic questions, integrating these findings within the context of nonspecific reactions of the colon, secondary to an ulcerating process which may be specific.

[Peri-ano-rectal cysts and tumours of vestigial origin in the adult (author's transl)].

Four cases of cysts or tumours developing from embryological remnants in the peri-ano-rectal space are reported. The authors propose for these rare lesions a coherent and simplified classification in two main groups: teratomas on the one hand, developmental cysts on the other hand. The various methods of diagnosis are studied. The precise diagnosis of a congenital cyst can only be made by pathological examination of the specimen after surgical removable. Any rapid local change implied malignant degeneration. Such a risk suggests immediate removal of any known ano-rectal cyst or tumour. The route of approach is usually perineal. Kraske's position gives good access to the retro-ano-rectal space. Possible pelvic spread of these lesions sometimes requires the use of the abdominal approach, either straight away or secondarily when total removal is impossible by the perineal route alone.

Continuous low rate enteral feeding.

The original method of continuous low rate enteral feeding is used in cases of nutritious deficiencies and is found to be of value in view of its scientific and technical advantages. Its value is demonstrated by 95% satisfactory results. Furthermore, its low cost, handiness and ease of operation make it accessible to any medical or surgical center where it may have a preferential if not exclusive place.

Some serum protein studies in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

An auto-immune origin was postulated previously for ulcerative colitis. The present results do not support this hypothesis. Crohn's disease has been compared to sarcoidosis and lymphogranuloma venereum. Crohn's disease may be a virus infection coming from the bowel content. The virus may multiply, for instance, inside the submucosal lymphocytes.
