Subungual glomus tumor: combined use of MRI and three-dimensional contrast MR angiography.

We describe a case of digital glomus tumor diagnosed by MRI and three-dimensional contrast MR angiography (MRA). Images provided the formal definitive diagnosis and the precise localization of the tumor, guiding the necessary surgical resection. It is possible that noninvasive MRA could replace conventional arteriography for the evaluation of patients with clinical suspicion of glomus tumor.

[Septic shock during the immediate post-partum period revealing a liver abscess in a woman with Crohn's disease].

Liver abscess is a rare complication of Crohn's disease. We report one case in a 27 year-old woman, presenting as a sepsis after delivery. Crohn's disease was quiescent at presentation. Pregnancy was the only predisposing condition. An intestinal fistula was diagnosed by ultrasonography. The patient was treated by antibiotics, bowel resection and surgical drainage of the abscess.

[Autochthonous malaria and malarian liver. Apropos of 1 case].

Report of the case of a patient, store-keeper at the Roissy airport, suffering from an autochtonous primo-invasion falciparum malaria. The clinical symptoms were hectic fever and painful hepatomegalia, followed 14 days after by a typical tertian fever. All investigations being negative, a laparoscopy was carried out, which showed a black liver, and a biopsy demonstrated the malaria pigment in Küpffer cells. Malaria was confirmed by the study of a blood smear. This diagnostic hypothesis had not been raised, because of the absence of any epidemiologic argument. It seems necessary to think of autochthonous malaria among the etiologies of prolonged summer fevers in people living or working in the neighbourhood of airports, the more so that the frequency of this peculiar mode of contamination should logically increase.

Reversible renal failure secondary to severe compensated aortic regurgitation.

Severe renal failure associated with proteinuria occurred in a 21-year patient, who had massive rheumatic aortic regurgitation. There was no sign of congestive heart failure or extra-cellular dehydration. Subacute bacterial endocarditis was ruled out by appropriate laboratory investigations. Prosthetic aortic valve replacement resulted in normalization of the renal function and marked reduction of proteinuria. Renal histology showed severe sclerotic endarteritis involving predominantly the large arteries, and membrano-proliferative-like glomerulopathy without immune deposits. The role of the massive aortic regurgitation in the production of renal failure and histologic alterations is suggested.
