[Double contrast radiography in the study of the gastric posterior wall (author's transl)].

The authors report their experience about 2,422 examinations with double contrast radiography in the study of the gastric posterior wall. This technique is of great value in the detection, analysis and follow-up of gastric ulcerations. In 54 per cent of cases, the double contrast radiography showed endoscopically proven ulcerations, which where not recognized by standard barium meal technique. The diagnosis of the benign tumours of the posterior wall of the stomach has been also increased bay double contrast radiography. Thus, this technique is recommended for routine examination of the stomach.

[Isolated intramural hematoma of the sigmoid. A rare complication of anticoagulant treatment].

The authors report a case of intra-mural hematoma of the sigmoid associated with anticoagulant therapy. The small intestine is the site of predilection for intra-mural hematoma and the colonic site is very unusual. Our case was revealed by an obstructive syndrome. The diagnosis, suggested by the increased prothrombin time, was confirmed by ultrasonography and endoscopy. The treatment was symptomatic with nasogastric suction and correction of any hemostatic disorders.

[Natural history of glandulocystic fundic polyposis in Gardner's syndrome].

The authors report 3 cases of fundic gland polyposis associated with Gardner's syndrome. Control endoscopies revealed fundic gland polyposis disappearance 14, 14, and 7 years respectively after discovery, and colectomy performed at ages 29, 30, and 32, respectively. This regression, described in autonomous fundic gland polyposis, is poorly documented in Gardner's syndrome. This phenomenon is not related to colectomy. However no explanation is currently available, and further studies are necessary to determine the factors related to the natural history of fundic gland polyposis in familial adenomatosis coli/Gardner's syndrome.
