[Avulsion of the posterior vertebral epiphysis and lumbar disk herniation in adolescents].

In adolescents, on lateral radiographs of the vertebral column, the avulsion of a lumbar posterior ring epiphysis is a good argument suggesting a posterior herniation of the intervertebral disk. Two such cases are reported. The pathogeny of this tearing, unusual in adults, is discussed. This avulsion should be compared with the retromarginal anterior disk herniations, often observed at this age.

Computed tomography of the pulmonary fissures: normal anatomy.

Thirty normal computed tomography (CT) examinations of the thorax have been reviewed in order to analyze the anatomy of the pulmonary fissures. The major and minor fissures are constantly visible, and their orientation with respect to the scanning plane appears either as a narrow fibrous line or as a hypovascular band. On both sides, the major and minor fissures are constantly in close contact with the pars interlobaris of the pulmonary arteries.

The value of a portal study in determining the etiology of hepatic masses in the adult.

The intrahepatic portal system was studied by superior mesenteric angiography in 80 patients with hepatic masses. The portal study helped to identify the highly significant portal signs of malignancy (amputations, irregular stenosis, portal hypertension), and, among the malignant tumors, the specific signs of hepatoma (portal trunk amputation, ill-defined hepatographic lacunae, association of portal hypertension with proximal portal amputation). It is concluded that the intrahepatic portal study is essential in pretherapeutic staging. It is better than superselective hepatic arteriography in assessing the involvement of one hepatic lobe when a hypervascular tumor involves the other lobe, and it is indispensable if embolization is planned.

[Systematic hip roentgenograms in infants of 4 months of age in the screening for congenital dislocation of the hip (author's transl)].

The authors report the results of a statistical study undertaken for the screening of congenital dislocation of the hip. 961 children born between September 24, 1977 and June 30, 1978 were examined. Congenital dislocation of the hip was diagnosed in 9 (0.9 % of the cases). Out of these, 4 had no clinical sign of dislocatability at birth. The only determination of acetabular angles cannot be relied upon and qualitative criteria such as ilium thickness must be added.

Internal fracture of a pediatric broviac catheter.

Indwelling central venous catheters have become an integral part of the care of bone marrow transplant patients. Current technology provides the physician with repeated, reliable accesses to the central venous system via centrally placed silastic (Broviac) catheters. This report describes an unusual mechanical complication and a method for catheter salvage.
