Erosive spondylopathy.

Seven patients with chronic dorsolumbar pain, stiffness and some restriction of spinal movements are described. Multiple lesions of the vertebral bodies were present. The lesions occurred at various levels and all had similar radiological characteristics, often returning to normal after several years. Vertebral changes of this type may be seen in patients with ankylosing spondylitis but for a variety of cogent reasons presented in this report our patients did not readily fall into this diagnostic group. The aetiology of these vertebral lesions is unknown but available evidence indicates that they should not be attributed to an infectious or neoplastic process.

Radiological findings in multiple hamartoma syndrome (Cowden disease): a report of three cases.

The radiological findings in three cases of multiple hamartoma syndrome (MHS) (Cowden disease) are reported. MHS was associated with a widespread distribution of polyps of varied morphology along the gastrointestinal tract. There was an isolated case of bladder carcinoma, and the one woman studied had breast masses. In view of the nonspecific clinical findings in this disease, which may also suggest carcinoma, the importance of the radiological recognition of MHS is stressed.

Anatomo-radiological study of a case of post-radiotherapeutic osteolysis of the hip.

Anatomo-radiological study of a case of osteolysis of the femoral head and neck in a 56-year old male who had recieved, 22 years earlier, an intense radiotherapeutic treatment for a soft tissue tumour of the corresponding hip region. The treatment is considered as being the main etiological factor responsible for the bone lesions. The latter seems to have been favored by an indolent joint due to a thoracic cordotomy for post-irradiation pains; it may have been prepared by a secondary osteodystrophy which preceded the radiotherapy and seems due to two previous surgical excisions.
