Ultrasound in obstructive jaundice.

One hundred and twenty-five consecutive patients with obstructive jaundice were prospectively studied by ultrasonography to determine the level and cause of obstruction. These were diagnosed precisely in 80 (72%) and 52 patients (41.6%) respectively. The results were compared with cholangiography. The final diagnosis was established at surgery (97 cases) and fine needle aspiration cytology (28 cases). While US is an excellent screening modality in distinguishing obstructive and non-obstructive jaundice, cholangiography is still the gold standard for determining the precise anatomic level and cause of obstruction.

Extrarenal Wilms' tumor.

A rare case of retroperitoneal extrarenal Wilms' tumor with an unusual presentation is reported. The tumor contained a large cystic component and mimicked ascites clinically.

Ascites↗

Giant hamartoma of liver mimicking malignancy.

Two infants with mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver are reported. This lesion clinically simulates a malignant neoplasm very closely and awareness is essential to avoid unnecessary major hepatic resections. The cases were successfully treated with simple enucleation.

Venous involvement in leprosy: a venographic and histopathological correlation.

Venous system involvement was studied by venography and vein histology in 30 leprosy patients irrespective of age, sex, duration of the disease, and treatment. Vascular abnormalities by venography were seen in 96.3% and by histopathological studies in 76.6% of patients. The percentage and severity of radiological and histological changes increased from tuberculoid to lepromatous in the disease spectrum. Perfect correlation of histology and venography was found in 40% of the paucibacillary patients and good correlation was found in 100%. In multibacillary patients perfect correlation was found in 29.4%, good correlation in 41.1%, and no correlation in 29.4% of the patients.

Jejunal interposition hepaticoduodenostomy for choledochal cyst.

Four cases of choledochal cyst with interesting modes of presentation were managed by excision of the cyst and biliary drainage by a new physiological and antireflux technique of jejunal loop interposition hepaticoduodenostomy. The advantages of this new technique over earlier practiced procedures are discussed.

Vesicoureteric reflux in neonates with anorectal anomalies.

Thirty-six babies born with an anorectal anomaly were evaluated for vesicoureteric reflux in the neonatal period and the progress of the reflux with age was followed. The overall incidence of reflux was 47%, with higher rates in the more severe types of anomaly. Generally, the reflux was of mild grade and tended to resolve with time, except in the short colon syndrome. Urinary sepsis due to a rectourinary communication may have an important role in the development of reflux.

Prone cross-table lateral view: an alternative to the invertogram in imperforate anus.

The prone cross-table lateral radiograph provides equal or sometimes better information, compared to the invertogram, for demonstration of the level of rectal atresia in neonates. Easy positioning, better cooperation of the patient, elimination of the effect of gravity, and better delineation of the rectal gas shadow are the advantages of the prone lateral view. Among the 45 cases compared, equal findings were noted in 37, but in eight babies the level of rectal atresia was more caudal in the prone radiograph than in the invertogram.

Perineal anal transplant in low anorectal anomalies.

Data on 67 female infants who received perineal and transplants for for treatment of low anorectal anomalies over a period of 12 years are presented. The procedure is considered to be safe in neonates and infants. When performed in the first year of life, it does not require a preliminary colostomy and gives good functional and cosmetic results. In older children it should be preceded by a diversion colostomy. The immediate complications are few and are not life threatening; the late results are satisfactory.
