[Peripartum cardiomyopathy. Analysis of 3 cases and review of the literature].

Peripartum cardiomyopathy is defined as a syndrome of cardiac failure occurring in the latter part of pregnancy or in the puerperium without obvious cause and without prior evidence of heart disease. Analysis of the particular features of this syndrome and a review of the literature indicate its similarity with other cardiomyopathies in terms of clinical features, natural history and treatment, but maternal and fetal prognosis is poor.

[Uterine fixation to the promontory and the Orr-Loygue operation in associated genital and rectal prolapse].

The association of genital prolapse and rectal prolapse is rare. The authors report six cases of simultaneous mixed prolapse treated surgically via an abdominal approach. The latter technique enables the treatment of genital prolapse by uterine fixation to the promontory and rectal prolapse by rectopexy using the Orr-Loygue technique. Chronic constipation and obstetric trauma are constantly found among etiological factors. Four of our patients had urinary stress incontinence. There were no preoperative complications. One patient reported worsening of her constipation. Mean follow-up is only 20 months (2 months to 3 years), but no recurrences have occurred. Review of the literature and of series with more than fifteen years follow-up shows that the Orr-Loygue operation is reliable with a low complication rate and only rare recurrences.

[Prenatal echographic diagnosis of conjoined twins after 20 weeks of amenorrhea].

Conjoined twins are a rare entity in human teratology. Because early diagnosis of conjoined twins is so difficult as to be almost impossible it is usually only made in labour. Recent progress in the use of ultrasound as a means of diagnosis and also advances in neonatal surgery have stimulated a renewed interest in this malformation. A recent case at the University Hospital Centre of Habib Thameur in Tunis made it possible for us to diagnose the condition after 20 weeks of amenorrhoea and to terminate the pregnancy.

[Primitive choriocarcinoma of the cervix. Apropos of a case].

We report a case history of primitive chorioncarcinoma of the cervix in a woman of 48 years of age. The diagnosis of chorioncarcinoma of the cervix was strongly suggested in the hysterectomy specimen that was obtained during an emergency operation. In fact it consisted of a polypoid mass near the cervix which showed as severe haemorrhage, so that there was no chance of taking a biopsy specimen. The history that the patient gave as well as her clinical and biological findings made it possible to diagnose the case definitively. This trophoblastic tumour resulting from pregnancy is extremely are in the cervix. 60 cases have been published up to now in the world literature. The rareness of this tumour in this site makes it worth while to try to find out the aetiology and pathology of the condition. It is to be distinguished from other chorioncarcinomata in other sites.
