[Apropos of hepatorenal polycystic disease associated with cirrhosis].

The authors report a case of association of cirrhosis with (autosomal dominant) polycystic kidney and liver disease, which is hereditary malformation. The occurrence of hepatic cysts during the disease is relatively common, and the development in general is benign. In this case, the large hepatic cysts are responsible of biliary ducts compression, with clinical and biological cholestasis. Portal hypertension like impaired hepatocellular function develop because of cirrhosis.

[Congenital serous cyst of the orbit with anophthalmos].

The authors reported a case of orbital congenital serous cyst with anophtalmos. It was a third type of Duke Elder classification. Although it looked sporadic, this malformation is hereditary and due to a disharmony between optic cup growth and differenciation. Ultrasonography and scanner could confirm the diagnosis and helped to discard orbital and eyelid angioma and meningocele. After excision, a prosthesis must be adapted in the orbit.

[Dermoid of the cornea. Report of 2 cases of Ida Mann's 2nd type].

At the opposite of epibulbar dermoids (which are isolated or combined), dermoids of IDA MANN's second type are uncommon. The two cases reported had a big size and covered almost the cornea, without damage on the descemet's membrane, the endothelium and the other eyeball structures. This lesion is classified by the W.H.O. among choristomas. It's made of skin recovering fat which includes in different figures, hair follicle, eccrine and sweat glands. Total excision is the best treatment, but couls become complicated by cornea perforation. It could be followed in some cases by keratoplasty. Amblyopia could go with this malformation.

[Problems with carotid chemodectomas].

The authors report on their initial observation of a Shamblin Type I carotid body chemodectoma. Surgical exeresis was complete and relatively easy even though the diagnosis has been carried out in the open air. They take the opportunity to discuss diagnostic, therapeutic, evolutional and nosological problems connected with this rare neoplasm.

[Fibrous histiocytoma of the orbit].

The authors reported a case, a large orbital fibrous histiocytoma, in a 14 year old girl. They emphasize nosologic problems and histologic aspects of this benign tumor. Because of the localisation and the size of the tumor, a double anterior orbitotomy (superior and inferior) was necessary for complete renoval. Anatomic, functional and esthetic results were satisfactory.
