Enterolith ileus resulting from small bowel diverticulosis.

Small intestine diverticula are infrequent. These acquired pulsion diverticula are postulated to be a result of intestinal dyskinesis. Usually asymptomatic, they can produce a variety of disorders such as malabsorption, hemorrhage, diverticulitis, and perforation. The rarest complication appears to be enterolith formation and obstruction. It is postulated that dyskinesis and stasis leads to bacterial overgrowth causing decomposition of bile salts allowing precipitation and concretion. Presented is an ileal obstruction from a small bowel enterolith. A literature review revealed 25 other cases of obstruction. Most of these cases were treated with simple removal, some with small bowel resection. Results are good and recurrences have not been observed.

Systemic lupus erythematosus with rectal stenosis simulating tumour or diverticulosis. Case report.

A case of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with focal involvement of the rectum is reported. The lesion roentgenologically resembled a malignant tumour and was resected. Histologic examination disclosed only typical SLE changes in a very restricted area, with the remaining gastrointestinal tract unaffected. This appears to be the first report of focal colitis as a complication of SLE. The case points the importance of suspecting symptoms from any organ system in patients with connective tissue disorders to be manifestations of that underlying pathology.

[Intramural diverticulosis of the gallbladder].

The authors report on 9 cases of acalculous adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder, selected to Arianoff's classification. The clinical, anatomopathological and radiological data are considered: there isn't difference concerning the clinical symptoms between adenomyomatosis and cholelithiasis; only radiological study may clarify the nature and character of these lesions. The authors conclude stressing the importance of surgical therapy because the medical therapy is only symptomatic and does not modify the natural evolution of the disease and its complications.

[The importance of selective angiography in colonic diverticulosis surgery].

The diverticular disease of the colon is one of the most frequent causes of massive bleeding of the large bowel. The results of emergency operations without localisation of the bleeding are disappointing. The bleeding point can be localised by selective angiography, and this renders possible the most favourable surgical procedure as shown by the case report of a high risk patient.
