Abstract
During a 17-year period, 40 infants less than 1 year of age were investigated for cholelithiasis; 32 infants were seen within the past 10 years. Seventeen of them had no recognizable predisposing factors. In 6 infants, gallbladder lithiasis was a fortuitous finding on a plain radiograph or sonogram with no signs of common bile duct obstruction; under conservative management, no complications of lithiasis were observed on follow-up of 3 infants and spontaneous resolution occurred in 2 others. In the remaining 34 infants with lithiasis of the common duct or cystic duct or both, the initial symptoms were cholestatic jaundice in 21, acholic stools in 8, sepsis in 4, and abdominal pain in 1. Ultrasonography, performed in 33 of them, showed dilation of the biliary tract in 28, and stones in the gallbladder in 13 and in the bile ducts in 10. Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography or operative cholangiography in 26 infants showed stones in the bile ducts in 23. In 3 infants, no lithiasis was visible, suggesting the spontaneous elimination of stones. Treatment was initially surgical in 9 infants, but starting in 1981 interventional radiologic procedures were attempted in 15 infants and were successful in 12. Spontaneous resolution of cholelithiasis occurred in 10 other infants with cholestasis. Recurrence of biliary stones was observed in 3 infants only after a follow-up of 7 months to 10 years. These results suggest that common bile duct lithiasis should be considered among the causes of cholestatic jaundice in infancy, and that some of the gallbladder calculi found in older children may have resulted from a lithogenic process that occurred during fetal life or shortly after birth. Percutaneous cholangiography with biliary drainage appears to be an effective means of treatment of infants with common bile duct obstruction; surgery can then be restricted to a limited number of cases, especially those with associated strictures of the bile ducts.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the prevalence, the incidence and clinical presentation of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma associated with primary Sjögren's syndrome. METHODS Sixty-two patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome were analyzed retrospectively in an open investigation. RESULTS Of 62 patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome, 4 of them (6.4%) developed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (6.9 cases per 1000 per year). All of them were women. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma always developed after the onset of primary Sjögren's syndrome with a time interval ranging from 3 to 27 years. Pathological findings showed two diffused mixed small and large cell cleaved lymphomas and two diffused large cell cleaved lymphomas. Three cases had extra-nodular localizations. All of these 4 patients are still alive and in complete remission 2 to 8 years after the diagnosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. CONCLUSION This study confirms the association of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in primary Sjögren's syndrome. These non-Hodgkin's lymphomas frequently had extra-nodal localizations. Good sensitivity to treatment, when necessary, provided good prognosis.

Abstract
In a previous study based upon the cavography of 100 patients, we determined that the average diameter of the infrarenal inferior v. cava (IIVC) was 21.3 mm (range 10-31 mm) at its end [1]. We discuss the value of different methods to measure IIVC, and particularly computed tomography (CT) scans reviewed in our department. It showed that the largest diameter of IIVC was not in a frontal plane and the width observed in a cavography was in fact the projection of a transverse diameter on the film. The real diameter of the IIVC is larger than that showed by cavography. This present study shows the results of measurements of the IIVC obtained from 50 consecutive CT scans. The average transverse diameter is 24.26 mm (range 14-33.3). The average anteroposterior diameter is 13.4 mm (range 5-22) and the average angle alpha between the transverse diameter and the frontal plane is 30 degrees 45' (range 12 degrees-55 degrees). We discuss the different methods of measurement of IIVC and we conclude that at present, CT scan is one of the most reliable methods to measure the real diameter of IIVC.

Abstract
Eight patients affected with endocrine tumor of the pancreas were examined, within the same period of time, by MRI and CT. Results from those two examinations were similar for the detection of the primary tumor (succeeding to visualize the lesion 5 times out of 8) and the evaluation of locoregional and vascular extension. No tumor smaller than 3 cm was diagnosed by MRI. Most of cases the pancreatic tumor appeared as hypointense in T1 and hyperintense in T2 sequences. MRI was a little more efficient than CT for the detection of liver metastases. MRI seems to be an interesting method for the follow-up of those patients needing a regular and prolonged surveillance after primary tumor ablation.

Abstract
A patient with juxtacortical osteosarcoma of the upper extremity of the left tibia which encased the popliteal neurovascular bundle was treated by monobloc resection of the superior extremity of the tibia and the tibial nerve. The knee joint was replaced by a Guepar prosthetic knee. Arterial and venous continuity was reestablished by a double bypass using the contralateral greater saphenous vein. One year later the patient had good lower limb function and was free of local or general disease. This observation confirms that preservation of lower limb function is possible using reconstruction techniques of bone, nerves, and vessels in sarcoma of the musculoskeletal system.

Abstract
Appropriate surgical management of inferior vena caval thrombosis is dependent on the proximal limit of the thrombus. Cavograms, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging all have their shortcomings in locating this limit. Intraoperative ultrasonography has allowed us to determine the exact proximal limit of vena caval thrombosis in two patients, one with suprarenal thrombosis, the other with infrarenal thrombosis. In the first patient, caval interruption and clearance of the inferior vena cava was greatly enhanced by the use of this method. Intraoperative sonography is useful in the surgical treatment of thrombosis of the inferior vena cava.

Abstract
Bacterial cholangitis is a frequent complication of successful surgical repair of biliary atresia, occurring in 93% of patients before the age of 1 year, but thought to be rare after 2 years of age. Among 76 children free of jaundice more than 5 years after operation, four presented with late cholangitis (7 to 13.5 years old), consisting of fever, jaundice, and abdominal pain with biochemical features of an inflammatory process and cholestasis. Liver biopsy specimens consistently demonstrated histological features of cholangitis, growth of microorganism, or both. Cholangitis subsided spontaneously in one patient or in response to intravenous administration of antibiotics. Cholangiography consistently demonstrated biliary abnormalities but no definite obstruction to the bilioenteric anastomosis. All the children had good hepatic function 3 weeks to 4 years after the episode of cholangitis. These results suggest that cholangitis may occur several years after surgery but does not seem to alter prognosis.

Abstract
Among a series of 140 liver transplantations in children, 21 biliary complications (BC) (15%) are reported. BC were identified from 2 days to 3 months after LT. Positive US findings were present in 20 cases. Cholangiography was obtained by opacification of a surgical drain in 3 cases, per-operatively in 3 and by PTC in 15. Drainage was placed in 9 and balloon dilatation performed in 2. Causes of BC include hepatic artery (HA) thrombosis in 7, HA stenosis in 1, anastomosis stricture in 7, anastomosis kink in 3, mucocele of cystic duct remnant in 2 and sludge in 1. Treatment was surgical in all, but 2 cases were treated percutaneously. There is a great difference in severity of prognosis between complications secondary to HA thrombosis and isolated BC. Role of US in diagnosis and of PTC and interventional radiology in treatment are emphasized.

Abstract
The clinical and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings in 20 patients with MR evidence of occult cerebrovascular malformations (OCVMs) were retrospectively analyzed. Of 27 lesions followed up throughout a mean period of 18 months, eight showed obvious evolution on MR images (four cases of regression and four cases of new bleeding). Three new independent lesions were disclosed. Clinical evolution was discordant with MR findings in five patients. In the other patients, topography of the lesion, mass effect, and location of the hemorrhage could explain clinical data. The dynamic nature of OCVMs must be considered in decisions on therapeutic management.

Abstract
Selective retrograde trans-cervical salpingography was carried out in four patients in whom ectopic pregnancy was suspected. The Fallopian tube was catheterized using a catheter set designed in our centre. The 6F catheter was placed in the cornua and an inner coaxial catheter was easily introduced into the proximal portion of the Fallopian tube, guided by tactile impression. Contrast medium was then injected and a round haloed mass was seen. Thereafter, the Fallopian tube was catheterized using a metallic guidewire until its tip was adjacent to the ectopic pregnancy. The coaxial catheter was then advanced along the guidewire and after removal of the latter, 5-35 mg of methotrexate was injected into the Fallopian tube. This new procedure was simple, well tolerated and had no side effects. A tubal pregnancy was demonstrated and surgery was avoided in all cases.

Abstract
Among a series of 90 pediatric liver transplantations, 9 cases of hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT) in 8 patients are reported. All cases were diagnosed in the first two weeks and confirmed angiographically and surgically. Clinical presentation was often unreliable with only 2 cases showing the typical pattern of massive hepatic necrosis. Five cases presented with biliary complications and in 2 cases, HAT was discovered fortuitously on duplex sonography. The role of imaging modalities is emphasized. Duplex sonography is the best non-invasive screening method and we recommend a routine daily examination in the first 2 weeks. CT is the most useful method to assess the extension of liver infarction. PTC remains necessary to evaluate biliary complications and to plan the best therapeutic approach in this devastating event. Two patients died, 2 had to be retransplanted (one patient twice) and are doing well, 2 are on a waiting list for retransplantation and one underwent an emergency surgical arterial desobstruction and is completely asymptomatic.

Abstract
Computed tomography (CT) was performed in 54 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma three weeks after transcatheter arterial chemotherapy using iodized oil and doxorubicin with or without gelfoam embolization. Patients with iodized oil retention in the tumor greater than 50 per cent of tumor size survived longer than patients with retention of less than 50 per cent. Differences were also found within Okuda stages I and II, but they were significant only in Okuda stage I (p less than 0.0001). These results suggest a possible relationship between iodized oil retention and survival. In addition to Okuda stage, several factors affected iodized oil retention: tumor vascularity, tumor size, portal thrombosis and Gelfoam embolization. These factors may thus influence the prognosis after transcatheter arterial chemotherapy.

Abstract
Two neonates underwent staphylococcal septicemia with multiple intrahepatic abscesses, following umbilical catheterization in one case and due to superinfected heel puncture in the other case. At the first examination, liver ultrasonography showed multiple hypoechogenic areas and assessed patency of the portal vein flow. In spite of clinical, biological and sonographic recovery within the following weeks, portal hypertension due to seemingly late portal vein thrombosis occurred. These clinical reports indicate the need for a protracted echosonographic supervision of neonatal intrahepatic abscesses and portal vein patency before asserting complete recovery.

Abstract
The authors report a series of 10 infants aged from 20 days to 11 months, presenting with CBD lithiasis, explored and cured by radiological procedure. US showed BD dilatation in 9 cases, sludge in the GB in 5 and in the CBD in 2. Histological findings of cholangitis were present in 4 infants. PTC was performed by GB puncture in 6 and BD puncture in 4. There was evidence of a filling defect in CBD but no anatomical anomaly. Blackish concretions were removed through a side-holes catheter or pushed in the duodenum by washing with saline. An external drainage was left a few days to allow control cholangiogram. Three infants underwent subsequent surgery but no residual lithiasis was found. No recurrence has occurred with a follow-up ranging from 10 months to 7 years. Mechanisms of this entity are discussed.

Abstract
In order to specify the factors responsible for the hepatic changes occurring during total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and to propose a preventive treatment, 30 infants treated for severe protracted diarrhea were prospectively distributed into 4 groups: I (n = 10): controls; II (n = 7): oral administration of human milk since the 15th day of TPN; III (n = 5): oral metronidazole since the 15th day; IV (n = 8): parenteral antibiotic therapy for septicemia since the 1st day. Contrary to group IV, the first 3 groups were randomly constituted on the 15th day. Liver function tests, bile and serum biliary acids, duodenal flora, hepato-biliary ultrasonography and, in 12 cases, liver histology were sequentially studied. Liver function changes were observed on the 15th day in all groups. An improvement occurred 15 days later in the infants treated, when the control group worsened (p less than 0.02). A significant increase of bile chenodeoxycholic acid levels was observed in the control group only (p less than 0.01), without change in lithocholic acid levels. These results lead the authors to recommend the preventive use of metronidazole or human milk during prolonged TPN in infants.

Abstract
Hepatocellular pseudotumor (HCP) occurs in cirrhotic liver and can resemble hepatocellular carcinoma. Liver ultrasonography shows a space-occupying lesion. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical, radiological and histologic features of HCP based on seven patients (3 women, 4 men), mean age 48 years (24 to 62), with histologically proven cirrhosis (alcoholic, 4 cases; autoimmune, 1 case; postnecrotic, 1 case, idiopathic, 1 case). Serum alphafetoprotein was below 16 ng/ml in 5 patients and remained over 120 ng/ml in the remaining 2. Desgammacarboxyprothrombin, performed in 3 cases, was below the upper limit of normal range. Real time ultrasonography of the liver showed a homogeneous parenchyma in 1 case and median size (20-48 mm) space-occupying nodular lesions in 6 cases. Sonography patterns of hepatocellular pseudotumor were as follows: anechoic lesions in 5 cases and mixed pattern (sonodense and hypoechogenic) in 1 case. Angiographic findings exhibited different patterns: hypervascular or hypovascular nodules, multinodular uptake after lipiodol bolus injection. Computed tomography showed iso- or hypodense space-occupying lesions. Lipiodol injection, performed in 3 cases, showed nodular lipiodol uptake. Fine needle biopsy always showed normal hepatocytes. At laparotomy, performed in 3 cases, an hyperplastic nodule was found in 1 case only. All patients were alive at 12 to 36 months. These findings are consistent with the fact that hepatocellular pseudotumor is a true entity. Differential diagnosis is difficult. Iodine oil nodular fixation on CT scan may be non specific for hepatocellular pseudotumor. Histologic data is mandatory before beginning a non surgical therapeutic regimen for suspected hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract
Two cases of arteriovenous malformations of the cecum treated by transcatheter embolization are presented. In both cases, treatment resulted in improvement of the clinical and biological signs. In general, there is a high risk of ischemic complications associated with this treatment. Embolization of arteriovenous malformations should be considered rarely and in the following cases: single lesion, high blood output, feasibility of superselective catheterization. The risk of colonic ischemia calls for preparation of the colon as if the patient were undergoing colonic surgery, as well as thorough clinical follow-up (for at least 10 days).

Abstract
Nine cases of adnexal cysts diagnosed by antenatal ultrasonography, have been followed after birth and operated upon. Simple ovarian cysts as well as old adnexal torsions appear as sonolucent masses. Acute adnexal torsion appears as mixed or solid masse. Sonographic appearance can help the post natal management of these masses.
