Abstract
Inspissated bile syndrome (IBS) is a rare neonatal disease. In the majority of cases, it resolves spontaneously and treatment is conservative. Follow-up is recommended with close monitoring of laboratory tests. When IBS does not resolve spontaneously, a catheter can be inserted into the gallbladder for cholangiography, which allows irrigation and drainage. Despite this treatment, some biliary tract obstruction may persist. We report on the case of a 3-month-old infant whose continuous biliary obstruction caused by IBS was successfully managed by interventional radiology with the association of N-acetylcysteine and glucagon. Even as first-line agents, these would allow more rapid clearance of gallstones and prevent infectious complications of indwelling catheters as well as decrease the need for surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sotos syndrome is one the most common overgrowth conditions, after Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. As with other overgrowth syndromes, Sotos syndrome can be associated with an increased risk of tumors. CASE We describe a young girl with Sotos syndrome and ovarian fibromatosis with a new mutation not reported before in the literature. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION Development of ovarian tumor in Sotos syndrome has been poorly documented. Ovarian fibromatosis is a very rare non neoplastic disease. Management is guided by the benignity of the lesion and consists of surgical excision of the fibroma.

Abstract
We report the case of a 13-year-old boy with a traumatic elbow dislocation, open stage 2 (Cauchoix and Duparc), with distal ischemia. Exposure of the neurovascular humeral bundle through the wound accentutated the clinical emergency. This clinical observation consisted of elbow dislocation with all severity criteria: (i) opening of the skin, (ii) association with a fracture of the medial humeral epicondyle, and (iii) neurological deficit in the territory of the median nerve. The purpose of this report is to remind physicians that no investigation should delay surgery in elbow dislocation. Despite initial distal ischemia, no vascular exploration is required. Early reduction of the disloction is the key point of care.

Abstract
Sacrococcygeal teratoma is the most common and benign fetal tumor. Fetuses with sacrococcygeal tumors that are predominantly solid and highly vascularized have a high risk of fatal issue. Hydrops and tumor hemorrhage are associated with a highest risk of fetal death. Management of these tumors includes ultrasound scan with Doppler and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is usually used for evaluation of its intrapelvic extension and relationship to the other structures. New in-utero treatments as vascular coagulation have been applied in fetuses with highly vascular teratomas but these techniques are still experimental and need more investigations. The management of delivery depends on associated anomalies, tumor vascularity and size.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review the etiological factors, clinical presentations and outcome of our surgical technique to correct the anomaly of concealed penis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty consecutive patients were treated in 2000-2004. Mean age at operation was 6.7 years (range 13 months-15.4 years). They underwent penoplasty alone (22 patients) or penoplasty with liposuction of prominent prepubic fat pad (eight patients). The medical records of all the patients were retrospectively reviewed, and 23 patients were interviewed, examined clinically and questioned about their initial complaint and the results of our technique. Mean follow up was 28 months (range 6 months-5 years). RESULTS The patients most commonly presented with cosmetic (60.0%), voiding (56.6%) and psychosocial (50.5%) concerns. Three underlying anatomic defects contributing to concealment were observed: fibrotic dartos fascia with poor skin attachment at the base of the penis (93%), prominent prepubic fat pad (40%) and postoperative phimosis leading to trapped penis (26%). Early postoperative complications occurred in 4 patients (13.3%) and all were treated conservatively and successfully. Fourteen patients (46.6%) underwent secondary minor day-case operations, the majority for excision of redundant subcoronal preputial collar. Clinical examination of 23 patients showed very good results in terms of general appearance and accessibility. The older boys were generally more satisfied with the results of surgery than the parents of younger children, whose main source of dissatisfaction was the final circumcised appearance of the penis. CONCLUSION The surgical approach used to correct concealed penis alleviates the initial complaint and provides good cosmetic and functional results with greater satisfaction in older patients. Our technique had a low early complication rate but a significant number of patients needed a secondary procedure to improve the final cosmetic results.

Abstract
Thymomas are tumours that rarely occur in children, are almost invariably benign, and are usually discovered incidentally in the anterior mediastinum on chest X-rays. Whereas in adults these tumours are often associated with myasthenia gravis and other autoimmune diseases, this occurrence is very rare in the paediatric population. Multiple localisation and/or extra-thoracic recurrence of thymomas in children also appears to be exceptional with no reported cases in the English literature. We report one rare paediatric case.

Abstract
An ileal perforation occurred shortly after birth in 4 very premature newborns. Diagnosis was made on an abdominal distension with a pneumoperitoneum on X-ray. There were no biological, radiological nor histological signs of necrotizing enterocolitis. There were no digestive short- or long-term complications. According to the few authors who described this syndrome, there are some risk factors, but they were not clearly involved in our cases. Ileal perforation in the absence of signs of necrotizing enterocolitis is rarely reported but should be well known because of its good prognosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE Impalpable and undescended testis is a very common preoccupation for specialized pediatric surgery teams. The laparoscopy as the single most accurate modality for diagnosis and localization of impalpable undescended gonad is well established by all authors. However the therapeutic attitude and the technique are still a matter of debate. MATERIAL AND METHODS A series of 122 boys presenting an impalpable and undescended testis was studied. All the children beneficiated of a primary laparoscopic exploration. During this exploration, when a testis was found, the clamping of the spermatic vessel was made and the final descent took place few months later. RESULTS In our study the testis was found in 60 cases and the spermatic vessel's clamping assured the descent of a well vascularized testis in about 80% of cases. CONCLUSION Clamping the spermatic vessel during the laparoscopic exploration assured, thanks to the development of a supply, a good vascularisation of the testis during its second step descent. Our retrospective study has showed the good reliability of laparoscopic surgery as primary treatment in front of impalpable undescended testicles in comparison to the one-step classical orchiopexy.

Abstract
Cleft lips and cleft palates are managed in the department of Pediatric surgery in Rouen for the last 30 years. From the antenatal diagnosis, the parents got in touch with the surgeon who will coordinate this management. Around thirty new patients are treated every year. The chronology of the treatment is of "classic" manner. The cleft lip is repaired at about 3 weeks of age and the palatoplasty is performed after the age of 1 year. In view to maintain the intimacy of the consultation we did not institute multidisciplinary consultations. The other members of the interdisciplinary team will intervene during the follow up depending on the form of the cleft and the encountered problems. The information and the files circulate freely and are discussed together.

Abstract
Type 1-primary cutaneous meningioma is a rare and often clinically unsuspected lesion of the scalp, forehead or paravertebral region which occurs at birth or during childhood. The pathogenesis of these lesions still remains uncertain. Several authors have emphasized that type 1-cutaneous meningiomas are not real tumors but sequestrated meningoceles or heterotopic meningeal nodules of the skin. Nevertheless, the search for an intracranial or intravertebral connection should be carried out. We describe the clinical and pathological features of a congenital type 1-meningioma of the vertex. No cranial defect or intracranial tumor was found. However, the cutaneous lesion was directly linked to a large cranial vein. The purpose of this study was to illustrate this rare lesion and to indicate the possible surgical risks and the pathological characteristics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of investigating underlying urinary tract pathology after the first episode of acute epididymitis in children with no prior urological history, and also to assess the possible predictive factors of urological disease at the time of diagnosis. METHODS Children with acute epididymitis were studied retrospectively over a period of 8 years. Diagnosis was made either using ultrasonography or surgical exploration. Renal ultrasonography and voiding cystourethrography were performed 1 month after epididymitis. RESULTS These tests were carried out in 38 children who revealed 7 anomalies (18%). Only 1 patient received further surgery : endoscopic treatment of a ureterocele. We also studied 3 predictive factors: age <2 years; recurrence, and urine bacteria. None could be associated with the presence of urinary tract pathology. CONCLUSION The authors suggest that, when there is no previous urological anomaly and absence of bacteriuria, routine screening for epididymitis should be carried out following the second episode.

Abstract
Enterocystoplasty complications related to the presence of intestinal mucous presence in the bladder are well known and well reported in the literature. Mechanical problems in the intestinal tract due to using gut for bladder augmentation are not as well recognised. We analyzed three cases of children treated by ileocystoplasty who presented an intestinal volvulus in two cases and a cecal volvulus in one case around the vascular pedicle of the intestinal patch used for bladder augmentation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Tracheobronchial ruptures in blunt thoracic trauma in children are rare. The aim of this study was to suggest the means of an early diagnosis and a conservative management as often as possible. METHODS Sixteen cases of tracheobronchial ruptures by blunt thoracic trauma were observed over 26 years in 9 regional pediatric centers. RESULTS There were 12 boys and 4 girls, from ages 1 hour to 17 years. Nine children presented with associated lesions. Fibroscopy established the following diagnosis: 8 tracheal wounds and 8 bronchial wounds. Six children were operated on within 18 hours (on average) after installation of a thoracic drainage. Two lobectomies, 3 ideal tracheal sutures, and 1 bronchial suture were performed. Seven children were treated exclusively by thoracic drainage. Two of them were intubated through the lesion, leading to a transitory endoprothesis accompanied or not by an external thoracic drainage. One infant recovered spontaneously. There were no deaths in this series. Two recurrent postoperative nerve injuries were noted, one of which was a transitory spontaneously resolutive scar bud and one a granuloma treated by laser. Three times, a stenosis occurred after a conservative management. Two were operated on. CONCLUSIONS Tracheobronchial ruptures in children are rare. An early fibroscopy holds an important place in the approach of this pathology. Treatment is variable, based on thoracic lesions, their tolerance by the child, and associated lesions. Surgery is not the only therapy because conservative treatment by simple thoracic drainage or lesion intubation has proved effective.

Abstract
Epidermoid cyst of the spleen is a rare entity (2.5% of all splenic cysts) and rarely becomes complicated by hemorrhage, rupture or infection. Classically, management consisted of total or partial splenectomy. We report the case of an 8-year-old boy presenting with a splenic abscess complicating an epidermoid cyst. Percutaneous drainage of the abscess was performed under sonographic guidance and completed by intravenous antibiotic therapy. Six weeks later, laparoscopic surgery was performed and the splenic parenchyma could be preserved.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether contralateral meatal advancement based on the technique described by Gil Vernet decreases the risk of postoperative contralateral reflux, which may occur after a unilateral reimplantation. PATIENTS AND METHODS From January 1986 to 1997, 321 reimplantations were performed for unilateral vesico-ureteric reflux (VUR) using the Cohen procedure. In cases where the contralateral meatus was symmetrical or had a pathological appearance, preventive contralateral surgery with meatal advancement was performed. RESULTS Ureteric reimplantation was exclusively performed unilaterally in 254 patients and in 67 a contralateral meatal advancement was performed. There were 29 cases of contralateral reflux at the 4-month follow-up. In nine patients contralateral reimplantation was necessary for persistent symptomatic VUR, the reflux resolved spontaneously in 14 and a radiological examination was necessary in six. Reflux also appeared on the Gil Vernet side in only 6% of patients; there were no clinical symptoms and the outcome was favourable. CONCLUSION The advancement of the meatus using the Gil Vernet procedure is simple, with no surgical complications. We suggest that this technique constitutes a useful surgical alternative in the prevention of contralateral reflux.

Two observations of extrarenal nephrogenic nodule in inguinal canal are reported. We underline the difficulties in differential diagnostic with true Wilms' tumor, and in sparing these pediatric cases from more aggressive treatment. The main morphological arguments in favor of non-tumoral nephrogenic nodular remnants are: the size of the lesion, the association with a congenital inguinal hernia suggesting a congenital abnormality, and the organoid organization of blastemic tissue surrounding the cavities lined with "hobnail" epithelium evoking a mesonephrogenic origin.

Abstract
Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a frequent neurocristopathy characterized by the absence of submucosal and myenteric plexuses in a variable length of the gastrointestinal tract. Pedigrees and segregation analyses suggested the involvement of one or several dominant genes with low penetrance in HSCR. Considering that RET and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) mutations have been reported in the disease, we regarded the other RET ligand, neurturin (NTN), as an attractive candidate gene, especially as it shares large homologies with GDNF. Here, we report on the finding of a heterozygous missense NTN mutation in a large non-consanguineous family including four children affected with a severe aganglionosis phenotype extending up to the small intestine. Interestingly, it appears that the NTN mutation reported here is not sufficient to cause HSCR, and this multiplex family also segregates a RET mutation. This cascade of independent and additive genetic events fits well with the multigenic pattern of inheritance expected in HSCR, and further support the role of RET ligands in development of the enteric nervous system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Focal dermal hypoplasia syndrome is mainly defined by the association of abnormalities of extremities, atrophy and linear hyperpigmentation of the skin, localized deposits of superficial fat, anomalies of the eyes and of the nails. Neonates are often small for their age. CASE REPORTS Three sporadic cases are reported. Mental delay and omphalocele were observed in the first case. The neurological development was subnormal in the second and an unusual monodactyly was seen in the third. CONCLUSION Most cases are sporadic, but in family cases, an X-linked dominant factor is likely. When a first affected offspring is observed, skin examination and X-ray should be carried out in parents to evaluate the risk of recurrence in their children. As the gene site has not yet been determined, antenatal diagnosis should be suspected on echography when fetal growth delay is associated to distal limb and/or ocular anomalies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Laparoscopy now constitutes the reference technique for the diagnosis and treatment of cryptorchid testes. We report our experience over the last three years (1993-1996). MATERIAL AND METHODS 48 strictly impalable testes were investigated in 46 boys between the ages of 11 months and 14.5 years (mean age: 40 months). The intraperitoneal investigation assessed both deep inguinal regions looking for gonads, vas deferens and pedicles. Intra-abdominal gonads were ligated and their pedicle was sectioned laparoscopically allowing transinguinal descent 6 months later according to the Fowler-Stephens technique. RESULTS We found 21 cases of typical antenatal torsion, including one bilateral case (pedicle and vas deferens present, but gonad absent), one case of total unilateral agenesis and 3 cases of incomplete agenesis (only the vas deferens was detected) and performed three resections of the gonadal rest for histological examination. The first-stage of cryptorchid testis descent was performed in 20 cases, by laparoscopy in 19 cases (1 failure of insufflation). Definitive descent was possible in 13 cases, with early onset of atrophy in only one case. CONCLUSION Laparoscopy is therefore a simple technique, allowing a definitive diagnosis and two-stage descent without increasing the risk of testicular atrophy.

Abstract
61 children were studied and treated between January 1986 and September 1993 for idiopathic varicocele. The aim of our study was to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the different techniques and to show the progression to a greater efficacy. The mean age at the time of therapy was 14 years, ranging from 7 to 16 years. All children presenting with pain or testicular asymmetry were treated. Four asymptomatic children were followed for 2 years before treatment. 36 children were treated by surgical ligature via the inguinal approach; 8 with a resection of the varicose veins as far as the tunica vaginalis. 14 children were treated by percutaneous sclerotherapy including 1 patient following unsuccessful classical surgical treatment. 12 children were treated by surgical inguinal ligature associated with peroperative phlebography and thrombosis. 56 children were reviewed postoperatively over a period which varied from 2 months to 4 years (5 lost to follow-up). For the 36 classical ligatures: 25 good results, but 9 hydroceles (5 out 8 varicose resections): 70% good results. 7 failures and 4 lost to follow-up. For the 14 percutaneous sclerotherapy: 4 technical failures (impossibility to catheterize the spermatic vein): 10 good results. For the 12 ligatures with peroperative phlebography and thrombosis: 11 good results and 1 lost to follow-up. All the above procedures were carried out at our out-patient clinic. The therapeutic choice will therefore have to take into consideration a procedure which produces the lowest morbidity rate and proves to be the most effective. The association of surgical ligature, phlebography and thrombosis meets these requirements.

Abstract
Lipoblastoma is a rare type of benign tumor occurring in infants. We report a case of mesenteric lipoblastoma with histologic, electron microscopic and cytogenetic studies. The microscopic features of this tumor including lipoblastic proliferation and prominent immature capillary beds were typical of lipoblastoma. Cytogenetic study showed a karyotype 46,XX, inv (8) (p 21.1; q 24.2). We discuss the usefulness of cytogenetic study associated to fluorescent in situ hybridization, in the diagnosis of the lipoblastic tumors, i.e. myoxoid liposarcoma and lipoblastoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Wilms tumor is associated in 7 to 10% of patients with congenital abnormalities. Among those, aniridia is the most constant feature of the WAGR syndrome that includes, in one third of cases. Wilms tumor. We report two cases of aniridia associated with fetal rhabdomyomatous nephroblastoma. CASE REPORTS Case 1. A one-year old girl with congenital aniridia was admitted for macroscopic hematuria. Abnormal ultrasonography and tomodensitometry revealed a large, bilateral, kidney tumor. The patient was given actinomycin and vincristine, without efficacy. Bilateral tumorectomy was performed 6 months later and the histological study showed a fetal rhabdomyomatous nephroblastoma. This patient is in remission at the age of 5. Case 2. A boy, also with congenital aniridia, presented with macroscopic hematuria at the age of 2 years revealing a nephroblastoma located on his right kidney. Preoperative chemotherapy remained uneffective and the nephrectomy performed 1 month later permitted the diagnosis of fetal rhabdomyomatous nephroblastoma. The patient is well 4 years later. CONCLUSION Both cases of fetal rhabdomyomatous nephroblastoma, a histological variant of Wilms tumor, seem to be the first reported in the WAGR syndrome.

Abstract
In matters of intestinal obstruction the younger the child, the clearer the features of this condition. As in adults, obstruction reveals an intestinal blockage related to multiple and varied origins. Neonatal obstruction deserves special attention, as it often reveals a digestive tract abnormality with interrupted continuity which is incompatible with life unless the appropriate surgical treatment is carried out. Constant advances in intensive care and nutritional care of these infants result in increasingly "borderline" digestive situations, but certain situations have not yet been solved in the absence of success of intestinal transplantation.

Abstract
Two cases of pancreatoblastoma in children are reported here. Only biopsies were made at laparotomy as surgical resection by duodeno-pancreatectomy was not possible. In both children a dramatic response was observed with chemotherapy: doxorubicin plus cisplatin for one, cyclophosphamide, actinomycin D, bleomycin, vinblastine sulfate, and cisplatin for the other. After completion of the chemotherapy the first patient had a local resection; then he had radiotherapy. He is alive in first remission 40 months after the end of the treatment. In the second patient, regional recurrence occurred 8 months after chemotherapy was ended. A transient second remission was obtained with ifosfamide plus etoposide alternating with epirubicin plus vincristine. The patient died 36 months after the diagnosis. Therefore, these two cases suggest that chemotherapy may be proposed before any attempt at surgical excision. Nevertheless, early consolidation by radical resection or irradiation must be considered.
