Le lymphangiome kystique du mesentere est dorigine malformative, se revelant en bas age. Cest une affection benigne apparaissant majorite au niveau cervico axillaire.Dautres localisations sont possibles telles que le mesentere, lepiploon, retro peritoine. De nombreuses complications peuvent survenir cours de levolution kystique, liees a sa localisation et son volume. diagnostic precoce necessai...

Very few such cases have been recorded : one by Obre, one by Athol Johnson, one by Virchow, and a case of myo-lipoma by Gowers. The paraplegia of the lower limbs, their extreme anaesthesia, the bladder weakness, the extreme contraction of both lower extremities, the increase of their tendon reflexes, need no comment. They depend partly on the compression of the cervico-dorsal cord, partly on th...

Two patients had bilateral cervico-thoracic sympatho-ganglionectomy for treatment of disabling symptoms due to refractory ventricular tachycardia. In both patients treatment with antiarrhythmic drugs singly, in combination, or together with pacemaker overdrive had been ineffective in controlling this arrhythmia. Both patients had normal coronary arteriograms. Bilateral thoracic svmpathectomv ap...

La neurofibromatose de type 1 (NF1), appelée également maladie de Von Recklinghausen, est une affection autosomique dominante caractérisée par son polymorphisme clinique. Les neurofibromes dans le cadre de cette maladie peuvent être cutanés, sous-cutanés ou plexiformes. Les neurofibromes plexiformes siègent surtout au niveau des paupières, du tronc et des membres. La localisation dans la région...

This study was designed to assess junctional zone contractions (JZ) during cycles of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer in oocyte donors exposed to a long protocol regime for ovarian stimulation. Real-time transvaginal ultrasound and advanced audio-visual and computer technology were used to evaluate the contraction pattern, frequency and velocity. At the time of down-regulation J...

To achieve proper recontouring of anterior and posterior teeth, to obtain optimal morphology during enamel stripping, it is important to be aware of dental anatomy. This study aimed at evaluating crown dimensions and proximal enamel thickness in a sample of 40 extracted sound, human, mandibular, second bicuspids (20 right and 20 left). Mesiodistal, cervico-occlusal and buccolingual crown dimens...

Congenital anomalies of the first branchial cleft are rare. Approximately 32 cases of cervicoauricular fistulae have been reported in the past hundred years: this includes the writer's own case in this review. The majority of sinuses and fistulae derived from the lateral cervical vestiges are concerned with the second pharyngeal pouch and its corresponding cleft. Auricular and pre-auricular fis...

The predominant mode of HIV transmission worldwide is via heterosexual contact, with the cervico-vaginal mucosa being the main portal of entry in women. The cervico-vaginal mucosa is naturally colonized with commensal bacteria, primarily lactobacilli. To address the urgent need for female-controlled approaches to block the heterosexual transmission of HIV, we have engineered natural human vagin...

Massive arterivenous malformations (AVM) in the cervico-facial area are rare but potentially life-threatening. Treatment protocols are not well-established. A 41-year old man presented large painless rubber-like mass within the entire neck, which also extended intraorally through the floor of the mouth, showing a slow growing pattern for 5 years. Angiography diagnosed it as cervicofacial AVM. T...
