A 5-year-old boy was found to have a congenital left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) aneurysm of the intervalvular fibrosa, LVOT obstruction after repair of a perimembranous ventricular septal defect, and aortic coarctation. The patient underwent successful plication of the aneurysm, resection of the fibrous subaortic stenosis, and septal myectomy.

BACKGROUND Recently, there is an increase in number of surgical treatments for the aortic stenosis caused by valvular sclerosis with aging. Whether valvular sclerosis are related to aortic atherosclerosis, the prevention therapy of arteriosclerosis may benefit the clinical treatment of the valvular dysfunction due to aging. MATERIALS AND METHODS Gross, histological and immunohistochemical stu...

Severe hyperparathyroidism can affect bone metabolism and be in the origine of multiple brown tumours (generalized osteitis fibrosa cystica). When associated with fibro-ossifying tumours of the jaw, it realizes a rare genetic syndrome referred as Hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumour HPT-JT. We report the case of a patient we treated for HPT-JT, and literature review.

Facial skeletal changes associated with hyperparathyroidism assume 3 radiographic patterns: osteitis fibrosa cystica, fibrous dysplasia, and leontiasis ossea. The 3rd pattern is unique to renal osteodystrophy. We report a case of uremic leontiasis ossea with CT images illustrating significant hypertrophy of the jaws with serpiginous tunneling within the bone and poor visualization of the cortic...
