    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les auteurs présentent deux patients ayant des antécédents traumatiques au niveau du rachis dorsal et une vertèbre cunéiforme visible sur une radiographie simple de profil. Dans ces deux cas on a porté initialement le diagnostic de fracture par compression. Un examen plus attentif des clichés de face a permis de déceler l'existence d'une vertèbre en papillon. La confusion de cette anomalie congénitale, habituellement sans signification clinique, avec une fracture par compression du corps vertébral, sur un simple cliché de profil, pourrait entraîner un traitement inutile.
    Notes: Summary Two patients, who had injuries to the dorsal spine with vertebral wedging, are described. In both a compression wedge fracture was diagnosed, but a careful study of the anteroposterior radiographs showed that the presumed injury was a butterfly vertebra. This rare congenital anomaly, which is usually without clinical significance, may be mistaken for a wedge fracture unless the anteroposterior view is correctly assessed.

    Notes: Abstract In clinical practice, biochemical markers, particularly serum glucose levels are used to diagnose diabetes mellitus. However, at autopsy this marker is of no value due to the substantial and capricious fluctuations in glucose levels after death. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of the postmortem determination of fructosamine in vitreous humor for confirming the presence of antemortem hyperglycemia. This was a study of 92 cadavers with a mean age of 60.05 years (SD 17.73) and a mean postmortem interval of 17.02 h (SD 9.76, range 2–58 h). Cases were assigned to two diagnostic groups according to the antemortem diagnosis of diabetes mellitus based on the patients’ medical records. In vitreous humor statistically significant differences were found in glucose and fructosamine concentrations between the two diagnostic groups, the highest values being obtained in the group of subjects with a previous diagnosis of diabetes mellitus.
