    Notes: Summary Six cases of hydatid disease affecting the vertebrae are described. Four patients presented with paraparesis and sphincter disturbances while the other two presented with low back pain and sciatica. Myelographic findings were positive in all six patients. The CT scans showed a paravertebral mass with destruction of bone in two cases. The nuclear magnetic resonance performed in one patient showed the exact extent of the disease all along the spine. Posterior laminectomy with decompression of the spinal cord and removal of the hydatid cysts was performed in all six patients. After the operation four patients received oral treatment with mebendazole. The patients with paraparesis showed little improvement of their neurological status. The two patients with low back pain and sciatica showed marked improvement. Hydatid disease affecting the vertebrae presents with neurological complications due to cord compression. The prognosis remains poor in spite of laminectomy, although removal of the hydatid cysts and long-term mebendazole medication may result in relief of symptoms.

    Notes: Abstract  Cryptorchid testes are frequently accompanied by gross morphologic changes with regard to the size and shape of the testis, various degrees of detachment between the epididymis and testis, elongation of the caudal epididymis and vas deferens, as well as histologic changes. This study examined the gross and microscopic testicular, epididymal, and vas changes in relation to various parameters in 824 patients operated upon in our clinic during the last decade. The major findings were the following: (1) most patients (78.8%) were older than 4 years, and many older than 8 years (39.8%); (2) the frequency of abdominal undescended testes decreased with increasing age (P 〈0.1), while the frequency of suprascrotal testes increased with increasing age (P 〈0.001); (3) most of the undescended testes in a suprascrotal position were normal or had mild atrophy (78.7%), while those in intracanalicular, internal ring, and abdominal positions frequently presented moderate or severe atrophy (71,38%; (P 〈0.0001); and (4) most suprascrotal testes were either normal or had mild extension and looping of the epididymis (63.8%), while most of the intracanalicular, internal ring, and abdominal testes showed moderate or profound epididymal anomalies (63.4%; P 〈0.0001). We conclude that even though the necessity for early surgical correction of cryptorchidism is well established, these patients at least in our region, still tend to come very late to surgery, with consequent increased risks of infertility and malignant transformation.

    Notes: Abstract In the last 2 years, 29 children with nocturnal enuresis were treated in the outpatient departments of the Departments of Urology and Pediatric Surgery of the Aristotle University, Thessaloniki. There were 22 boys and 7 girls aged 7 to 12 years. The clinical examination was normal in all cases. All children had undergone various treatments with no beneficial effect, and relapses had occurred. The patients were given desmopressin (DDAVP) nasal drops in combination with bladder physiotherapy; 77% were cured after 12 months. Physiotherapy improves the percentage of cures as the functional capacity of the bladder increases.

    Notes: Abstract The urological evaluation and results of management of 98 myelodysplastic patients are presented. Our management protocol stresses upper tract and infection status surveillance during the early childhood years, and a clean intermittent catheteriation program with pharmacological manipulation of detrusor and sphincter function as the optimal later management. Urodynamic results are valuable in treating children with difficult incontinence or poor upper tracts. The intermittent catheterization program reduces the incidence of symtomatic urinary infections in these patients, but the incidence of asymptomatic bacteriuria is high. The adverse results of supravesical diversion in myelodysplastic children rarely justify its use.

    Notes: Abstract Chronic functional constipation was confirmed by history, rectal examination, and rectal manometric studies in 20 of 26 children with enuresis. Treatment of constipation resulted in resolution of the enuresis. Uninhibited bladder contractions, observed in enuretic constipated children, were also noted in children with constipation alone, suggesting that constipation is a commonly unrecognized etiologic factor in enuresis.

    Notes: Abstract The case of a 21/2-year-old boy with diffuse cystic angiomatosis of bone is presented. No evidence of visceral involvement was recorded. The clinical, radiographic and histologic findings during the course of the disease process are discussed. At the age of 15 years the patient died of neurologic alterations developed due to massive osteolysis and collapse of the cervical spine, and severe dyspnoea, secondary to persistent bilateral pleural effusions.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé. Les auteurs rapportent un cas d’ossification ectopique au niveau de la hanche chez une fillette de 3 ans. L’enfant a été victime d’un accident de la voie publique et fut admise à l’Hôpital inconsciente avec une hémiparésie droite. Elle présentait une fracture pelvienne et une fracture du fémur gauche qui furent traitées par traction collée. 3 semaines après le traumatisme, la hanche était douloureuse avec une mobilité réduite. Les radiographies ont montré l’existence d’une formation ectopique osseuse dans les parties molles. Il n’y a pas eu d’autre traitement que l’immobilisation. Un an après le traumatisme, l’ossification ectopique s’était résorbée spontanément et l’enfant avait retrouvé une marche normale.
    Notes: Summary. A girl aged 3 years was struck by an automobile and admitted to hospital unconscious with a head injury and a right hemiparesis. Pelvic and left femoral fractures were managed with skin traction. Three weeks after the injury the range of motion of the right hip joint was reduced and movements were painful. Radiographic examination two weeks later revealed heterotopic bone formation around the hip joint. Immobilisation was the only treatment offered. One year after injury, the ectopic ossification around the hip had resolved spontaneously, and she was able to walk independently.
