Résumé

A prospective study consisting of 50 infants having spina bifida and cranium bifidum and relationship of hydrocephalus was carried out. The male preponderance was obvious (1.7:1) with majority of infants being less than 3 months. The presenting complaint in almost all the children was swelling on back or head. Lumbar spine was affected most commonly with 36% children having lesion at this site followed by lumbosacral (20%) and occiptal (16%). Neuromuscular deficit was present in 32% cases. Clinical evidence of hydrocephalus was seen in 22% children. X-ray skull was suggestive of hydrocephalus in 22% cases. Ultrasound examination of skull confirmed the diagnosis in 52% cases. Hydrocephalus had no specific relationship with site of lesion. It was more commonly associated with neurological deficit. Sonographic examination is relatively cheaper and invaluable investigation. and should be done routinely in patients with spina bifida.

Résumé

Twenty children with various diaphragmatic anomalies, managed over a period of 3 years, are presented, These included congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH 10), congenital eventration of diaphragm (CDE 6) and hiatus hernia with gastro-esophageal reflux (HH-GER 4). Clinical presentation of these children was: respiratory distress (7), recurrent repiratouy tract infection with failure to thrive (11) and gastric volvulus (3). Two patients of gastric volvulus had acute surgical abdomen. The patients in respiratouy distress group were all newborns with CDH. Whereas, those who had gastric volvulus were CDE 2 and HH-GER 1. All children were operated through left subcostal transabdominal approach, except those with HH-GER who were explored through upper midline incision. Repair of diaphragmatic defect/placation was done in patients with CDH/CDE, whereas Nissen fundoplication (Loode wrap) was done in patients of HH-GER. Three newborns with CDH and one child with CDE and gastric volvulus died. All other 16 surviving children are doning well after 4 months to 3 years of follow up.
