ABSTRACT

Epidermoid cysts of the spleen are a rare lesion comprising less than 10% benign non-parasitic splenic cysts. Two boys and three girls, aged 13 to 24 years (mean 18.0 years) were diagnosed over a 4-year period. Presenting symptoms were dull, acute left hypochondrium pain and diffuse abdominal pain. Hemogram and routine analyses, as well as radiography were performed for the diagnosis. Ultrasound and CT confirmed the cystic nature of the lesion. Definitive diagnosis is made by pathological findings. Was performed splenectomy on one patient, and was performed a partial splenectomy on the other patients, in order to eliminate the symptoms produced by the cyst and prevent potential complications (postspleenectomiam sepsis). Patients were examined postoperatively. They were asymptomatic and with a normal spleen remnant detected by ultrasound and CT. Routine hematological data, blood clotting factors, and immunoglobulins were normal.

ABSTRACT

UNLABELLED: Invagination is specific form of bowel opstruction that is seen in 1-4 children per 1000 births, usually in the period from 3 to 12 months of age. In 90-95 % reason for invagination in unknown so we called this forms idiopathic. In 5-10% invagination is caused by specific leading point. THE AIM of this retrospective study was to determinate prognostic valye of used biochemical tests (hemograms, glucosa, electrolites ( levels of Na+, K+, Ca+ and Cl-) and to prove bad influence of existing "leading point" in therapy of invagination (weather it will be surgical or hydrostatic desinvagination). METHODS: We analised 65 patients with invagination. We devided all our patients into 2 groups: first group consisted patients with idiopathic forms of invagination, and the other one were patients with invagination coused by specific leading point. RESULTS proved that leading point in invagination has great implications on clinical presentation, laboratory results, diagnostic and therapeutic procedure, and finaly in prognosis.
