ABSTRACT
Two cases of congenital pulmonary arteriovenous fistula are reported. Both patients had cyanosis and clubbing of their fingers and toes and also dyspnoea at exercise. Diagnostic procedures included cardiac catheterization and pulmonary angiography, and in both patients a solitary pulmonary arteriovenous fistula could be demonstrated. Lobectomy was performed in both cases, and at follow-up the patients were quite well with normal laboratory tests.

Three cases of traumatic dislocation of the hip joint in children are presented. All were subjected to immediate closed reduction under general anesthesia, followed by immobilization by means of skin traction for 2 weeks. Weight-bearing was resumed 2-3 weeks after the injury, and at follow-up examinations 23 to 27 months later the hip joints were found to be normal both clinically and radiographically.
