ABSTRACT
The authors report a case which demonstrates how an interdisciplinary collaboration between the obstetrician and pediatrician may be activated in the event of a suspected fetal malformation, in this case craniosynostosis, although it is important to recognise the diagnostic limitations of ultrasonography regarding this type of pathology.

The Authors report their experience on the treatment of cervical ectropion by electrodiathermy coagulation (EDC). The effectiveness of this therapeutic approach in the prevention of cervical carcinoma is examined. Finally, it seems that this treatment can be a preventive measure of the precancerous lesions of the cervix, while it results unjustified the EDC treatment of cervical ectropion and TRZ .

Transrectal ultrasonography is a new diagnostic method recently introduced in the study of normal and pathologic pelvis. The Authors describe their preliminary experience with the use of a rectal linear probe in the evaluation of the carcinoma of the cervix. This ultrasonographic method has resulted very useful in providing an imaging of cervical cancer in evaluating its effective diffusion and in precising demeasurements of the neoplastic mass. The results are particularly encouraging and justify continued experimentation.
