[Testicular echography in torsion and epididymitis. Apropos of 2 cases]. / L'échographie testiculaire dans la torsion et les épididymites. A propos de deux cas.

We report two cases, one of a long-standing epididymitis with a testicular infarct, the second of testicular tumor with torsion. Scrotal ultra-sound is a quick, easily applied, accurate method to follow cases of subacute epididymitis with atypical evolution. In case of testicular torsion, secondary to tumor, it helps to rule out scrotal exploration and to decide of an orchidectomy with a high located surgical approach.

Localised form of spondylo-epiphyseal dysplasia congenita.

We report an unusual case of spondylo-epiphyseal dysplasia congenita which affected only the hips and the thoraco-lumbar spine. The epiphysis of the long bones are normal apart from the hips. Our child has a bilateral epiphyseal dysplasia of both proximal femoral epiphysis discovered incidentally at 11 months and confirmed later on at 8 years, associated with abnormalities of the superior margin of the vertebral bodies from T11 to L2. Very few similar cases have been reported anteriorly.
