[The diagnosis and surgical treatment in the case of 2 rare sites of hydatid cyst in children]. / Diagnostic si tratament chirurgical în cazul a 2 localizari rare de chist hidatic la copil.

In the Clinic of Paediatric surgery of the Hospital "Gr. Alexandrescu" there have been hospitalized and operated 2 cases of hydatic cyst within 1990-1993. The both patients had tumoural structures, one of them being placed on left axillary area (S.E.--11 years old) and the other on the left thigh (M.S.--5 years old). The both patients have been surgically operated, the said tumoural structures being eradicated. The anatomic-pathological examination attested that for the both patients the diagnosis was the hydatic cysts are localized on pulmonary, hepatic or splenic areas, we considered to be interesting to inform you about details of two rare localization of this disease.

[Adrenal tumors in children]. / Tumorile suprarenale la copil.

Clinically, 3 patients presented Cushing syndrome, 4 had adreno-genital syndrome and 3 had paroxysmal tachycardia and hypertension.

[Detachment of the triceps in the treatment of elbow stiffness in extension in children]. / La désinsertion du triceps dans le traitement des raideurs du coude en extension chez l'enfant.

A total triceps disinsertion technique was used in children for treating elbow stiffness in extension, subsequent either to antibiotics injections administered in the arm, or to some old unreduced dislocations met in our experience. The disinsertion allowed the recovery of a good range motion in the post-injections stiffnesses and facilitated the reduction in old unreduced dislocations. The triceps detached in this manner preserves its bio-mechanical integrity, avoiding at the same time the risk of intra-articular hypertension. Used 17 times (in 12 post-injections retractions and 5 unreduced dislocations), this technique provided interesting results.
