The apparatus is easy to use and the films can be taken almost as quickly as normal radiograms. This automatic switch mechanism is particularly useful for polypnoeic infants and should be employed more widely.

The modified needle-catheter was used to study the aorta and its branches using the left translumbar approach. The high rate of blood flow (30 to 34 ml/s) gave excellent opacification of the thoracic and abdominal aortas, and the lower limbs.

Diagnosis was made from the appearance of the fatty mass in a straight abdominal film. Radiological examination was completed by urography and echotomography. The analysis of 11 identical cases found in the literature enabled the principal clinical and radiological characterists of this affection to be defined and evoked the problems of differential diagnosis from other lipomatous abdominal masses and cystic lymphangioma.

The radiological signs are valid but at the present time-intestinal biopsy is the only certain diagnostic examination. Based on these observations, an attempt is made to define the indications for barium meal examination of the small intestine.

Echography would seem to merit an important role since out of a series of 100 patients, it led to a positive and confirmed diagnosis in 78% of cases with 22% of errors, including 4% of false positives. In almost 20% of cases, echography gave additional information to that of lymphography, this justifying the simultaneous application of both examinations, either diagnostically or in the context of the surveillance of treatment. Lymphadenopathies are regularly visible from a diameter of 3 cm upwards, their structure is generally very slightly echogenic only and they may be perfectly precisely located. Problems of differential diagnosis are minimal if the technique is applied carefully, by contrast the appearance of lymphadenopathies is very similar and offers no indication as to the aetiology.

Those of congenital origin from glomerular aplasia, sometimes associated with a ureterocele or an ectopic anastomosis, and those due to an acquired lesion such as lithiasis, vesico-ureteral reflux, or secondary infection of a pocket of fluid. Radiological diagnosis is made by IVU with descending cystography and films taken during micturition. Cystoscopy and possibly retrograde ureteropyelography are essential in order to confirm the diagnosis.

Treatment is essentially the concern of the E.N.T. surgeon, but the problem cannot be resolved without a perfect understanding between the neurosurgeon, surgeon, E.N.T. specialist, and the radiologist.

The authors describe the chronological evolution of the bone lesions, based on radiological examinations of the older sister made at 4, 13 1/2, and 15 years of age. Evidence that clinical signs of early ageing are associated with a rapid drop in thymic hormone levels led the authors to search for radiological signs of premature ageing. At 15 years of age only minimal signs were apparent.
