Idiopathic pulmonary artery dilation is a rare but definite clinical entity. It must be distinguished from dilatation secondary to congenital and acquired cardiac or pulmonary disorders causing pulmonary hypertension. A middle-aged woman with idiopathic pulmonary artery dilation who was initally referred for evaluation of a mediastinal tumor is described. Idiopathic pulmonary artery dilatation should be considered in any patient with a prominent pulmonary arch and normal peripheral lung vascularity (AU)

A case of a 3-year and 9-month-old girl with segmental dilation of the colon and the Duane Retraction Syndrome is reported. The dilated hypertrophied segment of the colon had no taenia coli. Dysfunction of this segment was demonstrated both radiologically and clinically by a non-functioning clostomy placed at the apparent distal transition zone. The proximal and distal colonic segments were normal and a resection of the dilated segment was curative. The relevant literature is reviewed (AU)
