ABSTRACT
Hyperostosis frontalis interna was first described in 1719 in association with obesity and hirsutism, forming Morgagni's syndrome. A high prevalence and a lack of studies demonstrating a strong correlation between these different signs currently question the existence of such a syndrome. Hyperostosis frontalis interna predominates in women. The anomaly exclusively involves the inner table and constantly spares the diploe and the external table. The main differential diagnosis of cranial hyperostosis is made between meningioma, osteoma, Paget's disease and fibrous dysplasia. The clinical implication of hyperostosis as well as its etiology are also debated.
L'hyperostose frontale interne a initialement été décrite en 1719, en association avec une obésité et de l'hirsutisme, formant ainsi le syndrome de Morgagni. Une prévalence élevée et un manque d'études confirmant une corrélation entre ces différents signes remettent actuellement en doute l'existence de ce syndrome. L'hyperostose frontale interne prédomine largement chez la femme. L'affection concerne exclusivement la table interne et épargne constamment le diploé et la table externe. Le diagnostic différentiel principal des hyperostoses crâniennes s'établit entre le méningiome, l'ostéome, la maladie de Paget et la dysplasie fibreuse. L'implication clinique de l'hyperostose ainsi que son étiologie sont également débattues.

BACKGROUND: Ileal conduit parastomal hernias (ICPHs) are frequent after radical cystectomy with ileal conduit urinary diversion, but their management is debated. This study aimed to review the results of ICPH repair according to Sugarbaker or Sandwich techniques, with special interest in ICPH recurrence and urological complications. METHODS: The authors reviewed a consecutive series of patients undergoing ICPH repair between January 2014 and December 2020. Primary endpoints were ICPH recurrences at clinical exam and cross-sectional abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans. Secondary endpoints were any other complications possibly related to the ICPH repair. RESULTS: Twenty-three patients underwent ICPH repair surgery (16 Sugarbaker and 7 Sandwich techniques) during the study period. Sixteen patients underwent a primary laparoscopic approach. All but one patient underwent at least one abdominal CT during the follow-up. Median clinical and CT scan follow-up times were 57 and 50.5 months, respectively. Clinical and CT ICPH recurrence rates were 4.5% and 13% at 5 years, respectively. Eighteen patients (78%) suffered no urological complications during the follow-up period, but three patients (13%) needed redo surgery on the urinary ileal conduit. CONCLUSION: The modified Sugarbaker or Sandwich techniques might be considered as promising techniques for ICPH repair with a low rate of recurrence. The urological complications, and particularly the ileal conduit-related issues, need to be evaluated in further studies. Controlled and prospective data are required to compare the Sugarbaker and Sandwich techniques to the Keyhole approach for ICPH repairs.
