RESUMO
We present a rare case of saccular aneurysm localised in the arm of a breast-feeding baby, secondary to accidental arterial puncture. Colour Doppler echography showed a cystic lesion with turbulent arterial flow related to the humeral artery. Complete surgical resection of the aneurysm was achieved.

The association between infertility and cryptorchidism is an accepted fact, usually attributed to the oligozoosperm, asthenozoosperm or teratozoosperm presented in ejaculation products of males with this antecedent. The nuclear maturity in a sample of men with antecedents of cryptorchidism have been studied and these results have been compared to those of a control group. The results of this work show the deficient transformation of nuclear proteins to protamines in males with antecedents of cryptorchidism compared to the control group, due to the remaining of immature histones. Alterations of nuclear maturity able to contribute to the subfertility of these men were found in spermatozoids of adult males with antecedents of cryptorchidism.

La malrotación intestinal es una eventualidad frecuente que constituye una causa predominante de obstrucción intestinal alta en el recién nacido. Por otro lado, las duplicaciones digestivas son malformaciones congénitas infrecuentes cuyo diagnóstico clínico es dificultoso. La asociación de duplicación intestinal y malrotación es extremadamente rara, habiéndose descrito tan sólo 12 casos previos. Presentamos el caso de una recién nacida que debutó con obstrucción intestinal alta por vólvulo de intestino medio asociado a duplicación yeyunal quística, que evolucionó satisfactoriamente tras la intervención quirúrgica (AU)

Air guns are tools which each day become more powerful serious or even fatal accidents are caused by them. We report the clinical case of a 10-year old patient who received an accidental shot puncturing the right auricle, with generation of an important hemopericardium. A favorable evolution followed conservative treatment. However, we want to emphasize the potential gravity of injuries caused by this type of weapon.

A prospective study in 11 consecutive children with gastroduodenal disease is presented. Endoscopic study and gastric biopsies were performed for histologic and bacteriologic research of H. pylori. Endoscopic studies in 7 of the patients showed lesions of antritis that were assessed by histopathologic study. H. pylori was isolated in 4 of them. The presence of H. pylori in the stomach of children with chronic gastritis is confirmed. It is remarked the importance of gastric biopsy, at least when the endoscopic study shows the presence of antral gastritis.
