For many years, from the discovery of X-ray up today, medical morfological diagnosis has been based on the analysis of radiographic image. Having regard to the potential risks of ionizing radiations, radiological exploration can not be taken into account as they are harmful, and in some cases they can become dangerous. Authors point out that an abusive using of radiological exploration exists in our country. As for children, a negligent use of radiology can reach very concerned limits. Ultrasound systems which are currently available, used before radiology in a systematical manner, can resolve a morfological diagnostic in many cases, in a sure and faster way, with the great advantage to be a risk-less procedure because ultrasounds are mechanical not ionizing waves. Six cases are shown as an example of the diagnostic possibilities of ultrasound in pediatrics.

A case of osseous lymphangiectasis in a girl is presented and a review of existing literature is made. We include this illness in the group of complex vascular displasis. We mainly focus our attention on radiographic examination which is characteristic, even if not specific. Diagnosis was confirmed by osseous biopsy which is not easy to perform successfully but produced a positive result in our case. It was not possible to perform lymphography.

PIP: The case is described of a 32-year old woman with an 8 year history of oral contraceptive (OC) use who developed vascular complications. Significant findings in the patient's history included an appendectomy and repeated biliary colic dating back 7 years. The patient sought help for an attack of hepatic colic with vomiting, chills, and fever, dyspepsia, and intolerance of fats. Pain was noted on palpation and the clinical and sonographic findings indicated hepatomegaly. Based on the other clinical and laboratory findings, a preliminary diagnosis of infected hepatic hydatidic cyst was made and the intrahepatic hematoma was drained. The postoperative diagnosis was a large hematoma occupying the greater part of the right hepatic lobe. A pleural hemorrhage occurred during postoperative hospitalization and was treated medically, but 4 days after discharge from the hospital the patient returned with a pleural hemorrhage that required drainage. Hydatidosis is endemic in the region of Spain where the case occurred, and the grounds for differential diagnosis are specified. Several illustrations including sonograms, X-rays, and results of computerized axial tomography are included and explained. With the increasing use of OCs in Spain, it is likely that more such cases will be seen.^ieng

Two cases of neonatal adrenal haemorrhage are presented. Abdominal mass or jaundice appears in clinical study. Conventional diagnosis procedures are analyzed and advantages of abdominal echographic exploration is evaluated in order of precocious diagnosis and adequate monitoring of lesion evolution. Likewise, usefulness of ultrasounds in establishing differential diagnosis of adrenal haemorrhage in relation to other abdominal masses, important fact to save laparotomy, is emphasized.
