[Cervical uterus septus. Atypical malformation as a cause of sterility]. / Utérus cloisonné cervical. Malformation atypique comme une cause de stérilité.

A review of the congenital anomalies of the feminine genital apparatus has been carried out with regard to the infrequent finding of a selective septum in cervix with a single uterine cavity and normal morphology in a patient with primary sterility. Colposcopy, hysterosalpingography and laparoscopy have been made for diagnosis confirmation.

[First radiological description of Morgagni's hydatid. Laparoscopic confirmation]. / Première description radiologique de l'existence d'hydatides de Morgagni. Confirmation laparoscopique.

The authors explain the clinical case of a female patient suffering from secondary sterility; she was submitted, among other test, to the H.S.G. in order to study the possibility of a among other tests, to the H.S.G. in order to study the possibility of a cervical failure. The radiological findings obtained of Morgagni's Hydatis, not described previously in literature and their laparoscopic confirmation justify, we believe, its publication.

[Thoracic kidney ectopy]. / Ectopie thoracique rénale.

We present a case of intra-thoracic kidney, a chance finding in a study carried out arising from a kidney disease. The rarity of this case led us to study and present it. A series of embryological and diagnostic considerations has been made, and the procedure to follow in these cases is discussed.

[Aberrant renal papilla. Description of a new sign and review of the literature]. / Papille rénale aberrante. Description d'un nouveau signe, revue de la littérature.

The aberrant renal papilla or papillary invagination is an uncommon congenital anomaly which, because of its radiological appearance, should be included in the differential diagnosis of processes associated with filling defects in the renal pelvis. Its halo of radiolucency and its longitudinal striae, its solid echogenicity and a possible associated vascular anomaly (angiodysplasia) should constitute the basis of the diagnosis. An ultrasonographic evaluation, conducted every 6 to 12 months can constitute, as in the case presented here, a form of follow-up avoiding the need for radical therapy.

Barcelona retrograde urethrography: a new device and technique.

PURPOSE: We describe a new device and technique for retrograde urethrography without instrumentation of the male urethra. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed retrograde urethrography with a vacuum uterine cannula in 160 patients. Stricture of the distal tip of the urethra and iatrogenic damage to the urethra were evaluated. RESULTS: No patient sustained iatrogenic damage to the urethra and stricture of the distal tip of the urethra was visualized in 12 patients. CONCLUSIONS: We recommend the use of this technique of retrograde urethrography without instrumentation to determine urethral disease when manipulation of the urethra must be avoided or is impossible due to meatal stenosis.
