Peritoneal Hydatidosis

Secondary peritoneal hydatidosis is caused by spontaneous or iatrogenic rupture of hepatic echinococcal cysts. We describe the case of a 65-year-old Tunisian male patient with previous history of liver hydatidosis who presented to our attention with subocclusive status. Imaging revealed a retrovesical hydatid cyst, adherent to the sigmoid colon. The treatment of choice was surgical removal of the cyst and the sigmoid colon. The patient is now being closely followed up.

Unilateral Proptosis

Hydatid cysts rarely appear in the orbital cavity without the involvement of the other organs. Most of them are situated in the superolateral and superomedial angles of the orbit. Inferiorly located cysts are very uncommon. The authors report a case of a primary hydatid cyst of the orbit with inferolateral localization. The cyst was removed surgically via a frontotemporoorbitozygomatic approach combination with puncture-aspiration-injection-reaspiration technique. This case was considered as a primary infection, because there was no previous history of hydatid disease and no findings of liver and lung cysts on radiological examination. Physicians should include orbital hydatid cyst in the differential diagnosis of unilateral proptosis. To avoid complications that might occur during surgery, the cyst can be easily removed using the combination technique detailed in this report.

This is a report on a male patient with a previous history of psychotic disorder who was arrested for arson. During the following hospitalization in a psychiatric unit, a genetic syndrome, namely Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY), was diagnosed. The association between fire-setting behavior and Klinefelter syndrome is reviewed, and the underlying explanatory hypothesis is discussed.

Ossification of the Achilles tendon is a rare condition. We recently treated a patient with ossification of bilateral Achilles tendons. The patient was a 50 year old male whose chief complaint was discomfort around the Achilles tendon. He had a previous history of treatment of bilateral club feet On the roentgenograms, the length of the bony mass in the Achilles tendon was 5.5 cm on the right side and 1.5 cm on the left side. The left side was treated by surgical removal of a bony mass and suture of the tendon. Microscopic examination of the extirpated specimen revealed bone formation through enchondral and intramembranous ossification in the Achilles tendon.

In a recent article in the British Medical Journal Maurice-Williams & Dunwoody (1988) reported two patients with frontal meningiomas who presented initially to psychiatrists. The correct diagnosis was made in one of them after prolonged, perhaps unnecessary, psychiatric treatment. In the other the diagnosis was made at autopsy. In this case psychiatrists were only briefly involved and neurosurgical referral had been made promptly. The authors, who treat these reports as a cautionary tale, conclude by warning psychiatrists to pay special attention to a number of features in the history and examination of psychiatric patients. In particular we are told that suspicion should arise in the presence of gradual non-remitting symptoms such as irritability, memory loss, self-neglect, dysphasia or incontinence in patients without a previous history of psychiatric disease or clear precipitating factors. They also suggest that we pay attention to the views of relatives when they feel the patient suffers from a physical rather than a psychiatric illness, and emphasise that early diagnosis leads to easier surgical removal and better outcome.

Hepatic endometriosis is a rare form of endometriosis first described by Finkel in 1986. A thorough review of the literature revealed 28 cases of hepatic endometriosis. This unusual condition offers several diagnostic challenges due to its variable appearance on imaging and need for histologic analysis to establish a definitive diagnosis. We present a 42-year-old female initially treated for presumed hydatid cyst that was later found to be endometriosis in the liver. The case highlights the importance of considering endometriosis in the differential for a patient presenting with a solitary liver mass regardless of age and previous history of endometriosis.

The study describes an unusual case that a patient with previous history of adenocarcinoma of sigmoid colon who has developed chronic suppurative cholecystitis and peritonitis was misdiagnosed as metastasis. This case is presented to illustrate the importance of considering benign etiologies that may mimic metastatic disease when interpreting positron emmision tomography (PET)/CT scans.

The assessment of suicidal intent is one of the most important problems of clinical psychiatry. An earlier study (Robin, Brooke and Freeman-Browne, 1968) has confirmed the high incidence of suicide in admissions diagnosed at first contact as suffering from affective disorders, and found that 8 per cent. male in-patients and 5 per cent. female in-patients so diagnosed committed suicide during a follow-up of 6–11 years. It was also shown that in male patient suicides unemployment at the time of first admission and a previous history of self-poisoning or self-inflicted injury occurred more often than in matched controls, while a history of more than one suicidal attempt was found more often in female suicides than in matched controls. Female suicides were treated less often with E.C.T. than their controls, and more often with tranquillizers.
