A patient with small bowel infarction was studied using grey-scale ultrasound. The appearance was that of a lobulated abdominal mass consisting of smaller masses with a central sonolucent area and a peripheral echogenic rind. This is the reverse of what has been described in intramural intestinal hematoma, intussusception, and inflammatory and neoplastic bowel masses.

Angiography demonstrated intussusception in a patient with recurrent unexplained gastrointestinal hemorrhage after outside barium studies had been interpreted as normal. Magnification arteriography provided an unusually clear depiction of the anatomic derangement of intussusception.

Two newborns with similar lesions were treated at two children's hospitals. Each newborn presented with an abdominal emergency that required immediate surgery. In each instance, small bowel obstruction was clinically and radiologically suspected; barium enema examination showed an irreducible colonic intussusception in the first baby and a colonic perforation in the second. Both these findings required immediate operation. The baby with the intussusception had a colon resection and a primary anastomosis, while the newborn with the perforation had a resection and temporary colostomy. Subsequent to the initial surgery, neither baby has received any further treatment for the tumor. The two patients are now well at 13 yr and 6 yr of age.

A case of intussusception into the enteroanastomosis associated with a Billroth II gastric resection is presented. The case is discussed in the light of jejunogastric intussusceptions, described for the first time in 1917, about 30 years after the first gastrojejunostomy. For 30 years enteroanastomosis has been a general procedure in connection with the Billroth II type of gastric resection. The aetiology is discussed.

Forty patients with colorectal schistosomiasis who failed to respond to medical therapy were studied. They had dysentery with bloody mucus and anemia, polyps, pericolic masses, and schistosomal ulcers. Two patients had cecal masses which appeared to be intussusception and appendicitis. Three patients had chronic intestinal obstruction. Diverting transverse colostomy, followed by other surgical procedures, is the safest method of management.

Intussusception involving the excluded small bowel segment is an infrequent complication following intestinal by-pass procedures for morbid obesity. Because the intussusception involves bowel not in continuity with the alimentary stream, the usual diagnostic clinical and radiographic patterns fail to appear and recognition is usually delayed. This paper reports in detail such a patient, who was relieved of prolonged abdominal pain by operation. Previously reported patients are reviewed.

The standard Nissen operation is the most effective method of reflux control. However, the procedure can result in continuance of symptoms, particularly dysphagia, which presents considerable diagnostic difficulty. Experience gained in the management of 17 patients with continued recurrent symptoms following standard Nissen repair has allowed more specific definition of the nature of these problems. The anatomical defect has been categorized as follows: (1) tight repair (tight fundoplication or tight diaphragmatic repair); (2) anatomical recurrence with and without reflux; and (3) intussusception recurrence. Each patient has been evaluated by history, manometry, pH reflux, acid perfusion, radiology, and endoscopy. At the time of corrective operation, the previous repair was carefully dissected to allow confirmation of the type of defect. Correlation is made between symptoms, investigative findings, and the anatomical problem at operation.

A case of inflammatory fibroid polyp of the sigmoid colon is presented. This is the eight case of this type of polyp in the colon and, to the best of our knowledge, the first one involving the sigmoid and producing intussusception. Symptomatology of the inflamed fibroid polyp in this part of the gut closely simulates gastrointestinal malignancy. The treatment is surgical excision of the polyp, or colonoscopic resection when it is possible. Intraoperative colonoscopy helps the surgeon to localize the lesion and to role out the existence of other lesions.

In a 15-month period, at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, 44 cases of obstructed hernia were treated by emergency operation. More than 94 percent were inguinal, but femoral hernia was not common. The ratio of females to males was 1:6.4, and more than 68 percent of hernias occurred on the right side. The youngest patient was two weeks old. One incarcerated hernial sac contained an ileoileal intussusception and a segment of sigmoid colon.

At the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria, over a 30-month period (January 1975 to June 1977) more than 29 cases were fully studied. Nine patients presented with acute large bowel obstruction. In five cases, colonic neoplasms were palpated abdominally before surgery, and four of the patients were initially being treated for "hemorrhoids". All the patients presented at late stages. There was neither socio-economic nor sexual bias in this affliction. Sixty-nine percent of all the tumors occurred in the anorectal area well within the reach of the index finger, and 27.5% occurred in the right colon. Differential diagnosis included ameboma, rectal schistosomiasis, rectal tubercolosis, anal fistula and adult chronic intermittent intussusception. The treatment administered depended on the nature, location and stage of the disease. There was a case of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the hepatic flexure causing obstruction. The metastasis was from carcinoma of the cervix which had been treated with cesium insertions about three years previously. It is now known that colon and anorectal neoplasms, once regarded as rare among Africans living in tropical Africa, is not that rare. With the Africans boycotting native "doctors" in favor of medical institutions, many of the diseases once thought to be rare in Africans will unfortunately become less rare.
