Two cases of annular pancreas in adults are being reported. In the first case, a middle aged lady presented with duodenal obstruction and gastric ulcer. Anterior H. S. V. with posterior truncal vagotomy and isoperistaltic duodeno-jejunostomy relieved her symptoms. In the second case, a young girl presented with duodenal obstruction, severe wasting and gross dehydration. She had an uneventful recovery following a duodeno-jejunostomy.

Clinical findings, symptoms and predisposing factors were studied in 43 patients with oesophageal candidiasis, 40 patients with peptic oesophagitis and 40 normal controls. Oesophageal candidiasis was confirmed cytologically. 2.4% of patients who had undergone gastroscopy had oesophageal candidiasis; only three of them had simultaneous candidiasis of the oral cavity. Cardiac failure, oesophageal varices, hiatus hernia and gastric ulcer were common associated disorders. 42% of patients with candidal oesophagitis were symptom-free. Most common symptoms were vomiting, retrosternal and epigastric pain. Peptic oesophagitis was more frequently associated with symptoms. Predisposing factors were present in 88% of cases of oesophageal candidiasis: alcoholism, hepatic cirrhosis, diabetes mellitus, malignant tumours and other wasting diseases. 18 patients had had treatment with cimetidine; they included all 13 patients whose candidiasis was first detected at check endoscopy.

The Bartter syndrome is a rare hereditary salt-wasting tubulopathy, characterized by metabolic alkalosis, hypokalemia, hyperreninemia and hyperaldosteronemia of varying severity. Indomethacin and high doses of oral potassium have been until now the therapeutic strategies used, with high risk of gastrointestinal injury. Since April 2009, aliskiren--renin inhibitor--has been used in individual cases of Bartter syndrome in adults, by ignoring its use in pediatrics. The authors present the case of an eight year old child with Bartter syndrome, treated with oral potassium chloride and oral indomethacin, whom has been diagnosed a giant gastric ulcer. To enable the reduction of the amount of potassium administered, we chose to start the aliskiren.
