Objective: To describe epidemiological, anatomo-clinical and therapeutic aspects of peritoneo-vaginal canal pathologies (PVCP).Methods: We performed a retrospective and descriptive study on the files of PVCP cases operated in Lomé-Commune Regional Hospital (Togo). The study data concerned: the age, the occuring mode, anatomo-clinical classification, the side and treatment outcomes.Results: 107 files were collected from January 2011 to December 2015. The average age was 9.2 ± 8 years with a range from 16 months to 47 years. Twelve patients were less than 2 years and 14 patients were adults. The main consultation motive was an intermittent and painless inguinal or inguino-scrotal swelling in 89 cases (83.18%). The PVCP was in the right side in 66 patients (61.68%) and bilateral in 8 patients (7.47%). Concerning anatomo-clinical types, inguinal or inguino-scrotal hernia were more frequent (62.6%). The treatment was surgical in all cases and the average hospital stay was 2.1 days. The operative follow up was satisfactory in 94.3%. However, we noticed 4 cases of scrotal hematoma and 2 cases of parietal suppuration. The mortality rate after surgery was zero. One year back, we noticed two cases of testicular atrophy.Conclusions: Pathologies of the peritoneo-vaginal canal are frequent in our urological practice. Inguinal hernia and inguinoscrotal hernia are more represented. The surgical treatment results are successful.

AbstractElectroencephalography (EEG) is a valuable tool in the diagnosis of epilepsy. The attainment of a high quality EEG requires patient's co-operation which is particularly difficult in children. Chloral hydrate has been used as a sedating agent in EEGs but it has potential serious adverse effects and anti-epileptic activity. Melatonin is used increasingly in different investigations as a safe alternative. Our study is to compare their effectiveness as sedating agents in performing EEGs and the detection rate of abnormal EEGs. This is a retrospective study performed in a regional hospital in Hong Kong. One hundred and ninety two EEG studies were included from December 2010 to July 2014. One hundred and two children were given chloral hydrate (50 mg/Kg) in the first half of the period and 90 children were given melatonin (3 mg for =< 5 years or 6 mg for >= 5 year) in the later half. The two groups are compared with Pearson's Chi-squared test with Yates’ continuity correction. The successful rate in sedation was similar between the two groups while the pick up rate of abnormal EEGs was 52.56% in the melatonin group and 21.57% in the chloral hydrate group (p < 0.05). Subgroup analysis among patients with epilepsy or mental retardation and intellectual disability shared same findings with higher detection rate of abnormal EEGs in the melatonin group. No side effect was documented in the study. Compare with chloral hydrate, melatonin is a safe and effective alternative and probably has less interference with the electrographic activity.
