Diagnosis And Treatment

Mental Retardation: Diagnosis and Treatment, is a survey of modest size (271 pages) with a light, very readable style, touching briefly on the main areas of study of the child with cerebral handicap and thus oriented primarily toward the student or the generalist. Whereas two well written and broadly useful chapters are "Education information" (chapter 4) and "Treatment of metabolic and endocrine causes" (chapter 7) , the bulk of the text is distressingly superficial and unsatisfactory, representing a medically pragmatic and rather compromising attitude.

This concise, highly readable compendium grew out of an optimistic attempt by the authors, some years ago, to cover the field of pediatric cardiology in a 2-day lecture seminar! The general aim is to offer a brief basic introduction to pediatric cardiology, with emphasis on fundamental general considerations as well as the more common disease entities. The first 11 chapters deal with the basic tools of pediatric cardiology such as anatomy and embryology, experimental production and genetics of cardiac anomalies, abnormal hemodynamics, the physical examination, and the various modalities of laboratory examination.

Pity the busy practicing obstetrician who tries to keep up with the latest on the management of the "Rh problem" in his practice. Whereas once, there were only two Rh types, Rh positive and Rh negative, now there are more than two dozen, of which at least six can cause problems, though most rather rarely. And, there is a 20% danger of fetal death which may now be foretold by pigment changes in the amniotic fluid. So amniocentesis is an important prognostic measure.

SummaryCYSTS of the major salivary glands are most frequent in the parotid where they form a small percentage of its benign tumours. They can be congenital or acquired and of parotid or extraparotid origin. Two unusual cysts are reported: a cholesteatoma arising from the ipsilateral mastoid, twenty years after successful radical mastoidectomy, and a deeply located cyst of probable congenital origin. The literature is reviewed and the management discussed. Parotidectomy, often with extensive dissection, remains in general the treatment of choice.Cysts in the parotid gland represent a small percentage of benign parotid masses. They usually arise within the gland from salivary or non-salivary parotid tissue, and may be congenital or acquired. Some, however, may arise from surrounding structures.Unless the cyst is superficial and therefore readily amenable to proper examination, it usually escapes a definite diagnosis even with the help of sialography or more sophisticated procedures. Exploration is eventually resorted to for diagnosis and treatment. That is why the surgeon should be ready to perform extensive surgery if the findings at exploration necessitate it.The purpose of this article is to present two cystic lesions of the parotid. The first is a rarity, a cholesteatoma originating from the ipsilateral mastoid; and the second an unusually deeply located cyst. These cases illustrate well the problems met with in the management of preauricular masses.
