PURPOSE: Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease is an idiopathic avascular necrosis of the femoral head. Although many surgical approaches to treat the late presentation of this pathology have been proposed, there are few reports about the early results of the double osteotomy procedure (femoral varus osteotomy combined with Salter innominate osteotomy). The purpose of this study was to describe the early results obtained with the double osteotomy in patients with late presentation of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease.

Cardiac trauma after blunt chest trauma is a rare complication of patients arriving alive to an emergency department. We here present the case of patient who had a partial rupture of the interventricular septum after having had a blunt chest trauma in a traffic accident. As there was no ventricular septal defect, conservative management was deemed appropriate. At 3-year follow-up, the patient was free of right heart failure symptoms suggestive of the septal defect progression.

English, SpanishPresentamos el caso de un paciente masculino de 47 años de edad, quien fue remitido al servicio de hepatología clínica del Hospital Pablo Tobón Uribe para el estudio de un síndrome ictérico. Tras realizársele varios análisis, se le diagnosticó hidatidosis hepática y recibió albendazol como terapia, sin embargo, después de cinco meses de tratamiento ininterrumpido consultó nuevamente y su perfil hepático mostró marcado daño hepatocelular. Se le diagnosticó entonces una hepatitis toxica inducida por albendazol basados en la información de la historia clínica, el antecedente de consumo del fármaco, la mejoría clínica y en las pruebas de laboratorio tras suspender el medicamento y después de descartar las otras causas posibles; este diagnóstico fue respaldado por la escala CIOMS/RUCAM, que mostró una correlación probable entre el daño hepatocelular y la etiología toxica farmacológica.
