          Abstract

          Le textilome est une complication postopératoire très rare mais bien connue. Il peut s'agir d'un corps étranger composé de compresse(s) ou champ(s) chirurgicaux laissés au niveau d'un foyer opératoire. La découverte du textilome abdominale est généralement tardive. L'anamnèse est donc essentielle pour diagnostic vu que la clinique n'est pas concluante. La clinique associe des troubles chroniques du transit à des syndromes sub-occlusifs, le cliché d'abdomen sans préparation est peu contributif. L’échographie est fiable. La tomodensitométrie permet un diagnostic topographique précis. Certaines équipes proposent des explorations par IRM. Nous rapportons un cas de textilome intra abdominale, chez une patiente opérée 6 mois auparavant d'un fibrome utérin.

            Gossypiboma--"a surgeon's legacy": report of a case and review of the literature.

            Gossypiboma (from Latin gossipium cotton and Kiswahili boma place of concealment) or retained surgical sponge is a ubiquitous medical error that is avoidable. It can cause serious morbidity and possibly even mortality. Because it is not anticipated, it is frequently misdiagnosed, and often-unnecessary radical surgical procedures are performed. It should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any postoperative case with unresolved or unusual problems.

              Gauze-induced granuloma ("gauzoma"): an uncommon complication of gauze reinforcement of berry aneurysms.

              Incompletely and even adequately clipped berry aneurysms are often reinforced with finely shredded gauze. In seven female patients this practice led to a series of events including headache, pyrexia, seizures, cranial nerve deficits, endocrinopathy, cerebrospinal fluid pleocytosis, and an enhancing mass demonstrated by computerized tomography at the aneurysm site. One patient with blindness, hydrocephalus, and panhypopituitarism died and was examined at autopsy. Three additional female patients have been identified in the literature with similar case histories. It is suggested that in these patients the gauze induced a foreign-body granuloma, accompanied by progressive occlusion of neighboring small arteries. It would seem prudent to reserve gauze reinforcement for aneurysms that cannot be securely obliterated surgically.
