XII, B, 2 Mendoza-Guazon: Anatomicopathologic Lesions 55 



Retroretinal hemorrhage due to glioma, 2 cases. 



Hemorrhage from the alimentary tract, 4 cases. One was from 

 a gastric ulcer in a male 25 days old that died of lobar and lobular 

 pneumonia and acute nephritis; 1 a duodenal ulcer and compli- 

 cated with suppurative otitis media ; 1 from the urinary bladder 

 and accompanied by ulcerative enterocolitis ; and the last had also 

 hemorrhage in the duodenum, hematoma in the left lobe of the 

 liver, and cerebromeningeal hemorrhage. Hemorrhage in the 

 adrenals is a frequent occurrence either alone or with hemorrhage 

 of the other organs. Of the first we had 3 cases, and of the 

 latter we had 4. 



Hemorrhage in the liver, 8 cases. Of these, 4 were accom- 

 panied by hemorrhage of the brain or meninges; 2 of the 

 adrenals ; and of 2, of both organs. 



Rupture of the anterior intervertebral ligament at the level 

 of the last cervical vertebra, 3 cases. This is probably due 

 to extreme anteflection of the head in performing Moriceau's 

 maneuver for extraction of the head. 



ANOMALIES AND CONGENITAL DEFECTS 



Heart and blood vessels, 21 cases. 



Patent foramen ovale, 19 cases; patent ductus arteriosus, 36; 

 patent interventricular septum, 4; displaced heart to the right 

 side, 1; and presence of two cusps in the pulmonary orifice, 

 1. The small number of cases with patent foramen ovale and 

 ductus arteriosus is probably due to incomplete examination on 

 the part of the pathologist. 



Brain. There has been one case of each of the following: 

 Porencephalus, hernia cerebri, meningocele, sacral spina bifida, 

 long cerebellar peduncles, and microencephalia. The pseudote- 

 tanic symptoms of the last have been reported by Jose Albert 

 and M. P. Mendoza to the Philippine Medical Association (1912) . 



Genitourinary system, 16 cases. Horseshoe kidney, 2 cases; 

 congenital cystic kidneys, 2; undescended testicles, 4; con- 

 genital hydrocele, 2; stricture of ureter, 1; left ureter coming 

 from the lower anterior portion of the kidney, 1 ; cystic ovaries, 

 2; hernia of right tube and ovary in right inguinal canal, 1; 

 bicornuate uterus, 1. One of the cases of undescended testicle 

 had hernia in the right inguinal canal, and one of the cases of 

 cystic ovaries was accompanied by patent interventricular sep- 

 tum. The infantile uterus has been found many times on the 

 left side in my autopsies.
