This is a case report of idiopathic intestinal lymphangiectasia occurring in a 3-year-old boy. Idiopathic intestinal lymphangiectasia is believed to be a part of the generalized congenital disorder of lymphatic system. The present case revealed markedly ectatic lymphatics in the lamina propria of duodenal villi with lymphorrhagia. Clinical features were typical of the protein-losing enteropathy; hypoalbuminemia, hypocalcemia, chylous ascites, edema of the lower extremities and mild lymphocytopenia. This case indicates that serious protein loss may ensue, even in cases of intestinal lymphangiectasia without abnormalities of extraintestinal lymphatics.

There are many procedures for stabilizing the foot but all frail feet, all complete drop feet, and all calcaneocavus deformities due to paralysis are best treated by pantalar fusion. Hunt and Thompson advised one stage pantalar arthrodesis by astragalectomy and replacement of the denuded bone in paraiytic feet resulting from poliomyelitis. At the Presbyterian Medical Center, Jeonju, Korea, 12 one stage pantalar arthrodesis were performed between 1973 and 1978 and following observations were made. 1. Seven of the patient had pantalar fusions because of poliomyelitis. 2. Five feet were equinovarus and 4 had frail feet with varying amounts of varus or valgus of the forepart of the foot and of the heel. 3. Nine patients were considered to have a good result, two had a fair and one was failure 4. Length of immobilization was from 13 weeks to 37 weeks and the average length of immobilization was 17 weeks. 5. In one stage pantalar arthrodesis, there was no complication except one non-union and the period of hospitalization was decreased.
