✦ Synopsis

Apophyseolysis der Spine iliaca anterior inferior Eine histologisehe, klinische und radiologisehe Untersuehnng Summary. Four cases of avulsion of the anterior inferior iliae spine were presented. Three of them affected boys of about 15 years (2 after a strain without local trauma--1 after local trauma). The fourth was discovered by chance on the X-rays of a man.

Histological examination was made of 2 cases. A recent one showed the remodelling of a fracture of the apophysary growth cartilage. An older one showed aspecific bone remodelling.

The incidence, clinical and radiologiea! data, pathology and pathogenesis of such apophysiolysis is discussed. * We would like to express our thanks to Mrs. Dr. J. Roddolo, Dr. R. Glatt and Dr. K. Ulman (Geneva), Dr. H. de Roten (Sion) for having kindly provided us with the clinical and radiologieal informations.
