Pulmonary agenesis is the entire absence of lung parenchyma, vascular structures and/or bronchi further than the bifurcation. It is a rare condition; only about 200 cases have been reported worldwide for the year 2000. The anomaly affects both sexes equally and may be unilateral or bilateral. The diagnosis, as well as the prognosis and treatment of the disease is important because it might be confused with other alterations of the lungs. Case presentation. This paper presents the case of a 3-month- old female infant, born at term who has been treated with a colostomy due to imperforate anus. The patient attended the Los Andes University Hospital Institute because of a dry cough and anterior hyaline rhinorrhea. Physical examination evidenced decreased breath sounds in right hemithorax, bilateral rhonchus and a functioning left colostomy. Posteroanterior chest radiograph showed ipsilateral displacement of cardiac and tracheal silhouette. Chest computerized tomography with contrast was performed reporting agenesis of right lung, right bronchus, right pulmonary artery branch and dextrocardiac heart. Due to the clinical characteristics, the patient was monitorized and treated in external consult. Discussion. It is important to emphasize that in this case pulmonary agenesis had an asymptomatic course; the right agenesis was presented as a casual finding associated with imperforate anus. Key words: Pulmonary agenesis, congenital malformation, imperforate anus.

In this respect, we try to define the essential elements of the macro-politics and the border policies of both countries; as well as to determine the geopolitical and geo-strategic burden in both cases. Of utmost interest is the position of the most important milestones of the boundary and border policies in the 60's and the border policies of Colombia and Venezuela in the 70's and 80's. At the same time we refer, in a tangent manner, to the process of integration as a border policy and, particularly, after an exhausting inquiry we gave information about their border policies in the 90´s. To conclude we express some criteria which we consider appropriate.

Renacimiento inglés, sean unas que Santo Tomás, nuestro Doctor Angélico, emplea en la "Suma Teológica", muy relacionadas con el tema que vamos a tratar aquí: "Todos los pecados de los hombres son causados por el De.monio... ya que incitó a pecar al primer hombre" ("Suma Teológica", 1, q. 114, a. 3).

In its content there are some considerations about integration, frontier development and the so called conflicting factors in these areas. Some aspects that the state and its governments in these countries have considered within the frame of these processes or "Problems" are presented and analysed, particularly those problems that have taken place during the 90s. Special reference is given to the fundamental factors of "anti-development" of the frontier; as well as the transfrontier dynamics, its conflictive potentiality or possible solution. In the elaboration of this study different sources were used. These include newspaper articles, journals, books, documents and so on. There are also some recommendations refering to the necesity to intensify or redirect the politics of frontier integration; the obligation to increase the use of natural and human resources that exist in these areas, and of overcoming the antagonic situations that prevail in the frontier areas.
