Seventy two patients with carotid cavernous fistula (CCFs) were managed at our hospital during fifteen year period. Transarterial treatment of CCFs using the detachable balloon technique was performed in all patients resulting in clinical and angiographic cure in 68 patients. Fatal outcome in two patients. Surgical ligation of the internal carotid artery was needed also in two patients.

[Evaluation of a method for determining ACTH concentration in samples of serum obtained by catheterization of inferior petrosal sinuses in diagnosis of Cushing's disease].

A method consisting in the catheterization of lower petrosal sinuses aimed at obtaining blood samples for the determination of ACTH concentration has been applied in diagnostically difficult cases of Cushing's disease. The appearance of ACTH concentration gradient between the blood originating from the immediate vicinity of pituitary and the peripheral venous blood confirmed the hypophyseal etiology of hypercortisolemia. The gradient of ACTH concentration between the two petrosal sinuses made possible the localization of a microadenoma in the anterior lobe of pituitary. The diagnostic conclusions obtained by the above method have been confirmed during the surgery.

[Intracerebral hemorrhage following amphetamine use].

We describe a young male who suffered intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) following nasal use of amphetamine. He recovered completely within several weeks of hospitalization. Angiography and MRI did not reveal vascular malformation and therefore we suspect that the ICH in our patient may be attributed to the effect of amphetamine alone.
