Epidural blood patch for the treatment of chronic headache after myelography.

Isotope studies have related chronic headache after myelography to persistent leakage of normal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) through an unsealed puncture hole in the dura and arachnoid. Although a technique well known to anesthesiologists, the use of an epidural blood patch (EBP) as a means to seal the dural opening is not known to many radiologists. We have used this technique successfully in three patients and believe it should be performed on all those still suffering from typical postural headaches three weeks after myelography if conservative treatment has failed and if there are no contraindications.

[Cyst of the medial meniscus of the knee].

We had the opportunity to observe a case of cyst of the medial meniscus of the knee. We observed unusual findings; association with a meniscal tear and communication through the tear with the articular cavity.

[Pelvic lipomatosis].

A case of pelvic lipomatosis is presented and the literature is reviewed. The radiologic signs enable the radiologist to make an accurate diagnosis. This should avoid unnecessary laparatomy.
