[Factor V-specific circulating anticoagulant and enteropathy. 2 cases].

Two patients with Factor V-specific circulating anticoagulant are presented: one had coeliac disease, the other Crohn's disease. In both patients the inhibitor appeared during flare-ups of the disease and disappeared during remission. This sequence was repeated after 1 year in one case, which seems to exclude a fortuitous association. No haemorrhage was observed. None of the usual aetiological circumstances was noted, which suggests that the condition was most probably auto-immune.

Erythema nodosum and Hodgkin's disease.

Erythema nodosum is an unusual manifestation of Hodgkin's lymphoma. One patient with long remission of Hodgkin's disease manifested persistent erythema nodosum beginning one and three months before relapse was clinically evident. So, the diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease should be considered in patients with unexplained recurrent erythema nodosum.

[Cardiac insufficiency caused by arteriovenous fistula. An unusual complication of spinal surgery].

Arteriovenous fistula is one of the main causes of high output cardiac failure. The authors report a case following lumbar disc surgery. There are a number of features which may suggest this complication both during surgery and in the immediate postoperative period which are important because the patient may only become symptomatic a long time after operation with a clinical presentation which leads to a cardiological rather than to a surgical referral.
