Occult stenosis of the common carotid artery complicating mandibular reconstruction with a fibular free flap.

An unsuspected severely stenosed common carotid artery that compromised a free flap for mandibular reconstruction is described. To our knowledge no one has advocated the assessment of the carotid tree before transfer of free tissue. We suggest that patients with several risk factors for peripheral vascular disease should have colour flow duplex imaging of the carotid system if transfer of free tissue is being considered.

CT demonstration of pituitary stalk relapse in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.

Central nervous system relapse in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) occurs in 8% (all risks). Leptomeningeal infiltration is the usual form of relapse and pituitary stalk involvement is rarely found. We report the CT demonstration of pituitary stalk relapse with endocrine evidence of disruption of the hypothalamo-pituitary axis.
