Thrombosis of the proximal greater saphenous vein: ultrasonographic diagnosis and clinical significance.

Eleven of 985 (1.1%) patients referred for leg ultrasonographic examinations to evaluate for deep venous thrombosis over a 3 year period were found to have isolated proximal greater saphenous vein thrombosis. Retrospective review of their treatments and sequelae showed that six patients (55%) initially treated with anticoagulant medication or high vein ligation had no further sequelae. Of four patients (36%) not initially treated, two subsequently developed pulmonary embolus, one had clot propagation into the common femoral vein, and one developed noncontiguous deep venous thrombosis. The findings of this review would suggest aggressive treatment for isolated upper greater saphenous vein thrombosis.

Partial subclavian steal.

The phenomenon of subclavian steal syndrome has recently been found to have a subset group that has been described as partial or "pre-steal" in physiology. Our case of a Marine Corps pilot with this partial subclavian steal physiology is reviewed, in addition to the maneuvers we performed to temporarily convert him to complete steal physiology. A discussion of the symptomatology and prognosis of this diagnosis is included, with emphasis on military service.

From the archives of the AFIP. Malignant germ cell tumors of the ovary: radiologic-pathologic correlation.

Malignant germ cell tumors are the most common malignant ovarian neoplasms in girls and young women. The most well known of these neoplasms are dysgerminoma, immature teratoma, endodermal sinus tumor, and a mixture of two or more of these elements. All malignant germ cell tumors, especially immature teratoma, can be associated with mature (benign) teratoma. These tumors are generally large and have a complex but predominantly solid appearance on cross-sectional images. Elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein and human chorionic gonadotropin levels can help establish the diagnosis. Cystic areas of calcifications suggestive of mature teratoma do not exclude a co-existing malignant neoplasm.
