Subarachnoid-pleural fistula.

This is the tenth case report of a subarchnoid-pleural fistula. One of the authors (H. T. L.) reported the first case in 1959. This case reconfirms the value of myelography in making the diagnosis and localizing the surgical target. In addition, it demonstrates the usefullness of the Risa-131 scanning techniques for this condition. The use of methyl methacrylate plastic adhesive for closure of such a fistula has not been previously reported.

Simulated paraspinal tumor or abscess by rounded atelectasis of the lower lobe.

Lower lobe atelectasis may simulate paraspinal tumor or abscess when margins of the completely collapsed lobe become rounded laterally and the inferior edge separates from the diaphragm. We believe this unusual appearance relates to (1) influence of the pulmonary ligament and (2) total collapse of the lobe to its minimum possible volume. Three cases of different etiologies are herein presented.
