CT findings in the vertebral column in the radicular lumbosacral syndrome.

An analysis of the CT findings in 150 patients with the radicular lumbosacral syndrome showed that 98 of them (65.3%) were suffering from intervertebral disc prolapse or protrusion. In 44 of these patients the finding of a prolapsed disc was combined with major spondylarthrosis while 20 others had marked spondylarthrosis or spondylosis with no apparent disc prolapse. Other findings included metastatic destruction of the vertebra (4 cases), fractured vertebra (2 cases), osteoid osteoma (1 case), and discitis (1 case). Slight or major asymmetry was found in 94 per cent, and a high incidence (38.8%) of the atypical rotatable type of intervertebral articulation was noted. The high percentage seems to confirm the hypothesis, according to which the rotatable type of intervertebral union is one of the predisposing factors for the development of the radicular lumbosacral syndrome.

[Lymphography, computed tomography and ultrasonic examination in determining the involvement of retroperitoneal and abdominal lymph nodes in Hodgkin's disease].

Altogether 45 patients with Hodgkin's disease were examined with the help of lymphography (LG), computerized tomography (CT) and ultrasonography (USG). The LG, CT and USG results obtained in 20 patients were compared with the histological findings. The retroperitoneal lymph nodes contrasted in LG, when involved in a pathological process, were detected with approximately the same accuracy in CT and USG. The abdominal lymph nodes undiscernible on lymphograms, were visualized in CT and USG, the sensitivity of USG was higher than that of CT. An optimum scheme for examination of patients with Hodgkin's disease with USG as the chief method was proposed. CT and LG are conducted depending on USG results and a clinical picture of disease.

The lymphatics of the groin flap.

This communication briefly discusses lymph-draining potentials and problems of skin flaps; describes specifically the lymphatics of the groin flap, an axial pattern flap; gives examples of its clinical application as a lymphatic wick; and explains its partial success and failure. The concept of axial pattern flaps was developed when the groin flap was described in 1972 by McGregor and Jackson. Attempts were subsequently made to delineate the extent of the vascular territories of these axial vessels. Although the flap was initially used as a pedicle flap, transfer of its vascular territory based on the axial vessels was soon undertaken, producing the so-called free flap. One desirable characteristic of this axial pattern flap was the remarkable absence of edema following elevation and transfer or transplantation to the new site. This stimulated one of us (L.C.) to review the lymph-draining potential of this flap.
