[Aortic dissection and Horton's disease. 2 cases].

The authors report two cases of temporal arteritis complicated with dissecting aneurysm of the aorta. The first one is discovered on systematical physical examination, the second is revealed by a thoracic pain. Clinical course is favourable under steroid therapy in both cases. Eleven cases of such complication with pathological control are reported in literature. Physiopathological mechanisms are discussed and active inflammatory involvement of aortic wall seem to be the main cause.

[Lung hematomas (author's transl)].

The peculiarity of lung hematomas is due to the association of two types of lesions: vascular ruptures and alveolar ruptures. Six original observations are associated to 68 others published by various authors in a detailed general review. The main characteristics are radiological, with the following stages: 1) diffuse confusion giving a widespread picture of a low density and imprecise outline, 2) constituted hematoma with a dense picture with clear cut outline of late diagnosis, 3) less frequently aero-hydric pictures. Evolution takes place by slow spontaneous resorption which does not always require surgery.
