Parietal sierosa for protecting colonic suture lines. Technical note.

Suture line leakage is a frequent, serious problem in colon surgery. We propose the use of a flap of the parietal peritoneum from the paracolic gutter, adjacent to the operative site, to protect right and left colon suture lines. The advantage of this method is that it permits complete exclusion of the sutured intestine from the peritoneal cavity and avoids the risks of leakage from an intestinal suture line within the peritoneal cavity.

[Symptomatic headaches in internal medicine: the classification, physiopathological and diagnostic aspects].

Symptomatic or secondary headache occurs when pain itself is a symptom of disease. It is well known that within the general population the percent frequency of secondary headache is lower than that of primary headache. Moreover, some forms do not seem to evidence particular clinical, diagnostic or physiopathological importance. The Authors investigate here a number of clinical aspects of secondary headache, in particular headache in vascular disease (stroke, hypertension, Horton's arteritis). Particular attention is paid to headache in brain neoplasia due to the interest brought about by the diagnostic problems of this disease. Lastly postural headache and its prevalence in the general population is examined. Various physiopathological aspects of this form (stress, psychosocial events) are evaluated.

Vascular injuries in ergotamine abuse: a case report.

The case reported here concerns a 40-year-old woman who has suffered from severe migraine without aura since she was 23. The patient has been taking 1-3 suppositories of Virdex (2 mg of ergotamine tartrate, 250 mg of aminophenazone, caffeine) every day for the past three years. In addition to headache, the onset of short, sporadic cramps in the limbs together with paresthesia, hyposthenia, hypothermia and skin pallor with a slight increase in diastolic pressure, made hospital treatment necessary. Instrumental investigation through a stress test on a moving carpet, doppler, echo-doppler and digitalized angiography of the arterial vessels of the lower limbs shows the presence of bilateral impairment attributable to the chronic intake of ergotamine.
