[Various radiological aspects of spontaneous biliary-digestive fistulas].

A number of significant radiological pictures of spontaneous biliodigestive fistula are presented. The aetiopathogenesis, pathological anatomy and clinical medicine of the condition are reviewed and the techniques available for the radiological investigation of biliodigestive short-circuits considered; the most frequent radiological signs and corresponding pictures are discussed and the complications and differential diagnosis with duodeno-biliar reflow examined.

Superior thyroid artery lesion after US-guided chemical parathyroidectomy: angiographic diagnosis and treatment by embolization.

A 71-year-old woman presented with a life-threatening thyroid hemorrhage after US-guided chemical parathyroidectomy. The diagnosis was made by angiography followed by immediate embolization of a pseudoaneurysm of the left superior thyroid artery. Embolization controlled the hemorrhage, obviating the need for surgery. The patient made a full recovery with no evidence of further hemorrhage. Pseudoaneurysm of the superior thyroid artery is a rare cause of hemorrhage and percutaneous embolization is an effective method of treatment.

Prognostic value of somatosensory evoked potentials in stroke.

Median and tibial somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) were performed on 12 patients at three and twelve weeks after a first acute stroke, the relationship with motor and functional outcome as measured by British Medical Scale and Barthel Index was searched. Results indicated that the amplitude abnormalities of cortical potentials performed about three weeks after stroke are a good indicator of a poor motor and functional impairment after three months. Moreover changes in amplitude appeared more frequent and permanent than the latency abnormalities.

Evoked potential study and radiological findings in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.

We performed clinical, radiological (MRI) and neurophysiological (NCV, SEPs, and BAEPs) investigations in 36 unselected patients affected by Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). Fifteen patients (42%) presented clear neurological events and were considered as definite neuropsychiatric lupus (NPLE); 21 (58%) presented minor subjective complaints or no neurological problems referable to SLE and were considered as no-NPLE. Twenty-three patients (64%) showed neurophysiological abnormalities: 21 (58%) presented central abnormal neurophysiological measurements (including SEP and BAEP values), while 17 (47%) has slowed peripheral nerve conduction. Twenty-six out of 36 patients executed brain MRI examination. High intensity spots (HIS) in deep or subcortical white matter were the most common abnormalities and were present in 19 of the 26 patients (73%). We found that the incidence of neurophysiological and radiological abnormalities did not significantly differ in neurologically symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. Central nervous system impairment evidenced by abnormal N13-20 interpeak intervals (p = 0.05) and HIS (p = 0.01) findings was significantly associated with the presence of cutaneous vasculitis; while peripheral nerve involvement was significantly more frequent in patients with renal failure (p = 0.006).

P300 and respiratory findings in myotonic muscular dystrophy.

Ten patients with myotonic muscular dystrophy (MD) were examined by auditory event-related potentials (P300 ERPs), spirometric and blood gas analyses: arterial oxygen tension (PaO2), arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2) and arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2). The aim of the study was to analyse the frequency of ERP abnormalities in this disease and to determine whether the neurophysiological evidence of cognitive impairment might be related to the ventilatory function abnormalities frequently described in MD. The mean P300 latency was significantly altered in MD patients compared with controls; P300 latencies did not correlate with spirometric parameters, blood gas values or with age, age at onset, duration or clinical status of the disease. This study provides neurophysiological evidence of cognitive impairment in MD patients. The cognitive deficits are not related to alveolar hypoventilation and appear to be a non progressive feature of the disease.

The Leclercq test in diagnosis of tear in the rotator cuff.

The authors report their experience in using the Leclercq test to diagnose tear in the rotator cuff of the shoulder. When positive, this test consists in a radiographic demonstration of reduction in the subacromial space in opposing abduction of the shoulder. Twenty-five patients affected with chronic painful shoulder and suspected lesion of the rotator cuff were submitted to the Leclercq test and subsequently to arthrography in order to evaluate the conditions of the cuff. In all of the cases where the cuff was whole, and arthrography normal, the Leclercq test was negative. When lesion of the cuff was revealed by arthrography, the test was positive in 75% of the cases considered globally, and in 92% of the cases with complete tear in the rotator cuff.

[Introduction to total parenteral nutrition].

Total parenteral nutrition constitutes a recent resource of intensive therapy that can be applied to a great number of clinical cases. Its realization however requires precise knowledge of metabolic problems and of possible technical complications. As it is not exempt from risks it must be applied with specific competence and in carefully chosen cases.
