Computed tomographic diagnosis of abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Diagnosis of abdominal aortic aneurysms has been facilitated by the use of computed tomography (CT). This is illustrated by four cases, presented here, two of which were diagnosed by angiography and CT, and two having been operated upon on the basis of CT diagnosis alone. We feel that CT can replace angiographic studies by supplying the surgeon with all the pre-operative details needed. CT is more accurate than angiography, since the latter may underestimate the true diameter of aneurysms, or can even give false-negative results. With CT it is possible to detect signs of rupture or pre-rupture states of aneurysms that have not been suspected on angiographic or clinical grounds.

'Malignant' macroscopic appearance of an inflammatory testicular lesion--a reminder for surgeons.

Inflammatory changes in the tunica vaginalis testis may assume a misleading appearance which is highly suggestive of malignancy. Obviously, histological examination is crucial for establishing the corrent diagnosis. This phenomenon has been described in texts dealing specifically with testicular pathology, but is not emphasized in standard text books of urology, surgery or pathology. An illustrative case serves as the basis for discussing this entity, for the purpose of familiarizing it to surgeons, urologists and pathologists who are yet unaware of it.

A new sequential pneumatic device for the prevention of deep vein thrombosis.

A new sequential pneumatic instrument for the prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), the Lympha Press, was investigated in neurosurgical patients. In the control group, 50% of patients developed DVT and in the treated group only 4.3% were affected. These results demonstrate the highly beneficial effect of this method of preventing DVT during and after surgery, especially when the use of other preventive methods is precluded.

The diagnosis and management of hyperparathyroidism during pregnancy.

Hyperparathyroidism during pregnancy is rare and very few cases have undergone parathyroidectomy during the course of gestation. In reviewing the literature it is apparent that surgery during the second trimester should be the treatment of choice. The complication rate of untreated cases may reach 80% and include spontaneous abortion, fetal death and neonatal tetany. The paper is illustrated with appropriate cases.
