Radiographic appearance of lliac marrow biopsy sites.

Following biopsy of marrow from the iliac bone, a lytic lesion, circular and with a sclerotic border, will be seen at the site of the biopsy in the posterior-superior iliac spine. Knowledge of this iatrogenic lesion permits its differentiation from more significant conditions.

Multiple lymphangiomas of the neck, axilla, mediastinum, and bones in an adult.

Whereas lymphangiomas of the neck, axilla, or mediastinum are not uncommon in children, they are rarely found in the adult, and primary lymphangioma of bone is very rare. The authors report a case of multiple lymphangiomas of the neck, axilla, mediastinum, and bones in a 34-year-old man, which they believe to be only the second such case reported thus far.

Controlled trial of glycerol versus dexamethasone in the treatment of cerebral oedema in acute cerebral infarction.

10 percent glycerol was given for 6 days to 30 patients who had had acute ischaemic cerebral infarction, and the results were compared with those obtained after treating 31 similar patients with dexamethasone (16 mg. per 24 hours for 6 days). 1 patient treated with glycerol died of haemoglobinuria and acute renal failure. 6 patients treated with dexamethasone died--3 from cerebral oedema and 3 from non-neurological complications (pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, and aspiration pneumonia). Improvement was significantly greater in the glycerol group after 8 and 15 days. No improvement was noted using either glycerol or dexamethasone in 7 patients with spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage.
