Symptomatic vertebral haemangiomas.

Twelve cases of symptomatic vertebral haemangioma are reported in respect of their clinical presentation and radiological findings. One patient was only 10 years old, the youngest patient ever reported. Less commonly known findings of associated paravertebral mass and the displacement of the thoracic paraspinal line are discussed.

Urethral diverticulum in male subjects: report of 5 cases.

We present 5 cases of urethral diverticulum in male subjects, of which 2 were congenital and 3 were acquired. Of these diverticula 4 were in the anterior urethra, while 1 was in the posterior urethra. One congenital diverticulum contained multiple calculi.

The thoracic paraspinal line: further signficance.

Three hundred and seventeen cases which included 100 normal individuals have been studied for roentgen significance of the thoracic paraspinal line (TPL). The descending thoracic aorta greatly determines the course and configuration of the TPL. In a right-sided aorta, the TPL is seen on the right side as a mirror image of a left-sided TPL. Lateral deviation of the TPL and descending aorta occur as an ageing process. In systemic hypertension where there is an aortic unfolding, the TPL also unfolds and the degree of TPL deviation has a fair degree of linear relationship with the severity and duration of hypertension in young individuals. Most cases of mitral valvular disease show lateral deviation of the TPL and descending aorta. In these cases the enlarged left atrium displaces the descending aorta and hence the posteromedial border of left lung posterolaterally tangential to the vertebral column resulting in deviation of the TPL and aorta. Perioesophageal spread of carcinoma of the oesophagus into the posterior mediastinum is indicated by changes in pleuro-oesophageal interface and TPL. Mediastinal lymphadenopathy in cases of testicular tumours may be detected by discovery of TPL deviation on frontal radiographs of the thoracic spine. In extradural masses such as granulomas, abscesses and metastatic deposits, the TPL shows a localised bulge corresponding to the clinical and myelographic level of spinal compression.

Peripheral retinal cryotherapy as a treatment for neovascular glaucoma.

This treatment does have a place in the management of the established conditions because, when it is successful, some guiding vision is maintained; this is potentially important, as a central retinal vein thrombosis may affect the second eye. Restoring a normotensive eye has other long-term advantages; it is cosmetically better, and is unlikely to lead to a degenerate cornea, which would otherwise occur, and might lead to late endophalmitis.

Qualitative analysis of the performance of introverts and extraverts on Standard Progressive Matrices.

The present study was designed to bring out the differences between extraverts and introverts on Standard Progressive Matrices. A group of 100 subjects of equal number of sexes were given a qualitative analysis of their performance on SPM. The study brought out the initial superiority of extraverts over introverts. But with passage of time and increase in difficulty level the introverts did significantly better as shown both by the t-ratios and the F-ratios. Personality interacted with sex to yield differences in performance of wrong scores only. These findings were discussed in terms of arousal, cortical excitation and reactive inhibition.
