The four sulphonamides studied--furosemide, tolbutamide, sulfafurazole and sulfonamidochlorobenzoic acid--bind to human albumin at the same sites but with decreasing affinity. These sites are also common to other drugs, namely acenocoumarin, chlorophenoxyisobutyric acid, phenylbutazone and warfarin. In plasma, the four sulphonamides considered bind mainly to albumin, but also, at higher concentrations, to globulins, to an extent that increases as their affinity for albumin lessens.
From 1978-1986, 63 patients (48-79 years) under coumarin derivatives had to be hospitalized neurosurgically because of intracranial or intraspinal bleedings. This corresponds to a twelvefold increased risk compared to the untreated people. The male/female ratio was 1.5. At the time of the bleeding there was no true indication for anticoagulation in at least 60% of the patients. 80% with coma on admission died. Only for 2/7 with an intraspinal hemorrhage the outcome was better than paraplegic. Women proved to have a better chance of survival. There is a need for more concise indications for chronic anticoagulation.
Acute splenoportal and superior mesenteric venous thrombosis were diagnosed on sonography and computed tomography (CT) in six patients. Sonography demonstrated the presence of echoic material filling the involved vessels in all patients. Precontrast CT scans demonstrated an increased, intra luminal density of the clots in four patients with splenoportal thrombosis. However, in two cases of superior mesenteric venous thrombosis, no hyperdensity was observed within the lumens. Nevertheless, the clots were always visualized as low-density regions in the vessel lumens after bolus injection. Intravenous anticoagulant therapy was started immediately after the diagnosis. All patients were evaluated twice a week with sonography and/or CT until recanalization occurred. The patency of the previously involved vessels was assessed from 6 days to 4 weeks after the acute episode (average time of recanalization: 17 days) without development of collateral pathways. It is concluded that, in the absence of clinical signs of a life-threatening process, a conservative management of acute splanchnic thrombosis can be successfully achieved by (1) early diagnosis, (2) efficacious intravenous anticoagulant therapy, (3) careful imaging follow-up of these patients by sonography and/or CT during the acute phase and, finally, (4) by an extensive search for a hypercoagulable state.

This paper highlights the fundamental role of MRI in the diagnosis of Neuro-Behçet disease. We present 4 cases examined between 1990 and 1991. Treatment in all the cases seems to have improved the patients' prognoses.
