摘要:

Vasculopathy in the syndrome of Von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis is a well known but clinically underestimated phenomenon. Its manifestations have included renovascular hypertension, occlusive cerebrovascular disease and visceral ischemia. The progressive arterial disease may involve small vessels on a regular basis and large vessels in a variety of angiographic patterns. A young neurofibromatosis patient is described with an aneurysm of the superior mesenteric artery complicating renovascular hypertension associated with aortic coarctation and renal artery stenosis. This unique angiographic demonstration illustrates the therapeutic dilemmas posed by the vascular disease associated with Von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis.

摘要:

We treated four adults whose upper airway was compromised due to acute epiglottitis. We also reviewed the English literature for all reports of this condition in adults (18 years and older.) Among the 158 cases, the infectious etiology was identified in 29 (H. influenzae 20, Streptococcus pneumoniae six, H. parainfluenzae two, Streptococcus pyogenes one). In the remaining cases, the etiology was uncertain. Bacteremia was documented in 23/32 patients (71.9%), but

摘要:

Two cases of bilateral ureteral obstruction in malignant lymphoma are reported. In one case, primary infiltration of the ureters by Hodgkin's disease was demonstrated, while in the other the obstruction was due to ureteral compression by enlarged lymph nodes. The diagnostic procedures and the management of such cases are discussed.
