摘要:

AbstractA series of 90 cases of proven myelomatosis has been reviewed to determine the incidence of sclerotic lesions in bone on the initial radiographs. Three such cases were found, and these are described. Case 1 showed multiple, well defined translucencies with sclerotic margins, in the pelvis, ribs, scapula and spine. Case 2 showed a dense area in a lumbar vertebral body which was probably not related to the myeloma and irregular sclerosis in a second lumbar vertebral body which probably was. Case 3 showed an area of sclerosis on initial radiographs of the cervical spine, and the same area four years later showed a destructive lesion.Reported cases of bone sclerosis in myeloma are reviewed and it is concluded that this is a definite, though uncommon, mode of presentation. It may not be peculiar to myeloma, but represent one way in which bone reacts to a slowly growing abnormal focus.Fourteen cases showed signs of neurological involvement, but the only case of peripheral neuropathy also showed bone sclerosis (Case 1). Previous reports of the association of these two lesions are quoted, but no explanation of its significance can be advanced.

摘要:

AbstractA family has been presented in which four members probably had infantile cortical hyperostosis. Three of these have been examined and their radiological findings are reported.Changes considered to be typical of residua of cortical hyperostosis have been described in a male aged 31 and a female aged 15. It is believed that a knowledge of these changes may be useful in the diagnosis of the conditions when it does not present clinically in infancy, or when it is encountered fortuitously during radiological examination for some other cause.

摘要:

AbstractNineteen cases of dystrophia myotonica have been surveyed radiologically. The post-mortem findings in one case and in the infant child of another are presented.Abnormalities were found in the gastro-intestinal tract of 13 out of 18 cases investigated.The commonest changes were in the oesophagus, which showed poor peristalsis and well-marked dilatation, with pooling of barium in the pharynx.Two cases had a barium enema examination. In one of these the colon was atonic with a deficient haustral pattern throughout the bowel.Basal atelectasis with elevation of the diaphragm was present in nine cases.The skull radiographs of 11 patients showed some or all the following features: hyperostosis; thick posterior clinoid processes; ossification of the diaphragma sella; poor mandibular angle; large frontal sinuses.

摘要:

AbstractTwo cases of pulsating sternal tumours are presented due to multiple myeloma. To our knowledge these are the first two instances recorded in the literature. One of the patients had progressive renal failure following intravenous pyelography. It would seem that myeloma should be excluded before undertaking pyelography in patients with pulsating bone tumours.

摘要:

AbstractIn an attempt to find a simple objective method for assessment of osteoporosis applicable to children, the measurement of the metacarpal index by the method devised by Barnett and Nordin (1960) was made in a group of normal children under ten years of age and in a group of children known to have gluten-induced enteropathy. A range of normal values at different ages has been derived from the measurements in the group of normal children in whom the values rose with age but were below the level accepted as normal for adults. In the children with coeliac disease the values also rose with age but were always below those of the control group and the difference was shown to be statistically significant. The metacarpal index previously applied to adults appears to be applicable to the assessment of osteoporosis in children.

摘要:

AbstractA plastic skull with an artificial falx was constructed.A 3 cm square in the temporal area is described which lies perpendicular to most of the 3rd ventricle and pineal body as well as the lower part of the septum pellucidum.A-scan echoencephalograms made from the corners of this square showed that strong echoes either from the falx or the base of the skull were obtained at most angles of incidence of the transducer in the horizontal and coronal planes.A rectangle is described from which it is easier, in a plastic model, to avoid eliciting echoes from the falx and skull base when the transducer is perpendicular to the sagittal plane.An increase in frequency from 1·5 to 2·5 Mc/second accompanied by an increase in receiver sensitivity decreased the ability to scan without eliciting falx or basal echoes.Some of the features of the basal echoes are described. The possibility occurs that they might be elicited during scans of the cerebral mid-line structures and confused with echoes coming from these structures.

摘要:

AbstractTwo cases of tumours of chemoreceptor tissue with angiographic demonstration have been reported. The first case was unusual as it was a tumour of the glomus intravagale and was extensively calcified. The second case with three chemodectomas (glomus jugulare, carotid body and glomus intravagale) illustrates the uncommon multicentric manifestation of these neoplasms.
