Exclusive petrosal drainage of traumatic parasellar fistulae is uncommon (carotid-petrosal fistula). In the reported case successful treatment was achieved by muscle embolization and ligature of the ipsilateral internal and external carotid arteries.
Two standard treadmill walking tests were carried out one week apart upon 117 patients with stable claudication. Although total walking time achieved was reproducible, there was a highly significant delay in the onset of pain during the second test. Absolute limb pressures, determined by Doppler, were reproducible for the group as a whole, although individual variation could be significant. A single walking test is an inadequate assessment of claudication.
Venous thrombosis in childhood is an extremely rare condition. The etiologic factors in childhood are different than in the adult. Generalized infection seems to play the main etiologic role, and for this reason antibiotic treatment is usually necessary. Anticoagulant treatment is mandatory; however its application presents many difficulties. The administration of calcium-heparin subcutaneously for a long time is feasible, well-controlled, without side effects and highly effective. The authors therefore strongly recommended this anticoagulant treatment in childhood.
