Bilateral glenoid hypoplasia.

A case of bilateral glenoid hypoplasia in a boy afflicted with posterior fossa medulloblastoma is described. Glenoid hypoplasia is a rarely reported bilateral finding either in subjects complaining of shoulder pain or abduction/adduction movements reduction as well as shoulder recurrent dislocations. In this patient as in most of those reported in the literature the finding was incidental and could have been easily overlooked. It consists of shallow, irregular glenoid fossae which are hypoplastic, whereas the humeral heads are normal in size and shape. At the present time there is no explanation for this anomaly.

[Vein patency in patients with pacemaker implanted via subclavian vein: digital phlebography assessment].

Venous thrombosis is a well-known complication of permanent cardiac pacemaker implantation, particularly, chronic occlusion of the subclavian vein is reported to occur in 20-33% of the cases where the percutaneous approach is performed. We examined 135 asymptomatic patients with digital venography to asses the frequency of venous thromboses causing stenosis and occlusion of the subclavian or anonymous arteries in pacemaker carriers. We considered both one- (44) and two-chamber (91) pacemakers and investigated a possible statistically significant difference between them: we found 21 venous thromboses (15%), seven of them in one-chamber pacemakers (15.9%) and 14 two-chambers pacemakers (15.3%). None of our 94 male and 41 female patients was on anticoagulants or had any evidence of coagulation disorders. Venography was performed 39.3 months (mean) after pacemaker implantation (range: 3-120 months). We conclude that digital venography is a simple and relatively noninvasive method permitting better depiction of subclavian, anonymous and caval veins than Doppler US and also showing some vascular abnormalities which may complicate pacemaker implantation.
