Angiographic demonstration of lupus cerebral phlebitis with communicating hydrocephalus.

Two patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, who had striking angiographic abnormalities of venous contour, are presented. Both cases also had communicating hydrocephalus. Postmortem examination of one patient led to a histological explanation of the venous changes observed radiologically. Previous radiological reports have shown involvement of arteries but not veins with lupus erythematosus. The angiographic signs of phlebitis may signify a meningeal reaction which, when combined with ventricular enlargement, should suggest communicating hydrocephalus.

Angiographic demonstration of esophagogastric bleeding from the inferior phrenic artery.

A case is reported of massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding in which the hemorrhage was demonstrated on left inferior phrenic angiography. The anatomy of the inferior phrenic artery is reviewed and it is emphasized that this artery should be studied if no bleeding source is seen on "routine" angiography, especially if a distal esophageal or a proximal gastric lesion is suspected.
