Hereditary angioneurotic edema is a potentially fatal condition. Below is described the first reported case of the initial presentation of the condition precipitated by vaginal delivery.
Arthrography was performed in 105 cases with freshly sprained ankles and signs of rupture of the anterior talofibular ligament. They were subsequently operated upon. The arthrographic films were examined retrospectively to assess the value of different criteria for the differential diagnosis between rupture of the anterior talofibular ligament and combined rupture of this and the calcaneofibular ligament. The diagnostic value of arthrography was found to be high in isolated rupture of the anterior talofibular ligament, and is acceptable in the combined ruptures.

Two cases of hepatic hemangiomas are described diagnosed by angiography and controlled by repeat angiography after 2.5 and 6 years, respectively. The radiologic appearance is described and although it varies, angiography must be considered the safest method of diagnosis; biopsy is contraindicated. Steroid therapy seems to be a possible mode of treatment.
The value of various radiographic methods (except laryngography) in laryngeal carcinoma was assessed in a material of 71 patients. Radiography proved of no value in T1 and T2 tumours if a satisfactory clinical examination could be performed but gave valuable information in recurrences as well as in T3 and T4 cases.
Five cases of vertebra plana have been reported, three with spontaneous regeneration and two caused by Ewing's sarcoma. It is emphasized that the diagnosis eosinophilic granuloma must rely on surgical biopsy.
