[The dural arteriovenous fistula treatment by embolization].

The transverse sinus is one of the most common locations for dural fistulas. A 43-year-old man with pulsatile tinnitus had arteriography that showed a left transverse dural arteriovenous fistula. We report on the treatment of the fistula with embolization of the supplying arteries. Primary transarterial embolization failed to completely obliterate the fistula and the recurrent symptoms were observed. Subsequent embolization was tried by using PVA (polyvinyl alcohol), spongostan and mechanical detachable coils and resulted in the improvement of the patient's tinnitus. The additional arteriographical finding was microangioma located on the branch supplying the fistula arising from the left vertebral artery.

[Hyperthyroidism and pregnancy].

DESIGN: The aim of our study was to describe a course of pregnancy, delivery and puerperal time in women hospitalized in our Clinic during their pregnancies because of hyperthyroidism. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixteen case reports (thirteen pregnant women) were retrospectively analysed. Our study embrace data from the recent ten years. RESULTS: In all cases pregnancies, deliveries and puerperal time proceeded without any serious complications. Infants were delivered in good condition and no congenital defects were reported. CONCLUSIONS: 1. A proper treatment of hyperthyroidism in a pregnant woman determines the correct course of pregnancy, delivery and puerperal time. 2. We have not found any congenital defects, hypotrophy cases and infants' death reports in our material. 3. Hyperthyroidism in pregnancy does not determine cesarean section as a way of delivery.
