A huge intramedullary epidermoid cyst: mimicking cauda equina ependymoma. Diagnostic failure of myelography and myelo-CT.
Intraspinal epidermoid tumors are rare and the intramedullary location is quite uncommon. In this report, a 48-year-old patient with intramedullary epidermoid cyst mimicking a cauda equina ependymoma is presented and diagnostic failure of conventional myelography and Myelo-CT is questioned and related literature is reviewed.

Computed tomography dacryocystography.
Twenty-one patients with epiphora were examined by conventional dacryocystography, using Lipiodol as a contrast medium, and CT dacryocystography, using a water soluble contrast medium. In the latter, the material was not introduced under pressure but three or four drops were administered, providing a physiological method of investigation. Subsequently, CT dacryocystography provides functional information about lacrimal disorders and is easy to use.

Cervical pregnancy: can age and parity be predisposing factors?
A fifty-year old woman, gravida 17, para 17, presented with profuse vaginal bleeding following curettage in another hospital. At emergency laparotomy total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed because of intractable hemorrhage. Histopathologic examination revealed endocervical placentation and adenomyosis uteri. The case is presented due to its rarity and possible predisposing factors are discussed.

Duplicate origin of left vertebral artery with thrombosis at the origin: color Doppler sonography and CT angiography findings.
We describe a rare case of vertebral artery duplication in a patient with vertigo, weakness, and nausea. A color Doppler examination revealed a duplicate origin of the left vertebral artery and a hyperechoic thrombus at the origin of 1 of the duplicated arteries. CT angiography of the lower neck area demonstrated duplicated vertebral arteries on the left side. MR angiography of the vertebrobasilar system did not show duplication, indicating that the duplicated vertebral arteries fused at a level higher than C2.
