[Liver abscess--a rare complication of ventriculoperitoneal drainage--case report].

The authors present liver abscess as the rare complication of a ventriculoperitoneal drainage. Diagnostics includes combination of USG and CT examination. The treatment requires the evacuation of an abscess cavity temporary followed by the externalization of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt and antibiotic therapy. This complication is important to think about in the differential diagnostics of acute fever, abdominal pain and general signs of sepsis in a patient with ventriculoperitoneal shunt.

[A brain injury caused by a fragment from a soda water carbon dioxide cartridge].

The authors present a report on the treatment of a female patient with a brain injury caused by a splint from an exploded sparklet used for making soda water. The rare occurrence of gunshot wounds in peace time leads to embarrassment as regards treatment of patients with this type of injury. It was found that in gunshot wounds of the head and brain it is necessary to revise the pathway of the splint after craniotomy, remove the foreign body, bone fragments and debris, then close carefully the opening in the dura mater, remove the margins of the bone contaminated with the object which caused the injury and stitch the skin. The authors draw attention to difficulties associated with localization of the foreign body in the pathway of the splint and to the possible use of peroperative two-dimensional ultrasonography.

Some ultrasonic values of carotid arteries.

Examinations of both common carotid arteries in men and women divided into three age categories (up to 30 years, from 30 to 50 years, over 50 years) were performed by ultrasonographic B-scan and Doppler technique. The average value of the maximal systolic speed of blood flow was in men 100.55 cm.s-1, in women 99.10 cm.s-1. The average speed of blood flow in men as well as women at the age up to 30 years was 110 cm.s-1; at the age from 30 to 50 years 102 cm.s-1 (-7.2%); at the age over 50 years 86 cm.s-1 (-21.8%). The average diameter D of the right common carotid artery in men was 6.37 mm, of the left 7.0 mm; in women 5.75 mm of the right and 6.0 mm of the left.
