The clinical material of this report includes 100 cases of TIAs, studied with angiographic investigations in the past four years: lesions in the carotid system were more common (78%) than in the vertebro-basilar system (22%). Ulcerative and stenotic atheromatous plaques of the carotid artery were the more frequent alterations in our cases of TIAs in the carotid system. Thrombosis of the internal carotid artery was fairly frequent. Angiographic investigations used in our patients are presented.

[Computerized axial tomography in the study of orbital pathology].

In recent years, C.A.T. has revolutionized the diagnostic iter in the field of orbitary pathology. Although echotomography has reached very good results in this field, C.A.T. still remains, according to the Authors the most reliable diagnostic approach, because of its excellent insight of normal and pathological orbital material. the analysis of personal casistics of 120 orbital tomodensitometric examinations has proved this event, especially as retrobulbar expansive pathology is concerned.

[Clinical and angiographic aspects of medullary angiomas].

The authors present six personal cases of medullary angiomas: three cases of retromedullary, one of intramedullary and two of intra-retromedullary vascular malformations. One of two last cases was associated with a paravertebral arteriovenous malformation. The neuroradiologic investigations include a water-soluble myelography, with hypocicloidal tomography, and spinal cord selective angiography. The latter present many advantages of the aortography, for feeding arteries visualization, but the site of the shunt inside the intervertebral foramen can be localized only by angiotomography. In our cases neurological complications or clinical worsening were not found.
