Death due to gross vascular perforation by pulmonary carcinoma.

This brief historical data of a patient dying of severe hematemesis as a result of broncho-esophago-aortal fistula in primary pulmonary cavitating carcinoma is presented. It indicates that the elastic wall of the arteries even that of the aorta, is not a barrier to the penetration of the malignant cells. The neoplasm was in an advanced stage with gross vascular involvement but distant metastases did not occur even in microscopic examination. Liomyoma of the uterus was associated with lung carcinoma.

Spontaneous return of function after surgical excision of the seventh cranial nerve in parotid tumor surgery.

Spontaneous return of function after surgical excision of the seventh cranial nerve in surgery of parotid tumors is not impossible. This seems to occur through the several existing neural pathways between the fifth and seventh cranial nerves. It is probable that voluntary motor impulses by reeducation find their way from the cortex through the fifth cranial nerve to the respective muscles.

Adult

Renal artery embolectomy.

A patient with rheumatic heart disease developed right renal artery embolism and was treated by renal artery embolectomy. After a brief historical data, etiologic factors, clinicopathologic points, and treatment of the disease have been discussed.

Embolism

Cardio-auditory syndrome of Jervell and Lange-Nielsen.

An 8-year-old deaf-mute girl experienced syncopal attacks. Past medical history revealed cardiac arrhythmia which had developed following an abdominal surgery for a twisted ovarian cyst. Electrocardiogram showed a Q-Tc interval of 40/100 second. The diagnosis was Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome. Etiology, physiopathology, clinical picture, and management of the disease are discussed.

Arrhythmias, Cardiac

Split hands and feet.

We present 2 Iranian children, siblings, with the very rare but classical 'lobster-claw' deformities of hands and feet. We could not trace any hereditary influences.

Abnormalities, Multiple

Prevention of headache consequent upon dural puncture in obstetric patient.

Three consecutive groups of 50 obstetric patients received spinal anaesthesia. The control group received no prophylactic treatment for spinal headache, the second group were treated by the epidural injection of 20-25 ml of normal saline and the third group were treated by abdominal binder. There was no statistically significant difference between the two forms of treatment but the results show that the incidence of post spinal puncture headache can be significantly reduced by applying either of them.
