The paper presents the case of a gigantic inoperable hemangiolipoma of the right upper leg with infiltration into femur. Performed embolization therapy resulted in satisfactory subjective and objective improvement.
We were checking the thermal waters of Varazdinske Toplice--sulfuric mineral calcium natrium hydrocarbonic sulfatic hyperthermic (t: 57.8 st. C, H2S: 8.1 mg/l, min: 955 mg/l mvol uk. 24.70 Ca: 50.12 mvol%, HCO3 54.12 mval%, SO4 26.18 mval%) on the sugar level in the patient's blood, suffering from Diabetes mellitus. We were following the state of 35 patients who were on the peroral therapy with the antidiabetics and ADA diet before coming in our hospital. We excluded the medication therapy at the beginning of the experiment. The patients were drinking 1200 ml of mineral water daily and spent 30 min bathing in the same water. The checking lasted 20 days in the average, and the level of GUK was measured every third day. The results are encouraging, further examinations are still lasting.
From material of over 10,000 CTs a comparative study of computed tomography and ventriculography with contrast media was carried out. We examined 18 patients with suspected expansive lesions localized in the 3rd ventricle, aqueduct of Sylvius, and 4th ventricle. We have found that CT is the method of choice in these cases and that ventriculography should be reserved for those cases which have clear clinical indications.

The results of PTRA in treatment of renovascular hypertension in four children aged 5, 7, 13 and 15 are presented. All patients suffered from severe hypertension. Tests showed all of them to have fibromuscular dysplasia stenosis of the main renal artery and significant lateralization of renin levels. One suffered from associated polycystosis of kidneys and in another the renal artery stenosis was bilateral. In all patients successful patency was achieved. In one patient, the arterial pressure after PTRA was normalized, while in the others it was considerably improved. Two patients, tested 8 and 12 months after PTRA, were lost to further follow-up. In one of the remaining two, stenosis and hypertension reappeared 5 years after PTRA. After autotransplantation the patient was normotensive. In the other, also 5 years later, recurrent hypertension appeared related to the associated polycystosis.
