The cervical spine in fatal motor vehicle accidents.

Of 100 fatal accident cases involving motor vehicles, 60 showed damage to the cervical spine, involving bony or disc damage in 31 and focal haemorrhages in another 29. In 8 cases, pre-autopsy radiology failed to detect lesions which were found by radiology and pathological examination of the post-autopsy specimen. Most of the lesions missed were at the C6-7 region. In some cases, the initial pathological examination 'missed' laterally placed fractures and small chip fractures. Narrow cervical canals in the elderly indicated advanced spondylosis.

Outpatient transurethral balloon urethroplasty.

Transurethral balloon dilatation was performed on 6 patients, who were assessed pre- and post-procedure on symptomatic and urodynamic criteria. Follow-up was on average 11.7 months. Only 1 patient had a successful result, despite early initial improvement in five. In view of our results and reports from other centres we cannot recommend transurethral balloon dilatation of the prostate as treatment in patients with bladder outlet obstruction due to benign prostatic hypertrophy, except in exceptional circumstances.

CT of the spine: are plain spine radiographs necessary?

This study was designed to determine whether plain radiographs added any information of clinical significance to the information provided by CT (computed tomography) and its standard digital radiographs in 100 patients presenting for CT of the lumbar spine and 46 patients presenting for cervical spine CT. In only three (3%) of the lumbar studies and two (4.3%) of the cervical studies did the plain radiographs add diagnostic information. The added diagnostic information did not affect patient management in all cases with indications other than trauma. Good quality oblique cervical spine digital radiographs were obtained in 10 cases simply by moving the tube and detectors to the 45 degrees and 135 degrees azimuths. The evidence from this study suggests that when a CT examination of lumbar or cervical spines is planned on a high resolution CT scanner for indications other than trauma, a conventional plain radiographic examination can be omitted in the first instance.

The consultant surgeon and mammography.

It is important that the mounting wave of criticism of mammography in breast screening programmes should not obscure the fact that it remains the most accurate method of diagnosing breast cancer short of biopsy. Furthermore, breast cancer may be diagnosed by mammography at an early stage before it has spread to regional lymph nodes, at a time when the prognosis is better. At this time it may be beneficial to outline the role of mammography as an aid to the consultant surgeon in the management of patients referred with breast problems.
