[Primary Aspergillus endocarditis. Apropos of a case and review of the international literature].

The authors report a case of primary aspergillus endocarditis with endophthalmitis and vertebral osteomyelitis. No underlying disease and no predisposing factors were found. Valve replacement plus combined antifungal chemotherapy proved to be effective as the patient is asymptomatic 18 months after the first symptoms.

[Ischemic accident caused by thrombosis of a venous angioma. Apropos of a case].

Authors report one case of cerebral ischemic accident by thrombosis of a venous angioma of brain. This kind of malformation is quite unusual and was considered by most authors as unable to involve supratentorial ischemic complications. This case seems to be the first reported in the literature and demonstrates that venous brain ischemic accidents can result from venous angioma of the brain.

[X-ray computed tomographic and angiographic aspects of venous angiomas of the brain. Apropos of 15 cases].

Clinical, computed tomography and angiography investigations were conducted in 15 cases of venous angioma of brain. These rare malformations (70 cases reported) are often asymptomatic or are revealed by the onset of epileptic seizures. The scanner produced images suggestive of a vascular malformation in 80% of cases.

CT in cerebral thrombophlebitis.

The authors report their experience based upon 56 cases of CT in cerebral thrombophlebitis. Direct signs of occlusion of the veins are infrequent and interest lies in the abnormalities due to brain edema or venous infarct. It is fundamental to recognize these infarcts as their evolution is favorable under treatment.
