[Patho-anatomy of lymph vessels of the liver from a roentgenologic viewpoint].

With increased formation of lymph the lymphatic vessels of the liver are detectable on X-ray and can be assessed. Lymphatic vessels of the portal areas and Glisson's capsule and the pathways of the efferent extrahepatic lymphatics are described. Examples of pathological hepatograms in cirrhosis are presented.

[Differential diagnosis of saddle-like formations in the gastric fundus].

X-ray examination of the stomach sometimes shows a saddle-like impression of the region of the fundus. This phenomenon is without any clinical importance, but there are many diseases such as hiatal hernia, benign and malignant tumours, inflammatory diseases, and varices which are localised at the fundus. Differential diagnostic problems are discussed.

[Roentgenologic analysis of deglutition--evaluation of 231 cases].

The act of swallowing, which can be analysed by means of radiologically well-discernible phases, is described and placed in anatomic correlation. Several items are of essential importance for regular swallowing: the ability to close the lips, the isthmus faucium, epipharynx and epiglottis and also the action of the lingual punch and the involuntary phase of the act of swallowing induced thereby. During the first phase--the voluntary oral phase--the bolus is prepared for swallowing and the oral cavity is separated from the oropharyngx by the closed isthmus faucium.

[Significance of double-contrast arthrographic for the assessment of a meniscus lesion (author's transl)].

On-target and hence successful treatment can be effected only if the diagnosis of a lesion of the meniscus is established beyond doubt. In the present study the authors tested retrospectively the significance of arthrography for the assessment of a meniscus lesion, basing their evaluation on the surgical findings, and examined the diagnostic problems involved in internal lesions of the knee, following knee surgery. The study utilized the results of 279 cases of double-contrast arthrography; 76 of these patients were operated upon.

[The esophagogastral transitional region--localization of acute and chronic hemorrhages (author's transl)].

Various diseases which can be associated with hemorrhages are located in the esophagogastral transitional region. Emergency endoscopy can contribute significantly to the detection of an acute source of hemorrhage. Roentgenologic examination can make significant contributions toward the further clarification of acute and especially chronic hemorrhages, by assessment of the topographic, morphologic, functional and angiologic conditions.

[Transhepatic occlusion of bleeding oesophageal varices in cirrhosis of the liver (author's transl)].

The transhepatic method for occluding bleeding oesophageal varices described by Lunderquist and Vang has been carried out in eight patients. The technique, success rate and complications are discussed. In two patients attempt at thrombosis was unsuccessful.

[The radiological evaluation of the abnormal thymus and its frequency in myasthenia gravis (author's transl)].

The radiological evaluation of the thymus is discussed and the results of 159 pneumomediastinums are described. Amongst these patients, 28.5% had a persistent thymus, 41.

[Congenital hepatic fibrosis and polycystic disease of the kidneys in two siblings (author's transl)].

Report of 2 siblings, aged 12 1/2 and 9 years, with congenital hepatic fibrosis and polycystic disease of the kidneys. Hepatosplenomegaly had been noted in both children at birth. The younger child had suffered from oliguria aged 2 1/2 years.

[Diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the terminal esophagus. (author's transl)].

On hand of a few selected cases diagnostic and differential diagnostic problems of the cardia are discussed. Radiological and endoscopical values are presented.
