[Use of an ex vivo technique in a patient with renal arteriovenous malformation in complication endovascular treatment].

Renal arteriovenous malformation is a rarely encountered disease characterized by the presence of a direct arteriovenous shunt between the renal artery and vein. This nosology was first described by Varela in 1928, and by 1997 the number of such cases amounted to slightly more than 200. Endovascular closure of a fistula seems to be an attractive method of treatment in view of low traumaticity and a short period of rehabilitation.

[Botulinum toxine treatment and the formation of antibodies to botulotoxin in patients with cerebral palsy].

The aim of the study was to search for the association between efficacy of botulinum treatment (dysport) and the formation of antibodies to botulinum toxin in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Fourteen children with CP received dysport, 42 children (29 with CP and 13 patients with paresises of other etiologies) were not treated with this drug. No association between the presence of antibodies in blood serum and efficacy of treatment was found.

[Repetitive botulinum toxine injections in children with cerebral palsy: causes of parents' decline and the ways to resolve].

The refuse of the parents of the child with spastic cerebral palsy to use botulinum toxine as a part of multidisciplinary prolonged treatment can be destructive for the achievement of the goals of the rehabilitation. 65 parents of children with CP were assessed to clarify the substituted causes for rejection. Answers, caused by real adverse effects of the medication were rarest.

[Diagnostics and surgical treatment of solid pseudopapillary pancreas tumors].

Solid-pseudopapillary pancreatic tumors (SPPT) are slow-growing tumors and have a considerably good prognosis, in case of radical removal. Thus, results of surgical treatment of 10 patients with SPPT were analyzed. On the basis of ultrasound examination, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and intraoperative picture 2 groups of patients were formed.

[Radiological endovascular correction of azygous visceral arterial aneurysms].

Visceral arterial aneurysms are a rare vascular pathology, which lacks specific clinical signs. Imaging modalities play a key role in their diagnosis. Today radiological endovascular interventions appear to be the method of choice for the management of most patients with azygous visceral arterial aneurysms.
