[Hepatic chemotherapy by hepatic arterial catheterization with an implantable system allowing permanent vascular access].

This technique of anti-cancer treatment of hepatic cancers has a twofold interest: it delivers local chemotherapy in direct contact with the tumours and it allows repeated access to the blood supply of the liver without the need for surgery. This second point is particularly emphasized in the form of a technical description of the method of approach to the hepatic arterial system, which is as non-aggressive as possible and which allows permanent vascular access. This study, which required close collaboration between the departments of Vascular Radiology, Radiotherapy and Surgery, was initially considered as a feasibility study of a technique enabling the simple use of implantable vascular access sites.

[Cranial localizations of sarcoidosis. Apropos of a case. General review of the 21 reported cases].

A case of sarcoidosis with lesions also localized to the cranial region is reported, and 21 similar cases published in the literature reviewed. Lesions are usually seen as small lacunae in the cranial vault, and are commonly associated with neurologic and cutaneous manifestations of the disease. They appear to be very rare but their frequency is probably underestimated.
