[CT findings in alcohol intoxicated patients after mild brain injury].

Objective: To find out severity of brain injury in alcohol intoxicated patients after mild (GCS 13-15) brain injury.

Methods: A retrospective study of all patients older than 15 years in whom cranial CT (CCT) scan was performed between October 2006 and September 2007. Information of alcohol intoxication, injury mechanism, details of facial/head injuries, admission GCS, CCT findings and type of treatment were retrieved from patients' medical records.

Four types of hernia may occur in the area of esophageal hiatus. Type I is represented by hiatus slipping hernia. Type II is represented by hernia, which is generally known as paraesophageal hernia.

[Retroperitoneal hematoma and femoral compression neuropathy--a complication of anticoagulation therapy after myocardial infarct].

Anticoagulant treatment with coumarins is due to it unequivocal benefit and relatively low risk increasingly used for prevention of sudden cerebrovascular attacks, in atrial fibrillation, in the treatment of thromboembolic disease, as part of treatment after replacement of cardiac valves and other diseases. With the increasing number of indications and patients treated with oral anticoagulants the number of haemorrhagic complications is increasing. The submitted case-history demonstrates an uncommon haemorrhagic complication, retroperitoneal haematoma associated with a neurological symptomatology in a 59-year-old patient who had prolonged anticoagulant treatment with monocoumarin with permanent non-rheumatic atrial fibrillation, a history of an anteroseptal myocardial infarction with an aneurysm and apical thrombus, polycythemia and chronic venous insufficiency.

[Lymphographic examination in gynecologic tumors].

The paper presents the results of lymphographic and histological examination of lymphographic nodes having been extirpated during operation on patients with gynaecological tumours. Both kinds of examination are compared.

[Lympho-renal fistula in lymphatic imaging].

On the case of 10 years old boy with chyluria the authors emphasize the importance of lymphographic examination for proving the pyelolymphatic connection. The lymphographic examination was applied after the complete examination including computer tomography and ultrasound, since these examinations did not prove changes of the urinary and lymphatic systems which could explain the milky clouding of the urine lasting for several months. Changes in the biochemical profile were significant as well as non-constant ejaculation of milky cloudy urine from the opening of the right ureter.
