Objective: To describe the clinical course, diagnostic features and management of a case of reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome after a lateral cranial base removal.

Patient: A 58-year-old male patient with an inconspicuous clinical history presented with a lethargic state without localized neurologic deficit in the postoperative period of a subtotal petrosectomy for an adenoid cystic carcinoma of the temporal bone.

[Informatics and parenteral and enteral nutrition: the state of the art].

A review was performed of the progress made with the assistance of computers in the parenteral and enteral nutrition field as one more of the many uses made today of the computer industry. Detailed analysis is presented by the authors of the different types of hardware used, as well as the main characteristics and content of the programmes and applications existing in this field, both restricted to small working groups and in management. A comparative study was also made of the management programmes distributed free of charge by some laboratories.
