[Multilevel revascularization of the lower extremities using loop endarterectomy].

Results of 91 reconstructions of the ilio-femoro-popliteal segment in patients with multilevel injuries of the lower extremity arteries were analyzed. In 42 of the operations a method of operations associated with loop endarterectomy was used. The first stage in all the patients consisted of iliac deep femoral reconstructions or semi-closed loop endarterectomy from iliac arteries in order for inclusion in blood flow of the profound femoral artery.

[The late diagnosis of temporal lobe tumors with the epileptic seizure syndrome].

Based on the experience gained with surgical treatment of 658 epileptic patients the authors discuss 7 cases of late diagnosis of gliomas of the temporal lobe. Cessation of the attacks after stereotaxic cryodestruction for 6 months to 6 years does not exclude that tumor may grow. The occurrence of new foci of neurological symptoms is prognostically unfavourable.

[Early differential diagnosis of brain tumors with temporal epileptic syndrome and temporal epilepsy].

A total of 33 patients with brain tumors and 22 patients with temporal epilepsy were compared. The differential diagnostic signs at the initial stages were revealed. In tumors, the disease starts most commonly from paroxysms of the isolated aura or complex absence epilepsy types.
