[Aortic aneurysm in Turner's syndrome].

In a 23 year old female patient, hospitalized at the internal ward for precollapse condition in tachyarrhythmia seizure with signs of the Turner's syndrome and a corresponding chromosomal finding, a radiographic examination of thorax revealed, beside a spine deformity with a marked scoliosis, a spindle-like aneurysmatic dilatation of aortic arc. The duplication of its contour indicated suspected beginning dissection. The further course did not confirm it, though.

[The effectiveness of vasopressors and vasodilators for pharmaco-dynamic renal angiography (author's transl)].

9,450 radiographs of 355 patients were analysed in order to determine the diagnostic values of pharmaco-dynamic renal angiography. In each case renal angiography was performed by a conventional techinique as the basis for a clinical experimental study of the effectiveness of a-renergic and cholinergic drugs. The comparison showed unequivocally that pharmacodynamic methods may increase the value of renal angiography.
