Anaplastic (malignant) ganglioglioma arising from heterotopic grey matter nodules.

Anaplastic ganglioglioma is a rare malignant neoplasm. The short clinical course and the anaplastic histological features are characteristics of malignant ganglioglioma. Immunohistochemistry is necessary for the final diagnosis.

The history of angiography.

From the beginning of the era of X-rays, cardiac radiology has become a target of this new technique. Early pioneers, Ciegem, Rieder, Rosenthal, Williams rapidly accumulated extensive experience with fluoroscopy and radiography and publications on cardiac diseases as soon as 1899 and 1901 and 1902. The next step in cardiac diagnosis was achieved by Forsmann in 1929, with the first attempt at cardiac catheterization and angiocardiography.

Focal leptomeningeal MR enhancement along the chiasm as a presenting sign of multiple sclerosis.

We demonstrate focal leptomeningeal enhancement along the chiasm on MRI in a 28-year-old man presenting with blurred vision and bitemporal visual field defects. The diagnosis of clinically definite multiple sclerosis was confirmed by laboratory investigations and brain MR findings.

Serratus anterior muscle in composite head and neck flaps.

The serratus muscle (SAM) can be raised as an isolated muscular or osteomuscular flap on its nutrient vessels or in combination with a latissimus dorsi (LD) myocutaneous flap on the thoracodorsal pedicle for various reconstructive purposes. The aim of the present is to report on the results achieved after the use of the SAM alone (n = 7) and in combination with an LD (n = 3) after tumor resection or osteoradionecrosis (ORN) in ten patients with defects of the head and neck. One flap was lost due to venous thrombosis.

Late loco-regional recurrences after radical resection for mandibular ameloblastoma.

5 cases of mandibular ameloblastoma are described with multiple recurrences after a long period of time. 4 of them were primarily treated by radical resection. 1 was initially treated by enucleation and extensive resection was performed only after its recurrence.
