ABSTRACT: We report a case of avascular necrosis of the epiphysis of the right first metatarsal in a 6-year-old boy. Radiographs showed sclerosis, collapse and a crescent sign in the epiphysis. The diagnosis was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging and scintigraphy. Arch support was the therapy of choice. Six months after the onset of symptoms, a definite reossification was present. To our knowledge, this is the first radiological report of avascular necrosis of the epiphysis of the first metatarsal bone in the world literature, which prompted a review of the osteochondroses and their etiology.

ABSTRACT: The preoperative fistulography used in cases of second branchial cleft anomalies is an effective method of showing the exact anatomy and topography of these fistulas in the neck. This visualisation is very important because the only therapeutic solution is complete surgical resection. This method is easy to perform and is painless. We report two patients with branchiogenic anomalies. The diagnosis was established by fistulography and histological examination.

ABSTRACT: We report on a case of recurrent superior mesenteric artery (SMA) stenosis with symptomatic mesenteric angina after SMA angioplasty. Stent placement of postostial atherosclerotic disease was proposed, with successful result. Moderate aortic protrusion was noted. Feasibility of PTA and stenting of mesenteric stenoses become increasingly obvious, but long term follow-up studies still have to provide sufficient results on clinical outcome and possible complications.

ABSTRACT: Cystic adventitial disease of the popliteal artery is a rare and benign disease. The appearance of claudication in a young non-smoking male and the typical angiographic findings usually confirm the pathology.

ABSTRACT: Amiodarone (Cordarone) is an antiarrhythmic drug that may cause toxic pulmonary reactions. Clinical symptoms include dyspnea on exertion, cough and weight-loss. On chest X-ray diffuse interstitial and patchy alveolar disease are noted. The patient's condition improves after discontinuation of amiodarone and administration of corticosteroids.
