ABSTRACT
A 26-year old woman developed left homonymous superior quadrantanopia followed by severe pulsating headache with vomiting. Thereafter, she experienced recurrent left hemiparesis and paresthesia with or without headache. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed diffusion restriction in the territory of the right posterior cerebral artery and contrast enhancement in the right lingual gyrus adjacent to the diffusion-restricted region. This case suggests an occurrence of cerebral infarction and blood-brain barrier disruption associated with migraine with aura.

ABSTRACT
An evaluation of axillary block in 803 clinical cases, during the period from January 1974 to June 1979, was made. Satisfactory results were obtained in 756 out of 803 blocks (94. 2%) with the axillary perivascular technique. The authors feetl that the axillary perivascular technique in which a relatively large volume(40~50ml) of anesthetic solution was administered into the perivasculsr space of the axilla was simple, convenient and had no serious complications compared to the supra-or subclavian perivascular technique and interscalene block for a diagnosis and treatment of upper extremities.
